Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Key Inclusion Criteria: • Age = 70 years, male or female • Presentation of GA secondary to AMD in at least 1 eye. • Study eye must have the specified VA (range of 84 to 4 letters; 20/20 to 20/800) using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study charts at starting distance of 4 meters. • GA area of 0.5 to 17.76 mm2 (~0.25 to 7 disc area [DA]) per eye measured by FAF • The entire GA lesion must be extrafoveal without foveal involvement Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 330

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Key Exclusion Criteria: • GA in either eye due to cause other than AMD. • Have previously received intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections in study eye. • Have previously received any complement/stem cell/gene therapy for any ophthalmological condition. • Previous participation in interventional clinical studies for treatment of drusen, nascent GA or GA (except vitamins or minerals) irrespective of route of administration (ocular or systemic) in either eye. • Presence of active ocular diseases in either 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 clinically relevant co-morbidities or any uncontrolled conditions. • Hypersensitivity to fluorescein sodium for injection, the investigational drug (danicopan) or any of its excipients. Note: Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply, per protocol.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: This is a dose finding study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of danicopan in participants with GA secondary to AMD.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the effect of danicopan on disease progression utilizing anatomical measures compared to placebo To evaluate the effect of danicopan on disease progression utilizing functional measures compared to placebo To evaluate the PK and PD of danicopan in patients with GA secondary to AMD To evaluate the safety and tolerability of danicopan in patients with GA secondary to AMD;Primary end point(s): Mean rate of change from Baseline at Week 52 in the square root (sqrt) of total GA lesion area (mm/year) in the study eye as measured by fundus autofluorescence (FAF);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 52
