Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Danicopan
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: Danicopan: 100 mg - Participants will receive danicopan 100 mg bid during the masked Treatment Period. Once the optimal dose is identified, participants who have at least 52 weeks of treatment will be switched to the optimal dose for the remainder of the study.

Experimental: Danicopan: 200 mg - Participants will receive danicopan 200 mg bid during the masked Treatment Period. Once the optimal dose is identified, participants who have at least 52 weeks of treatment will be switched to the optimal dose for the remainder of the study.

Experimental: Danicopan: 400 mg - Participants will receive danicopan 400 mg qd during the masked Treatment Period. Once the optimal dose is identified, participants who have at least 52 weeks of treatment will be switched to the optimal dose for the remainder of the study.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo - Participants will receive matching placebo and will be re-randomized to one of the active treatment groups at Week 52, or to the optimal dose, if already identified.

Key exclusion criteria
- GA in the study eye due to cause other than AMD.

- Have previously received intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor
injections in study eye for intraocular vascular disease.

- Have previously received any stem cell/gene therapy for any ophthalmological condition
in either eye.

- Use of any investigational medicinal product (ie, participation in interventional
clinical studies for any ophthalmic indications) or use of any regulatory approved
treatment for GA in the study eye regardless of route of administration within the
last 3 months or 5 half-lives of the last dose of the investigational or commercial
product (whichever is longer).

- Presence of active ocular diseases in the study eye that in the opinion of the
Investigator compromises or confounds visual function or interferes with study
assessments.

- Known or suspected complement deficiency.

- History or presence of any medical or psychological condition that, in the opinion of
the Principal Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for the study.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a dose finding study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics
of danicopan in participants with GA secondary to AMD. The study consists of a Screening
Period of up to 6 weeks, a 104-week masked Treatment Period, followed by a 30-day Follow-up
after the last dose. This study will have 4 treatments arms: 100 milligrams (mg) twice daily
(bid), 200 mg bid, 400 mg once daily (qd), and matching placebo.
