A Study Assessing the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Galegenimab (FHTR2163) in Participants With Geographic Atrophy Secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Purpose

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of intravitreal injections of galegenimab (FHTR2163) administered every 4 weeks (Q4W) or every 8 weeks (Q8W) for approximately 76 weeks in participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) compared with sham control. After completing the study's last visit (Week 76), eligible participants will have the option to enroll in open-label extension study NCT04607148 (GR42558) and receive open-label galegenimab (FHTR2163) injections.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age >/= 60 years at time of signing Informed Consent Form; - Visual acuity: best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) letter score >/= 24 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/320 or better). If the study eye BCVA letter score is >/= 69 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/40 or better), the non-study eye must have a BCVA letter score of >/= 44 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/125 or better); - Well-demarcated area of GA secondary to AMD with no evidence of prior or active choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in either eye.

Exclusion Criteria

Ocular Exclusion Criteria, Study Eye: - History of vitrectomy surgery, submacular surgery, or any surgical intervention for AMD; - Previous laser photocoagulation or ITV anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) for CNV, diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion, or proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Ocular Exclusion Criteria, Both Eyes: - GA in either eye due to causes other than AMD; - Active uveitis and/or vitritis (grade trace or above) in either eye; - Active, infectious conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, or endophthalmitis in either eye; - Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tear that involves the macula in either eye; - Previous participation in interventional clinical trials for GA or dry AMD, except for vitamins and minerals, regardless of the route of administration (i.e., ocular or systemic) within the last 6 months.
