Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Faricimab
Treatment: Drugs - Ranibizumab
Treatment: Surgery - Sham Procedure

Experimental: Arm A: Faricimab - All participants randomly assigned to Arm A will receive faricimab 6 mg at Day 1. Once every 4 weeks (Q4W) after Day 1, participants will receive treatment with faricimab on a pro re nata (PRN) basis dependent on prespecified retreatment criteria.

Active comparator: Arm B: Ranibizumab - All participants randomly assigned to Arm B will receive ranibizumab 0.5 mg at Day 1. Once every 4 weeks (Q4W) after Day 1, participants will receive treatment with ranibizumab on a pro re nata (PRN) basis dependent on prespecified retreatment criteria.


Treatment: Drugs: Faricimab
Faricimab 6 mg intravitreal (IVT) injection on Day 1 with Q4W PRN treatment thereafter to Week 44. At Week 48, participants will attend a follow-up visit.

Treatment: Drugs: Ranibizumab
Ranibizumab 0.5 mg intravitreal (IVT) injection on Day 1 with Q4W PRN treatment thereafter to Week 44. At Week 48, participants will attend a follow-up visit.

Treatment: Surgery: Sham Procedure
The sham is a procedure that mimics an intravitreal (IVT) injection, but involves the blunt end of an empty syringe (without a needle) being pressed against the anesthetized eye. Participants will undergo the sham procedure at study visits where no study drug is to be administered, in order to maintain masking.
