Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: SB15 (Proposed aflibercept biosimilar)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects randomized into SB15 group will receive SB15 2 mg (0.05 mL) via intravitreal injection every 4 weeks for the first 3 months, followed by 2 mg (0.05 mL) once every 8 weeks until Week 48.
Group II: Eylea (Aflibercept)Active Control2 Interventions
Subjects randomized into Eylea group will receive Eylea 2 mg (0.05 mL) via intravitreal injection every 4 weeks for the first 3 months, followed by 2 mg (0.05 mL) once every 8 weeks until Week 48. At Week 32, subjects in Eylea group will re-randomized into SB15 or Eylea group. After re-randomization, subjects transited to SB15 group will receive SB15 2 mg (0.05 mL) once every 8 weeks until Week 48 and subjects remaining in Eylea group will continue to receive Eylea 2 mg (0.05 mL) once every 8 weeks until Week 48.
