About this study

Official title: A Phase II Randomized, Dose-Ranging, Double-Masked, Multi-Center Trial, in Parallel Groups, Determining Safety, Efficacy and PK of Intravitreous Injections of Pegaptanib Sodium Compared to Sham Injection for 30 Weeks in Patients With Recent Vision Loss Due to Macular Edema Secondary to CRVO

Eyetech Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Pfizer, Inc. are studying an investigational drug, MacugenTM, for the possible treatment of CRVO. An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This investigational drug may slow the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye and may reduce tissue swelling in the eye.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of a Macugen™ injection to a "pretend" injection. In addition, the purpose of this study is to measure the action of the study drug in the body over a period of time and to check for the presence of the study drug in your blood (called pharmacokinetics or PK).

This study will involve approximately 90 people. People who decide to participate will have an equal chance (1 in 3) to receive one of three study injections, two of which are Macugen™ and one of which is a "pretend" injection.

Read the detailed description

This study will consist of 3 phases: a screening phase which will last up to two weeks, a confirmation phase which will last one day, and a randomization phase (the patient will be assigned by chance to a study group in this phase) which will last approximately 52 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pegaptanib sodium in people with Retinal Vein Occlusion, run by Eyetech Pharmaceuticals at 35 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00088283, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jan 2007; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
