Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Pharmacodynamic, Pharmacokinetic, Safety, Efficacy

To evaluate the effect of systemic Complement Component 5 (C5) inhibition on Geographic atrophy (GA) lesion growth over 52 weeks

Secondary objectives 5

1. To evaluate the effect of systemic C5 inhibition on functional measures of GA disease progression
2. To evaluate the effect of systemic C5 inhibition on GA lesion growth over 104 weeks
3. To assess the concentrations of total pozelimab in serum and total C5 and cemdisiran in plasma
4. To assess immunogenicity of pozelimab and cemdisiran
5. To assess the safety of pozelimab + cemdisiran combination therapy and cemdisiran monotherapy

Conditions and MedDRA coding

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 5

1. Study eye with diagnosis of GA of the macula secondary to AMD as described in the protocol
2. Total GA area in the study eye measuring between ≥2.5 mm^2 and ≤17.5 mm^2 as described in the protocol
3. BCVA of 55 letters or better using ETDRS charts (20/80 Snellen equivalent) in the study eye as described in the protocol
4. Sufficiently clear ocular media, adequate pupillary dilation and fixation to permit quality fundus imaging in the study eye as described in the protocol
5. Willing and able to comply with clinic visits and study-related procedures, including completion of the full series of meningococcal vaccinations and pneumococcal vaccination required per protocol

Exclusion criteria 14

1. GA in either eye due to causes other than AMD, such as Stargardt disease, cone rod dystrophy or toxic maculopathies like hydroxychloroquine maculopathy
2. History or current evidence of Macular Neovascularization (MNV) and/or exudation or Peripapillary Choroidal Neovascularization (PPCNV) in either eye as described in the protocol
3. Prior or current Intravitreal (IVT) treatment of any kind for any indication in study eye or fellow eye, except approved or investigational IVT complement inhibitor therapy or anti-VEGF therapy, as long as last dose was ≥6 months prior to randomization
4. Prior intraocular surgery except cataract extraction or minimally invasive glaucoma surgery in study eye as long as date of these procedures was ≥3 months prior to randomization
5. Comorbid progressive ocular condition (eg, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, uncontrolled glaucoma, full thickness macular hole) in study eye that could affect central vision and confound study
6. Any ophthalmologic condition that reduces the clarity of the media and that, in the opinion of the investigator interferes with ophthalmologic examination of the study eye (e.g., advanced cataract or corneal abnormalities) as described in the protocol
7. Systemic Exclusion criteria: History or current use of systemic complement inhibitor therapy within 6 months prior to randomization as described in the protocol
8. Systemic Exclusion criteria: History of solid organ or bone marrow transplantation
9. Systemic Exclusion criteria: Use of chronic (>14 days) systemic corticosteroids (oral or parenteral, ≥20 mg oral prednisone or equivalent) within the previous 30 days prior to the first screening visit as described in the protocol
10. Systemic Exclusion criteria: Current or prior use of systemic immunosuppressive therapy other than corticosteroids within 12 months prior to randomization or the likelihood of treatment with any such agent during the study inclusive of the screening period as described in the protocol
11. Systemic Exclusion criteria: Not meeting meningococcal or pneumococcal vaccination requirements as described in the protocol
12. Systemic Exclusion criteria: Carrier of Neisseria meningitidis based on culture collected during screening
13. Systemic Exclusion criteria: Has a hemoglobin A1C ≥ 8.0% during screening as described in the protocol
14. Note: Other protocol-defined Inclusion/ Exclusion Criteria apply
