Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of intravitreal (ITV) injections of galegenimab (FHTR2163) administered every 4 weeks (Q4W) or every 8 weeks (Q8W) in participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who completed the parent study (NCT03972709/GR40973).

Masking description

The study will be masked until database lock of the parent study (NCT03972709/GR40973). After the masked period, the study will follow an open-label design. The Outcome Assessor is masked for BCVA assessments.

Inclusion criteria

* Completed the parent study (NCT03972709/GR40973) through the Week 76 visit without early treatment discontinuation * Sufficiently clear ocular media, adequate pupillary dilation, and fixation to permit acceptable fundus imaging. Ocular Inclusion Criteria: Study Eye - If the study eye best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) letter score is ≥69 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/40 or better), the non-study eye must have a BCVA letter score of ≥44 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/125 or better) on visit Day 1 of the open label extension (OLE)/Week 76 of parent study. Ocular Inclusion Criteria: Non-Study Eye \- The non-study eye must have a BCVA letter score of ≥44 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/125 or better) if the study eye BCVA letter score is ≥69 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/40 or better) on visit Day 1 OLE/Week 76 of parent study.

Ocular AEs are the events which are localized in the ocular region.

Outcome results

Primary

Percentage of Participants With Ocular Adverse Events

An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether considered related to the medicinal product, any new disease or exacerbation of an existing disease, recurrence of an intermittent medical condition, or any deterioration in a laboratory value or other clinical test. Ocular AEs are the events which are localized in the ocular region.

Time frame: From baseline up to Week 104

Population: Safety analysis population included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug.
