About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Open Label Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Profile of Single and Repeated Doses of JSM6427 Following Administration by Intravitreal Injection in Patients With Neovascular AMD

The purpose of this study is to determine the way and rate that the study medication, JSM6427 a potent, highly specific integrin α5β1-antagonist is absorbed, broken-down and eliminated from the body when it is given as a single dosage strength by injection into the eye. Repeated dosages will also be given to determine the highest safe dose.

Read the detailed description

In non-clinical models, JSM6427 can lead to the inhibition and regression of choroidal neovascularization, making α5β1 an attractive target for therapeutic strategies directed at pathological angiogenesis. JSM6427 may also interfere with other key processes in the pathogenesis of AMD, namely inflammation and fibrosis. Further, non-clinical data show that JSM6427 inhibits scarring and inflammation. Thus, JSM6427 may target multiple important pathways in the pathogenesis of neovascular AMD.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • JSM6427Drug

    Weekly intravitreal injections for up to 4 weeks, first dose strength is one dose below the MTD. Dose strength concentrations: 1.5 mg/ml, 3 mg/ml, 7.5 mg/ml 04 15 mg/ml.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and Tolerability to determine the MTD

    Measured: 2 weeks after each dose

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the systemic pharmacokinetics of JSM6427 following single and repeat doses by intravitreal injection and to assess exploratory efficacy potential of JSM6427

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JSM6427 in people with Macular Degeneration, run by Jerini Ophthalmic 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 9 inclusion and 15 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 21 Sep 2010. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and Tolerability to determine the MTD (time frame: 2 weeks after each dose). 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 21 Sep 2010.
