a study to compare ly09004 and eylea in the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration（wamd）

Conditions: Age Related Macular Degeneration

Summary: a randomized, double-blind, parallel controlled, multicenter clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of ly09004 and eylea in the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration（wamd)

this is a randomized, double-blind, parallel controlled, multicenter clinical trial. the primary objective is to assess the efficacy similarity of ly09004 and eylea in the treatment of w-amd. the secondary objective is to assess the safety similarity of ly09004 and eylea in the treatment of w-amd.

5. any history of the following ophthalmic surgery in the study eye: vitrectomy, anti-glaucoma surgery, macular transposition; 6. any evidence of external eye surgery within 1 month or cataract surgery within 3 months before screening in the study eye; 7. any the following treatment in the study eye within 3 months before screening: verteporfin photodynamic therapy (pdt), macular laser photocoagulation, transpupillary thermotherapy (ttt), and other operations for the treatment of amd; 8. aphakia (excluding intraocular lens) or posterior lens capsule rupture (except for yag laser posterior capsulotomy after intraocular lens implantation more than 1 month from screening) in the study; 9. afferent pupil defect (apd) in the study eye; 10. patients have received anti-vegf(vascular endothelial growth factor ) treatment within 6 months before screening, such as ranibizumab, bevacizumab, conbercept, etc in any eye or the whole body; 11. use of intraocular or systemic corticosteroids within 3 months before screening, or use of periocular corticosteroids within 1 month; 12. any active intraocular or periocular infection (for example: blepharitis, infectious conjunctivitis, keratitis) in either eye; 13. any history of glaucoma; 14. any evidence of pseudocapsular exfoliation syndrome in either eye; 15. a history of vitreous hemorrhage within 3 months before screening in either eye; 16. any systemic drug (currently in use or may need to use) could cause lens toxicity or retinal toxicity, such as desferrioxamine, chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine, tamoxifen, phenothiazine, ethambutol, etc.; 17. history of allergy to the therapeutic or diagnostic drugs used in the research protocol, including allergies to the test articles; 18. diabetic subjects with diabetic retinopathy or glycosylated hemoglobin\> 9%; 19. any history of surgery within 1 month before screening, and/or any currently unhealed wounds, ulcers, fractures, etc.; 20. any infectious disease requiring systemic treatment (oral, intramuscular or intravenous) during screening; 21. history of a medical condition, including myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, coronary revascularization, cerebrovascular accidents (including tia), other thromboembolic diseases (such as thromboembolic angiitis, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, portal vein thrombosis, etc.), new york heart association (nyha) grade ≥ grade ii cardiac insufficiency, severely unstable ventricular arrhythmia within 6 months before screening; 22. history of diffuse intravascular coagulation and obvious bleeding tendency (such as hemoptysis, hematemesis, severe purpura, etc.) within 3 months before screening, or use of anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy other than aspirin/nsaids within 14 days before screening; 23. subjects with systemic immune diseases; 24. poorly-controlled blood pressure (defined as: after receiving antihypertensive drugs, the subject's systolic value ≥160 mmhg or diastolic value ≥100 mmhg at seat); 25. any uncontrollable clinical disease (such as serious mental, respiratory and other system diseases and malignant tumors); 26. abnormal liver and kidney function (alt, ast≥2.5 times the upper limit of normal; total bilirubin≥1.5 times the upper limit of normal; crea, urea/urea nitrogen≥1.2 times the upper limit of normal); 27. abnormal blood coagulation function (prothrombin time\> upper limit of normal value 3 seconds or activated partial thromboplastin time\> upper limit of normal value 10 seconds); 28. positive hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag), and peripheral blood hepatitis b virus deoxyribonucleic acid (hbv dna) titer test ≥ 1 × 103 copies/ml; under the condition of positive hbsag with peripheral blood hbv dna titer test \<1x 103 copies/ml, if the investigator judges that chronic hepatitis b is stable and will not increase the risk of the subject, the subject is eligible for selection; 29. positive hepatitis c virus (hcv) antibody, treponema pallidum antibody, and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) antibody; 30. nursing (lactating) women; 31. participation in clinical trials of any drug (excluding vitamins and minerals) within 3 months before screening;
