Brief summary: This study is a multi-center, open, and phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BAT5906 injection in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration. The results of the BAT5906 Phase I study show that it is safe from 0.3-4.0 mg, and that higher doses (2.5 mg and 4 mg) may be substituted for the duration of maintenance efficacy; drugs with the same target (such as brolucizumab and Abecip) have also been found in clinical studies High doses can extend the interval and reduce the frequency of administration. Therefore, in this study, two doses with better safety and efficacy were selected, once every 4 weeks, followed by 3 consecutive injections for treatment as needed, and preliminary exploration of the best clinical effective dose and replacement frequency


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Only the following criteria are met:

  1. The patient or his legal representative authorized by the patient signs the informed consent, fully understands the test content, process and possible adverse reactions, and is willing to follow up within the time specified in the test;
  2. Age 50-85 years old (including boundary value), male or female;
  3. The patient diagnosed with active choroidal neovascularization (CNV) disease secondary to wet age-related macular degeneration is confirmed by the reading center during screening;
  4. The total area of research eye lesions ≤ 30mm2 (12 optic disc areas), confirmed by the reading center before random enrollment;
  5. At the time of screening and baseline, the BCVA of the study eye was 73-24 letters (using the ETDRS visual acuity table, including the boundary value) (equivalent to the snellen visual acuity score of the study eye of 20/40 to 20/400);
  6. At the time of screening and baseline, the contralateral eye BCVA ≥ 34 letters (using the ETDRS visual acuity table, which is equivalent to snellen vision ≥ 20/200). For the subjects in the PK group, the investigator must judge that the contralateral eye is expected to be 3 No anti-VEGF treatment is required within a month.
