About this study

Official title: Multicentre Open Label Non-randomized Clinical Study Evaluating Pharmacokinetics, Safety, Tolerability of Multiple Intravitreal Injections of BCD-021 (CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) in Patients With Neovascular Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration

This clinical study is a phase 1 study which carried out to to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and tolerability of multiple intravitreal injections of BCD-021(bevacizumab biosimilar candidate manufactured by CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) when used in patients with neovascular wet age-related macular degeneration.

Read the detailed description

BCD-021-1 is an open label, non-comparative, non-randomized, multicenter phase 1 clinical study evaluating pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of multiple intravitreal injections of BCD-021 (bevacizumab biosimilar, CJSC BIOCAD) when given in patients with exudative (wet) age-related macular degeneration.

The study will enrol 10 patients with confirmed neovascular wet age-related macular degeneration. Before inclusion into the active phase of the study, patients will undergo a diagnostic examination during the screening period with a maximum duration of 28 days.

The principal part of the study includes the period from the first intravitreal injection and until 28 days after the third intravitreal injection. The goal of this stage is to evaluate pharmacokinetics, the safety and tolerability of multiple intravitreal injections of BCD-021 (CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) when used in patients with neovascular wet age-related macular degeneration.

Extension phase of the study (month 4 - month 12) is required to assess the long-term effects of the therapy and get full information about the immunogenicity of the study drug.

What participants receive

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

  • Bevacizumab (BCD-021)Drug

    Also called Avastin

    Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A)

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BCD-021 groupExperimentalBCD-021 (bevacizumab) at a dose of 1.25 mg, administered as single intravitreal injection every 28 days up to 12 months.
Receives: Drug: Bevacizumab (BCD-021)

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of ocular and systemic AEs (adverse events) and SAEs (serious adverse events) which are related to BCD-021 and appeared after the first, the second and the third intravitreal injection of BCD-021

    Measured: 85 days

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Frequency of ocular and systemic AEs and SAEs related to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) therapy, appeared within the whole study period

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Number of cases of early withdrawal from the study caused by AE or SAE

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero (0) hours to 28 days, maximum concentration and half life of bevacizumab after the first administration of BCD-021

    Measured: 28 days

  4. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 56 days to 84 days, maximum concentration and half life of bevacizumab after the third administration of BCD-021

    Measured: 28 days

  5. Minimum concentration of bevacizumab between the first and the third administration of BCD-021

    Measured: 28 days

  6. Number of patients who have binding and neutralizing antibodies to BCD-021 in serum at screening, after 3 intravitreal injections and after 12 intravitreal injections of BCD-021

    Measured: 12 months

  7. Mean change in visual acuity score, measured on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) scale at month 12

    Measured: 12 months

  8. Change in fluid and foveal thickness on OCT during the study

    Measured: 12 months

  9. Timing of visual improvement after initiation of therapy

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bevacizumab (BCD-021) in people with Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration, run by Biocad.

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 10 inclusion and 32 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Frequency of ocular and systemic AEs (adverse events) and SAEs (serious adverse events) which are related to BCD-021 and appeared after the first, the second and the third intravitreal injection of BCD-021 (time frame: 85 days). 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 31 Mar 2016.
