Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: KSI-301 (Arm A)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Intravitreal injection of KSI-301 (5 mg) at Day 1, Week 4, and once every 8 weeks through Week 20 followed by an individualized dosing regimen of Intravitreal injection of KSI-301 (5 mg) from Week 24 to Week 44. In the Extension Phase, participants randomized to KSI-301 (5 mg) in the Primary Study will continue to receive KSI-301 (5 mg) based on protocol-defined disease activity criteria.
Group II: Aflibercept (Arm B)Active Control2 Interventions
Intravitreal injection of aflibercept (2 mg) once every 4 through Week 20 followed by an individualized dosing regimen of Intravitreal injection of Aflibercept (2 mg) once every 4 weeks from Week 24 to Week 44.
