    Review of Compaqcept's overseas clinical layout

    Based on a large amount of clinical trial data in China, Kanghong Pharmaceutical submitted a clinical application to the US FDA for the first time in 2016
    .


    In September 016, the US FDA approved the direct development of a phase III clinical trial of Conbercept ophthalmic injection for the treatment of wAMD indications.


           In November 2017, Kang Hong hired the professional CRO company INC Research to be responsible for the full implementation of the trial on a global scale

    S.
    FDA on the special program review of clinical trials, and agreed to directly enter the global phase III clinical trial of Conbercept

           As a global public health emergency, the new crown epidemic has caused great difficulties and impacts on Conbercept's overseas clinical research.
    Factors including various control measures introduced by various countries have caused a large number of subjects to fall off and lose follow-up.
    , Super-windows, the closure of a large number of research centers and visit restrictions have also made on-site clinical quality inspections and audits extremely difficult, and the project implementation has started a comprehensive battle

           At present, there is no universal assessment and correction method for the epidemic situation, and the significant impact on the PANDA trial cannot be fully evaluated.
    The PANDA trial failed to achieve the expected goal.
    Considering the clinical benefits of the tested patients, the continued advancement of the PANDA trial has been unable to obtain registration.
