Summary

This trialcompares the effects of two treatments for wet age-related macular degeneration.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 50 or older with newly diagnosed, untreated wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) affecting the central part of their retina. Participants must have a certain level of vision clarity and be able to complete all study visits. They cannot join if they've had recent eye surgery, uncontrolled diseases like high blood pressure or diabetes, severe nearsightedness, or are pregnant/breastfeeding without using effective contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing HLX04-O against ranibizumab, both administered through an injection into the eye to treat wAMD. The goal is to compare how well each treatment works and their safety profiles in patients who have this condition.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from treatments like HLX04-O and ranibizumab can include redness or discomfort at the injection site in the eye, increased intraocular pressure, inflammation inside the eye, bleeding in the retina area, cataract formation, and possibly others depending on individual reactions.
