The Efficacy of Home OCT Supported Management in Patients Diagnosed With Neovascular-AMD and Undergoing a Drug Switch to Faricimab

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye disease that can lead to vision loss. The neovascular ("wet") form of AMD is usually treated with repeated injections into the eye. However, some patients do not respond well to their current treatment and need to switch to a different medication. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether using a home optical coherence tomography (Home OCT) device can improve the management of patients with neovascular AMD who are switching to faricimab treatment after an insufficient response to previous therapy. The Home OCT device allows participants to perform retinal scans at home several times a week. These scans are securely transmitted to the study team, allowing physicians to monitor changes in the retina more frequently than with routine clinic visits alone. Participants will continue to receive the standard medical care determined by their treating retina specialist, including clinic visits, eye examinations, retinal imaging, and intravitreal injections. The Home OCT device will provide additional information to help detect changes in disease activity between clinic visits. If the scans suggest worsening of the condition, participants may be asked to return for an earlier evaluation. The study aims to determine whether frequent home monitoring can identify treatment response sooner and support more personalized treatment decisions. The study will also collect information on the effectiveness of faricimab in routine clinical practice after switching from previous anti-VEGF therapy.

Phase II Study of Subretinal JWK001 for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

This is a Phase II, randomized, open-label, active-controlled study designed to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of a single subretinal administration of JWK001 at different dose levels in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Ixoberogene Soroparvovec (Ixo-vec) Contralateral Dosing Study in Participants With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, effectiveness and durability of a gene therapy called Ixo-vec (Ixoberogene soroparvovec) when administered to the contralateral (second) eye of adult participants (≥ 50 years of age) who have been diagnosed with bilateral neovascular (wet) age related macular degeneration (nAMD). The study will enroll adults with nAMD in both eyes, including participants who previously received Ixo-vec treatment in one (initial) eye and/or participants who will receive Ixo-vec treatment for the first time. This study focuses on how the treatment works when both eyes are treated at different times and how effective and long-lasting Ixo-vec treatment is in the second (contralateral) eye. Participants will receive a single administration of Ixo-vec in the contralateral eye and will be followed for approximately 5 years to evaluate safety, efficacy and durability of contralateral treatment. Secondary objectives include assessments that will evaluate clinical activity, including visual and anatomic outcomes, as well as the need for supplemental anti-VEGF therapy. The study is intended to provide additional information on the safety, tolerability, and use of Ixo-vec in bilateral treatment.
