Trial summary

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety of AdGVPEDF.11D when given to patients with "wet" age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AdGVPEDF.11D is a replication deficient (E1, E3 and E4 deleted) adenovirus vector containing the gene for the PEDF (pigment epithelium-derived factor) protein. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 50 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age greater than or equal to 50 years;
  • Severe neovascular AMD in at least one eye responsible for a best corrected vision of 20/200 or worse in the study eye (if both eyes have neovascular AMD and equal visual acuity scores, the study eye will be determined by the investigator);
  • Best corrected visual acuity in the fellow eye must be equal to or better than the study eye;
  • Fluorescein angiography of the study eye must show evidence of a leaking subfoveal choroidal neovascular lesion. The subfoveal component must consist of CNV (choroidal neovascularization), blood or fibrosis. The total size of the lesion must be ≤12 MPS disc areas. The presence of a leaking subfoveal choroidal neovascular lesion will be evaluated by the investigator at the clinical site to determine patients' eligibility.
  • Must not be candidates for (including patients who have had treatment with either modality in the past and are no longer candidates) or must have refused treatment with subfoveal laser photocoagulation or PDT (photodynamic therapy);
  • Informed consent;
  • Able to comply with protocol requirements including follow-up visits.

Who cannot join

  • Liver enzymes > 2 x ULN (ALT, AST, bilirubin);
  • Clinical evidence of active infection of any type, including adenovirus, hepatitis A, B, or C virus or HIV virus;
  • Other treatment for AMD in the study eye within the last twelve weeks prior to Day 1;
  • Other experimental medications within the last four weeks prior to Day 1;
  • Significant retinal disease other than neovascular AMD, such as diabetic retinopathy or retinal vascular occlusion;
  • Significant non-retinal disease such as ocular atrophy;
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Cataract or other significant media opacity that might compromise examination and photography of the posterior segment;
  • Other causes of choroidal neovascularization such as pathologic myopia ( > 8 diopters), ocular histoplasmosis or angioid streaks;
  • Evidence of inflammation (grade 1 or higher) in the anterior and/or posterior chambers;
  • Cataract surgery or submacular surgery within 3 months;
  • Prior ocular treatment with radiation;
  • Known allergy to fluorescein;
  • Abnormal prothrombin or partial thromboplastin time ( > 1.5 X ULN) or anticoagulant therapy that cannot be withheld for treatment.

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Phase I, Single Administration, Dose- Escalation Study of AdGVPEDF.11D in Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety of AdGVPEDF.11D when given to patients with "wet" age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AdGVPEDF.11D is a replication deficient (E1, E3 and E4 deleted) adenovirus vector containing the gene for the PEDF (pigment epithelium-derived factor) protein. PEDF is a protein that naturally exists in the human eye, but whose levels are altered in diseases characterized by ocular neovascularization like AMD. The PEDF protein is known to have anti-angiogenic effects or, in other words, it has the ability to inhibit growth of new blood vessels.

AdGVPEDF.11D will be delivered once via intravitreal injection into one eye. The injected eye will be the eye with the worst visual acuity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AdGVPEDF.11D in people with Macular Degeneration, run by GenVec at 9 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 7 inclusion and 13 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 12 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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 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 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?
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 May 2011.
