1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose efdamrofusp alfa (IBI302, targeting VEGF and complement C3b/4b) with personalized dosing intervals in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Design: A multicenter, randomized, double-masked, active-controlled, noninferiority phase II trial. Participants: A total of 132 anti-VEGF naïve or previously treated participants with nAMD were enrolled. Methods: Eligible participants were randomized (1:1:1) to receive IBI302 6.4 mg, IBI302 8.0 mg, or aflibercept 2.0 mg. Efdamrofusp alfa groups were dosed every 8 weeks (Q8W) or every 12 weeks (Q12W), based on disease activity assessment at week 20, after 4 monthly injections. The aflibercept 2.0-mg group was dosed Q8W, after 3 monthly injections. Main Outcome Measures: The primary endpoint was the mean change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline to week 40. The prespecified noninferiority margin was 4 letters. Results: The least squares mean (standard error) changes in BCVA from baseline to week 40 were +10.5 (1.5) letters with IBI302 6.4 mg, +9.2 (1.5) letters with IBI302 8.0 mg, and +9.7 (1.5) letters with aflibercept 2.0 mg. The estimated differences were +0.8 (80% confidence interval: -1.9 to 3.6, noninferiority test: P = 0.0115) for IBI302 6.4 mg versus aflibercept 2.0 mg and -0.5 (-3.3 to 2.2, noninferiority test: P = 0.0123) for IBI302 8.0 mg versus aflibercept 2.0 mg. Over 80% of participants in IBI302 groups were dosed Q12W after week 20 and maintained their regimens until the end of study. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in the study eye were reported in 36.4% of participants receiving IBI302 6.4 mg, 37.8% receiving IBI302 8.0 mg, and 23.3% receiving aflibercept 2.0 mg. The most common ocular TEAE was conjunctival hemorrhage (9.1% for 6.4 mg and 11.1% for 8.0 mg) in both IBI302 groups, whereas cataract (7.0%) was the most frequent ocular TEAE in the aflibercept 2.0-mg group. Conclusions: Efdamrofusp alfa 6.4 and 8.0 mg dosed up to Q12W demonstrated noninferior visual gain to aflibercept 2.0 mg Q8W. Moreover, IBI302 groups were well tolerated. These findings suggested that high-dose IBI302 with extended dosing intervals could provide sustained visual benefits for patients with nAMD.
