What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, active-comparator-controlled, Phase 3 study in a broad participant population (treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced) with neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The study will evaluate a single intravitreal (IVT) injection of Ixo-vec compared to intravitreal aflibercept (active comparator). The primary endpoint of this study is the mean change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of Ixo-vec compared to an active comparator measured as an average at Weeks 52 and 56.

Safety, tolerability, and efficacy will be evaluated throughout the study.
