218A Phase 2 Multi center, Randomized, Controlled, Double-Masked Clinical Trial Designed To Evaluate The Safety And Exploratory Efficacy Of Luminate® (Alg-1001) As Compared To Avastin® In The Treatment Of Diabetic Macular Edema
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Luminate® (ALG-1001) as compared to Avastin® in patients with diabetic macular edema
- Stage 1: 120 eligible subjects with DME will be enrolled and randomized to one of 4 treatment groups at an allocation ratio of 1:1:1:1, i.e., one of three doses (1.0 mg, 2.0 mg and 3.0 mg) of Luminate intravitreal injection or Avastin intravitreal injection. Subjects will be followed monthly for 24 weeks (6 months).
Stage 2 (select sites): 75 eligible subjects with DME will be enrolled and randomized to one of 5 treatment groups at an allocation ratio of 1:1:1:1:1; i.e., one of 2 doses of Luminate intravitreal injection or Avastin intravitreal injection (0.5 mg and 1.0 mg). Subjects will be followed monthly for 20 weeks (5 months).
Stage 1- Luminate 1.0 mg intravitreal injection administered at baseline (Day 0), 4 weeks and 8 weeks with prn Luminate injection at week 20 for a total of at least 3 and no more than 4 Luminate injections. Sham injections will be performed at weeks 12 and 16 and may also be performed at week 20 if prn Luminate is not required; sham laser treatment will be administered at baseline and at 16 weeks.
Stage 1 -Luminate 2.0 mg intravitreal injection administered at baseline (Day 0), 4 weeks and 8 weeks with prn Luminate injection at week 20 for a total of at least 3 and no more than 4 Luminate injections. Sham injections will be performed at weeks 12 and 16 and may also be performed at week 20 if prn Luminate is not required; sham laser treatment will be administered at baseline and at 16 weeks.
Stage 1- Luminate 3.0 mg intravitreal injection administered at baseline (Day 0), 4 weeks and 8 weeks with prn Luminate injection at week20 for a total of at least 3 and no more than 4 Luminate injections. Sham injections will be performed at weeks 12 and 16 and may also be performed at week 20 if prn Luminate is not required; sham laser treatment will be administered at baseline and at 16 weeks.
Stage 1- Avastin 1.25 mg intravitreal injection administered at baseline (Day 0), 4 weeks and 8 weeks with prn Avastin injection at weeks 12, 16, or 20 for a total of at least 3 and up to 6 Avastin injections. Sham injections may be performed at weeks 12, 16, and 20 if prn Avastin is not required.
Stage 2 - Week 0 (Baseline): Avastin 1.25 mg IVT Weeks 1, 4 and 8: Luminate 1.0 mg IVT + sham injection Weeks 12 and 16: Sham IVT
Stage 2- Week 0 (Baseline); Avastin 1.25 mg IVT Weeks 1, 4 and 8: Luminate 0.5 mg IVT + sham injection Weeks 12 and 16: Sham IVT
Stage 2 : Week 0 (Baseline): Sham IVT Weeks 1, 4 and 8: Luminate 1.0 mg + Avastin 1.25 mg IVT Weeks 12 and 16: Sham IVT
Stage 2 : Week 0: Sham IVT Weeks 1, 4 and 8: Luminate 0.5 mg IVT + Avastin 1.25 mg IVT Weeks 12 and 16: Sham IVT
Stage 2 : Week 0 (Baseline): Sham IVT Weeks 1, 4 and 8: Avastin 1.25 mg + Sham IVT Weeks 12 and 16: Avastin PRN
Inclusion Criteria: Male or female, 18 years of age or older. Study eye with clinically significant diabetic macular edema (DME) with central subfield thickness ≥ 350µm on spectral domain OCT Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/50 to 20/320 ETDRS equivalent (65 letters to 23 letters) in the study eye, with BCVA decrement primarily attributable to DME. Treatment naïve, i.e., no previous anti-VEGF treatment in the study eye or no anti-VEGF treatment in the 45 days prior to study enrollment. In the investigator's opinion, the subject still has significant intraretinal fluid with room for improvement in both macular edema and BCVA. Intra-Ocular Pressure (IOP) is under control (i.e., IOP ≤ 25 mm in the study eye) and study eye is not receiving any IOP lowering drops. Willing and able to return for all study visits. Able to meet the extensive post-op evaluation regimen. Understands and signs the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: Active proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in the study eye such as NVE, NVD, vitreous hemorrhage, or neovascular glaucoma. Uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic >180 mmHg or > 160 mmHg on 2 consecutive measurements or diastolic > 100 mmHg on optimal medical regimen Screening HgA1c blood test > 10.0 Focal laser photocoagulation or intravitreal/periocular steroids of any type in the study eye within the last 90 days prior to study enrollment.
