Can a new eye injection save vision in wet AMD?
NCT ID NCT03834753
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This clinical trial is testing whether an experimental eye injection called ONS-5010 (bevacizumab) can help preserve vision in people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss. The study will compare ONS-5010 to an existing treatment, ranibizumab, in about 228 participants. The main goal is to see if more people gain significant vision improvement with ONS-5010, while also checking its safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bevacizumab (also called ONS-5010), given as an injection into the eye
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer another treatment option to help preserve vision in people with wet age-related macular degeneration.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, but results are not guaranteed. The treatment may not be as effective as the comparator, and eye injections carry risks like infection or retinal damage.

Inclusion Criteria: * Active primary Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularization lesions secondary to Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the study eye * Best corrected visual acuity of 25-67 letters read (20/50 to 20/320 Snellen equivalent) * Study eye must: * Have active leakage on Fluorescein Angiogram involving the fovea * Have edema involving the fovea * Be free of scarring, fibrosis, or atrophy involving the central foveal zone Exclusion Criteria: * Previous subfoveal focal laser photocoagulation in the study eye * Laser photocoagulation (juxtafoveal or extrafoveal) in the study eye within 1-month preceding randomization * Any concurrent intraocular condition in the study eye that may require medical or surgical intervention or contribute to vision loss within 1 year * Active intraocular inflammation (grade trace or above) in the study eye * Current vitreous haemorrhage in the study eye * Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in the study eye * History of idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis in either eye * Infectious conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, or endophthalmitis in either eye * Uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye (defined as intraocular pressure ≥30 mmHg despite treatment with anti-glaucoma medication) * Premenopausal women not using adequate contraception * Current treatment for active systemic infection * Known allergy to any component of the study drug or history of allergy to fluorescein , not amenable to treatment
