Efficacy, Safety and Immunogenicity of Sun’s Ranibizumab Biosimilar in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A Phase 3, Double-Blind Comparative Study

The study aimed to evaluate comparability in terms of efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of Sun’s ranibizumab biosimilar with reference ranibizumab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). This prospective, randomised, double-blind, two-group, parallel-arm, multicentre, phase 3 comparative study included patients with nAMD ≥ 50 years, randomised (in a 2:1 ratio) in a double-blind manner to receive 0.5 mg (0.05 mL) intravitreal injection of either Sun’s ranibizumab or reference ranibizumab in the study eye every 4 weeks until week 16 (total of four doses). Primary endpoint results demonstrated equivalence in the proportion of patients who lost fewer than 15 letters from baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) to the end of week 16 (99
