About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib Randomized Open Label Study Between Once-every-two-weeks and Once-every-four-weeks Treatment of CGC-11047 in Patients With CNV Due to Age Related Macular Degeneration

The purpose of this research study is to determine how safe and effective subconjunctival injections of CGC-11047 are in subjects with wet age related macular degeneration at two different dosing intervals.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this research study is to determine how safe and effective subconjunctival injections of CGC-11047 are in subjects with wet age related macular degeneration at two different dosing intervals. Half of the participants in the study will receive CGC-11047 every two weeks and half of the participants in the study will receive CGC-11047 every four weeks. If your doctor determines that you are eligible for the study based on his/her judgement and according to the entry requirements set by the sponsor of the research, you will be randomly assigned (by chance, like the flip of a coin), to receive CGC-11047 every two weeks or every four weeks. Whether you receive drug every two weeks or every four weeks, you will still need to come to the clinic approximately every two weeks for the first three months, and approximately four times after that until it has been at least 12 months since you received your first treatment of study drug.

Two studies (this one and another one) are occurring to test CGC-11047 in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration for the first time. However, this drug (CGC-11047) is being studied in cancer patients at doses much higher than will be given to any subjects in either of these studies. The cancer patients have tolerated the drug well with the exception of one cancer patient who had two reactions to the drug (pancreatitis and hypotension). However, this patient had advanced cancer (non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with a life expectancy of less than 3 months) and received 38X the dose to be administered in this AMD study. Aside from this one patient, there have not been any serious side effects related to the drug.

This study will involve about 100 subjects at about 15 different sites internationally.

The study will take place over 12 months and will include about 12 office visits to the study doctor.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Baseline to 3 Months in Best Corrected Visual Acuity

    Visual acuity was measured with a standard eye exam using the preferred research based eye chart (LogMar chart). On the LogMar chart each letter has a score value of 0.02 log units. LogMAR VA = 0.1 + LogMAR value of the best line read - 0.02 X (number of letters read).

    The outcome measure presented is the difference in LogMAR between baseline and at three months.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Safety of 2-weekly or 4-weekly Administration of CGC-11047

    Measured: 3 months

  2. To Evaluate Possible Suppression and/or Regression of Choroidal Neovascularization

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CGC-11047 in people with Age Related Macular Degeneration, run by Progen Pharmaceuticals at 8 sites in 3 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 16 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 6 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Russia, United States, Mexico. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Baseline to 3 Months in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (time frame: Baseline and 3 months). 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 6 Aug 2012.
