About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Masked, Parallel Group, Multi-Center, Dose Ranging Pilot Study of Denufosol Tetrasodium (INS37217) Intravitreal Injection in Subjects With Uveitis Associated Macular Edema

The purpose of this study is to determine whether denufosol tetrasodium (INS37217) Intravitreal Injection is well tolerated and has the potential to treat uveitis associated macular edema.

Read the detailed description

Denufosol tetrasodium (INS37217) Intravitreal Injection may provide clinical benefit in treatment of uveitis associated macular edema (UME) by reducing retinal thickness as measured by OCT and possibly enabling recovery of vision loss associated with UME. Denufosol tetrasodium may also reverse the fluid accumulation of UME.

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 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?

Evaluate the safety and tolerability of denufosol in subjects presenting with uveitis associated macular edema.. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Nov 2016.
