Summary

This trial will compare a new treatment to a sham (fake) treatment in order to see if the new treatment is effective. The primary efficacy will be determined at Week 52, meaning that's how long the trial will last.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD) who have a specific level of vision acuity, measured by the ETDRS BCVA score between 60 and 25. Participants can have had previous treatments for nAMD but must not have other significant eye disorders or any conditions that could affect study participation.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new treatment called OPT-302 in combination with Aflibercept against a sham procedure over two years. The main goal is to see how well it works after one year. Patients are randomly assigned to either get the real treatments or a pretend one without knowing which they're getting.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects were not provided in the information given, but generally, treatments like OPT-302 and Aflibercept may cause eye irritation, discomfort at injection site, changes in vision, increased eye pressure, or inflammation.
