What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in the Area of Geographic Atrophy (GA) Assessed by Color Fundus Photographs (FP) in the Study Eye

    Atrophic age-related macular degeneration (AMD) also called GA is characterized by thinning of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and underlying choriocapillaris, as well as overlying photoreceptors in the macula. GA was evaluated by color FP at the indicated time points: screening, 6 months, 12 months and 18 months. Change from BL: (screening, month 6, 12 or 18 value minus BL value. Note screening occurs prior to BL). Only participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X, X in the category titles). Efficacy Population: all participants in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population who met the protocol defined inclusion criterion for area of GA assessed by color FP in the study eye in at least one visit from screening visit through BL visit, inclusive and had data of area of GA assessed by fundus autofluorescence images in the study eye for at least 75% of the visits (>=14 visits) from post-BL treatment month 2 visit to treatment month 19 visit.

    Measured: Baseline (BL), 6 months, 12 months and 18 months

  2. Number of Participants With Ocular or Non-ocular Adverse Events (AEs) During the Treatment Period

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. It includes:1. Any abnormal laboratory test results or other safety assessments including those that worsen from Baseline, and felt to be clinically significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the Investigator 2.Exacerbation (increase in frequency/intensity) of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition 3. New conditions detected or diagnosed after screening visit 4. Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected interaction/suspected overdose of investigational product or a concomitant medication. AEs were presented as non-ocular and ocular AEs.

    Measured: Up to 21 months

  3. Number of Participants With Ocular or Non-ocular Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During the Treatment Period

    Measured: Up to 21 months

  4. Number of Participants With Vital Signs of Potential Clinical Importance (PCI) During the Treatment Period: Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)

'General' is an assessment time not relative to dosing. HR was defined as: low:< 40 beats per minute (bpm) and high: >100 bpm. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X, X in the category titles). Only categories with at least one PCI value are presented.

Abnormal-clinically significant (CS) ECG measurements are presented at indicated time points: Baseline, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18, early withdrawal and at follow-up visit. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X, X in the category titles).

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18, early withdrawal and at follow-up visit

MRIs were performed at Baseline and before dose 2, before dose 3, before dose 4, before dose 6, before dose 12, before dose 18 and at follow-up. ARIA-edema/effusions (ARIA-E) and ARIA hemosiderin deposition (ARIA-H) events at any visit are reported.

    Measured: Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18 and at early withdrawal

Secondary outcomes (10)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GSK933776 in people with Atrophy, Geographic, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 41 sites in 2 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 5 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 41 sites in United States, Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 May 2017). 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 From Baseline in the Area of Geographic Atrophy (GA) Assessed by Color Fundus Photographs (FP) in the Study Eye (time frame: Baseline (BL), 6 months, 12 months and 18 months). The study lists 8 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 5 May 2017.
