What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Measured by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Letter Score at Week 12

    Visual function of the study eye was assessed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol at 4 meters. Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) score was measured using an eye chart and was reported as the number of letters read correctly at a testing distance of 4 meters using the ETDRS Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. Change from baseline calculated by subtracting baseline value from observed post-baseline value at Week 12.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Measured by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Letter Score at Week 36

    Visual function of the study eye was assessed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol at 4 meters. BCVA score was measured using an eye chart and was reported as the number of letters read correctly at a testing distance of 4 meters using the ETDRS Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. Change from baseline calculated by subtracting baseline value from observed post-baseline value at Week 36.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 36

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change From Baseline in Central Sub-field Retinal Thickness (CST) Measured by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) at Week 12

    Central Sub-field Retinal Thickness (CST) was assessed using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT), a non-invasive diagnostic system providing high-resolution imaging sections of the retina. SD-OCT was performed in the study eye after pupil dilation. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement. Change from baseline calculated by subtracting baseline value from LOCF post-baseline value at Week 12.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline in Central Sub-field Retinal Thickness (CST) Measured by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) at Week 36

    CST was assessed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), a non-invasive diagnostic system providing high-resolution imaging sections of the retina. SD-OCT was performed in the study eye after pupil dilation. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement. Change from baseline calculated by subtracting baseline value from LOCF post-baseline value at Week 36.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 36

  3. Percentage of Participants With a ≥ 2-step Improvement at Week 12 in Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) From Baseline

    The Diabetic Retinopathy Disease Severity Scale (DRSS) was used to describe overall retinopathy severity. It measured the 5 levels of diabetic retinopathy ranging from absence of retinopathy to severe retinopathy (none, mild, moderate, severe, and proliferative).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  4. Percentage of Participants With a ≥ 2-step Improvement at Week 36 in Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) From Baseline

    The Diabetic Retinopathy Disease Severity Scale (DRSS) was used to describe overall retinopathy severity. It measured the 5 levels of diabetic retinopathy ranging from absence of retinopathy to severe retinopathy (none, mild, moderate, severe, and proliferative).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 36

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing REGN910-3 and Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection (IAI) in people with Diabetic Macular Edema, run by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals at 51 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 51 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 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 3 Oct 2018). 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 Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Measured by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Letter Score at Week 12 (time frame: Baseline, Week 12). 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?
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 3 Oct 2018.
