About this study

Official title: Phase I Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of DS-7080a in Subjects With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration or Diabetic Macular Edema

The purpose of this study is to test DS-7080a, a monoclonal antibody, as a new treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). The hypothesis of the study is that DS-7080a is safe and shows preliminary efficacy in patients with these conditions either alone or in combination with ranibizumab. This study is organized into 3 Parts: Part 1 Dose Escalation in AMD participants, Part 2 Dose Expansion in AMD participants, and Part 3 Dose Expansion in DME participants.

In Part 1, participants will be enrolled into 3 sequential, ascending dose-level cohorts in non-randomized uncontrolled manner with the main purpose to determine the recommended dose.

In Part 2, participants will be randomized to 1 of 3 arms of either monotherapy with DS-7080a or monotherapy with ranibizumab, which is an active control, or combination therapy of DS-7080a plus ranibizumab (ranibizumab will be administered 30 minutes prior to DS-7080a).

In Part 3, subjects with DME will be assigned to 1 of 2 arms of either monotherapy with DS-7080a or monotherapy with ranibizumab. DS-7080a or ranibizumab will be administered 3 times: on Baseline/Day 1, Day 29, and Day 57.

Both Parts 2 and 3 will consist of 8 visits including a 14-day screening phase, an 84-day treatment period, and a 28-day follow-up period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants experiencing any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE)

    Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) are defined as those adverse events (AEs) that were new or got worse between the start of study treatment and the end of the follow-up period.

    Measured: 16 weeks

  2. Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) score

    Visual acuity of both eyes will be assessed at all study visits using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter score. The patient starts are the top of the chart and begins to read down the chart. The patient reads down the chart until he or she reaches a row where a minimum of three letters on a line cannot be read. The patient is scored by how many letters could be correctly identified. Added to the score for the last row where the participant could read all five letters correctly are scores for each additional letter that could be read correctly in the next row. This is the BCVA score. A higher score means better visual acuity (sharpness of vision).

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change from baseline in retinal thickness and volume

    Retinal thickness and volume are assessed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Change from baseline in retinal leakage

    Retinal leakage is assessed by fluorescein angiography (FA)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Plasma concentrations

    Concentration of study drug in blood plasma

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Part 3 only: Change from baseline in vessel flow density, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, and FAZ shape

    Vessel flow density, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, and FAZ shape are assessed by OCT angiography (OCT-A)

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing DS-7080a and Ranibizumab in people with Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Macular Edema, run by Daiichi Sankyo at 12 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 12 inclusion and 49 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 9 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 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 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?

Number of participants experiencing any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) (time frame: 16 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02530918, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 May 2018.
