Trial summary

This study will investigate the use of anecortave acetate injection to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in corneal transplant recipients who are experiencing steroid-associated pressure control problems. Alternative methods of IOP control have been shown to entail serious risks. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Compassionate Use of Anecortave Acetate: Clinical Protocol for the Treatment of Corticosteroid-induced Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Increases After Corneal Transplantation

This study will investigate the use of anecortave acetate injection to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in corneal transplant recipients who are experiencing steroid-associated pressure control problems. Alternative methods of IOP control have been shown to entail serious risks. For example, reduction of topical steroids increases the risk of graft rejection, and use of glaucoma medications or glaucoma surgery increases the risk of graft failure. This study is designed to have sufficient power to detect whether a single injection can induce a clinically significant IOP reduction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraocular Pressure Within Normal Limits (<24 mm Hg)

    Intraocular pressure was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing anecortave acetate and 30 mg anecortave acetate in people with Transplant and Intraocular Pressure, run by Cornea Research Foundation of America 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 14 Aug 2018. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Nov 2010). 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?

Intraocular Pressure Within Normal Limits (<24 mm Hg) (time frame: 1 month). 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 14 Aug 2018.
