About this study

Primary objective of this trial will be to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal injections of Macugen (pegaptanib sodium) when given at least 7-14 days prior to vitrectomy in subjects with tractional retinal detachment (with or withoutmacular involvement) secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Secondary objective is to evaluate regression of neovascularization and progression of macular traction utilizing OCT and fundus photographs.

What participants receive

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

  • Macugen (Pegaptanib Sodium)Drug

    Pegaptanib sodium drug substance is a pegylated (40 kDa branched PEG molecule consisting of two 20 kDa PEG arms) anti-VEGF aptamer. It is formulated in phosphate buffered saline at pH 6-7. Sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid may be added for pH adjustment.

    Pegaptanib sodium is formulated at 0.3mg/90µl and presented in a USP Type I glass barrel syringe sealed with a bromobutyl rubber stopper. A 30-guage needle is fixed to the end of the syringe after removal of the rubber stopper. The syringe comes in a sealed foil pouch, and the 30-gauge needle is added to the sterile injection field separately. The drug product is preservative-free and intended for single use by intravitreous injection only.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Macugen (Pegaptanib Sodium) in people with PDR, run by Retina Institute of Hawaii 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 7 Dec 2011. 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.

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?

Evidence of advancement of tractional detachment post injection of Macugen before surgical intervention. (time frame: 7-14 days prior to surgical intervention). 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 7 Dec 2011.
