A Phase 2, Randomized Placebo-Controlled, Double-Masked Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of Multiple Doses of IONIS-FB-LRx, an Antisense Inhibitor of Complement Factor B, in Patients With Geographic Atrophy Secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of IONIS-FB-LRx on the rate of change of
the area of geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
measured by fundus autofluorescence (FAF).

The study will assess the rate of change of the area of GA secondary to AMD by measuring FAF
in up to 330 participants with GA due to AMD being treated with IONIS-FB-LRx. The study is a
Phase 2, double-masked, randomized, stratified, placebo-controlled study conducted at
multiple centers. It is an adaptive design in which three dose levels will be evaluated in a
subset of patients (Stage 1) and, following an interim analysis, the number of patients in
two of the dose cohorts will be expanded (Stage 2).

Inclusion Criteria:

- Females must be non-pregnant and non-lactating, and either surgically sterile or
post-menopausal.

- Vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae received at
least 2 weeks prior to first dose of investigational product

- Well-demarcated geographic atrophy (GA) due to AMD

- Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) letter score of 35 letters (approx. 20/200 Snellen
equivalent) or better on the ETDRS chart

- Must have clear ocular media and adequate pupillary dilation in the study eye to
permit high-quality fundus imaging

Exclusion Criteria:

- Clinically-significant abnormalities in medical history

- A lack of full recovery from any infection for at least 14 days prior to the Study
Drug administration

- Chronic treatment with steroids, including topically or intravitreally administered

- History or presence of diabetic retinopathy or diabetic macular edema (DME)

- History or presence of a disease other than AMD that could affect vision or safety
assessments

- Prior treatment with another investigational drug, biological agent, or device

- Other protocol-specified inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
