About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Dose Ranging Study to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability of Talaporfin Sodium (LS11) Photodynamic Therapy in Subjects With Advanced Age-Related Macular Disease

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of Talaporfin Sodium (LS11) Photodynamic Therapy in patients with late stage Age-Related Macular Disease (AMD).

Read the detailed description

This Phase 1 study is a safety and tolerability investigation of LS11 photodynamic therapy in subjects with persistent leaking neovascular membranes in patients with AMD who have a visual acuity of 20/200 or less. This is a sequential group dose escalation trial with the cohorts defined by increasing the light dose. Within each light-dose cohort, three (3) subjects will be treated at a drug dose of 0.2 mg/kg or 0.5 mg/kg.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Talaporfin Sodium (LS11) Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in people with Macular Degeneration and Choroidal Neovascularization, run by Light Sciences LLC at 1 site 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 8 inclusion and 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cessation of leakage from choroidal neovascularization (CNV) of subjects with late stage AMD. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 Mar 2010.
