A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Faricimab in Patients With Choroidal Neovascularization Secondary to Pathologic Myopia

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Treatment-naïve choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to myopia

2. Diagnosis of active myopic CNV in the study eye:

3. Presence of high myopia, worse than -6 diopters of spherical equivalence

4. Antero-posterior elongation measurement greater than or equal to 26.0 mm

5. Presence of posterior changes compatible with pathologic myopia (e.g.,tessellated fundus, lacquer cracks, etc.)

6. Presence of active leakage from CNV on FFA (determined by Central ReadingCentre [CRC])

7. Presence of intraretinal or subretinal fluid or increase of CST on OCT (determined by CRC)

8. BCVA of 78 to 24 letters, inclusive (20/32 to 20/320 approximate Snellenequivalent), using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocolon Day 1

9. Overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation that includes medical history,physical examination, and laboratory tests

10. Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the Investigator's judgment

11. Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria apply

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Any major illness or major surgical procedure within 1 month before screening

2. Pregnancy or breastfeeding, or intention to become pregnant during the study orwithin 3 months after the final study treatment administration

3. Uncontrolled blood pressure (systolic >180 millimetres of mercury [mmHg], diastolic >100 mmHg)

4. Stroke (cerebral vascular accident) or myocardial infarction within 6 months priorto Day 1

5. History of systemic or ocular disease that would contraindicate treatment with theinvestigational drug or comparator

6. Uncontrolled glaucoma in study eye

7. Any prior or concomitant treatment for CNV or vitreomacular-interface abnormalities,including, but not restricted to, intravitreal, periocular or laser interventions instudy eye

8. Prior or concomitant periocular or intravitreal pharmacological treatment, includinganti-VEGF medication, for other retinal diseases (e.g. geography atrophy, nAMD, DMEetc.) in study eye

9. Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria apply
