KSI-301
Developed by Kodiak Sciences Inc.
NCT04964089 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, triple-masked, active-controlled trial with 276 participants receiving KSI-301 and 281 receiving aflibercept. The hard clinical primary endpoint, change in best-corrected visual acuity, met the prespecified non-inferiority criterion: the adjusted difference was -2.1 ETDRS letters (95% CI -3.88 to -0.29; p=0.0083).
Pegaptanib (Macugen)
Marketed by Pfizer
NCT01100307 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, double-masked, sham-controlled phase 3 trial with 243 participants and a hard clinical visual-acuity endpoint. The primary endpoint was met: 25 of 123 participants receiving pegaptanib versus 6 of 120 receiving sham achieved at least a 10-letter improvement at week 24 (p=0.0003).
