MW02 vs Pegaptanib (Macugen)
Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

MW02
Developed by Mabwell (Shanghai) Bioscience Co., Ltd.
NCT05297292 · Phase 2/3 · status unknown
This is a randomized, quadruple-blind, active-controlled Phase 2/3 trial with a clinically meaningful primary endpoint (change in visual acuity), but no results have been posted yet, so the treatment effect versus the active comparator is still unknown.
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).
