About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b Multi-Center, Open-Label and Randomized Study of iSONEP (Sonepcizumab/LT1009) Administered as Intravitreous Injections to Subjects With PED Secondary to Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration or Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy

LT1009-Oph-002 is a Phase 1b study designed to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of iSONEP following one, two or three injections of iSONEP, as needed, for the treatment of Pigment Epithelial Detachment (PED) secondary to PED Secondary to Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) or Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV).

Read the detailed description

Sixteen (16) subjects per dose group who have received a minimum of 3 and no more than 7 doses of an anti-VEGF agent (i.e., Lucentis or Avastin), and whose PED has not decreased by greater than 25% in height despite therapy, will be enrolled for a total of 32 subjects. The presence of PED diagnosed by the Investigator will be confirmed by SDOCT, ICG and FA by a digital imaging reading center prior to subject enrollment. The ability of iSONEP to induce regression of persistent PED in subjects with exudative AMD or PCV despite previous treatment with an anti-VEGF agent will be evaluated.

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

  • iSONEP (sonepcizumab/LT1009)Drug

    Up to 3 doses of iSONEP given monthly will be administered as intravitreous injections in the ophthalmologist's office.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate safety and tolerability following one, two or three intravitreous injections of iSONEP

    The number of participants with adverse events; changes in electrocardiogram parameters, diastolic and systolic blood pressure, pulse, temperature and intraocular pressure from baseline to the end of the study.

    Measured: 8 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate various efficacy outcomes throughout the study

    • Changes in subretinal and intraretinal fluid, in retinal thickness and in size and height of PED compared with baseline at Days 30, 45, 60 and 90
    • Changes in CNV lesion area from baseline
    • Time course to regression of PED; proportion of subjects with complete resolution of PED following a single, second or third IVT iSONEP injection
    • Changes in VA; proportion of eyes gaining > or = 0, 5, 10 and 15 letters on ETDRS
    • Proportion of subjects with an improvement from baseline in VFQ-25 overall composite score to Day 60, Month 4 and Month 8
    • Time to re-treatment with anti-VEGF therapy

    Measured: 8 months

  2. To evaluate the immunogenicity (antibody response) of iSONEP following multiple intravitreous injections

    Production and/or changes in antibody concentration to iSONEP from baseline to the end of the study

    Measured: 8 months

  3. To characterize the systemic pharmacokinetic profile of iSONEP

    For the 2.0 mg dose of iSONEP

    • Maximum plasma concentration
    • Area under the concentration versus time curve
    • Terminal half-life
    • Terminal elimination constant
    • Time of maximum concentration

    Measured: 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing iSONEP (sonepcizumab/LT1009) in people with Pigment Epithelial Detachment, run by Lpath, Inc. at 5 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 6 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 23 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor decision; not safety related). 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?

To evaluate safety and tolerability following one, two or three intravitreous injections of iSONEP (time frame: 8 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 23 Apr 2013.
