VIEW 1 and VIEW 2 Study
Designs
Two multicenter, double-masked clinical studies in which patients with Wet AMD (N=2412; age range: 49-99 years, with a mean of 76 years) were randomized to receive: 1) EYLEA 2 mg Q8 following 3 initial monthly doses; 2) EYLEA 2 mg Q4; 3) EYLEA 0.5 mg Q4; or 4) ranibizumab 0.5 mg Q4. Protocol-specified visits occurred every 28 (±3) days.3
In both studies, the primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with Wet AMD who maintained vision, defined as losing <15 letters of visual acuity at Week 52, compared with baseline.3
Between Week 52 and Week 96, all patients received the same study drug and dosage strength as in the first 52 weeks but continued on a
regimen where dosing could be extended up to Q12, based on monthly investigator assessments of prespecified visual and anatomic outcomes.
There was no active control comparison group that received a fixed dosing regimen in Year 2. Patients were re-treated if ≥1 of the following
criteria were met: 1) loss of ≥5 letters of visual acuity from best previous score with recurrent fluid on TD-OCT; 2) new or persistent fluid (any new
or unchanged cystic retinal edema and/or subretinal fluid) on TD-OCT; 3) new or persistent leakage on fluorescein angiography; 4) new macular hemorrhage; 5) new-onset classic neovascularization; 6) increase in CST of ≥100 μm (cystic retinal edema and/or subretinal fluid meeting a
specific quantitative thickening threshold), as measured by TD-OCT, compared with lowest previous value; 7) time lapse of ≥12 weeks since
previous injection.4
Efficacy endpoints evaluated after Week 52 were exploratory and included the proportion of patients maintaining visual acuity, the mean change
in BCVA from baseline, and the proportion of patients gaining ≥15 letters.4
BCVA, best-corrected visual acuity; CST, central subfield thickness; Q4, every 4 weeks; Q8, every 8 weeks; Q12, every 12 weeks; TD-OCT, time domain–optical coherence tomography.
