About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Single-masked, Multicentre Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of 2 Dose Levels of THR-317 for the Treatment of Diabetic Macular Oedema (DME)

This study is conducted to evaluate the safety of THR-317 when administered intravitreally and to assess the compound's efficacy in improving best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and reducing central subfield thickness (CST) in subjects with centre-involved diabetic macular oedema (DME).

Being tested
Anti-PlGF recombinant monoclonal antibody, 4mg dose, Anti-PlGF recombinant monoclonal antibody, 8mg dose
Medical subject headings
Diabetic Retinopathy, Macular Edema

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of acute (up to the 7-day follow-up visit) ocular (serious) adverse events ([S]AEs) in the study eye, after each injection and across injections per subject

    Measured: up to the 7-day follow-up visit after each injection

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Incidence of systemic and ocular (S)AEs up to the 30-day follow-up visit, after each injection and across injections per subject

    Measured: up to the 30-day follow-up visit after each injection

  2. Incidence of systemic and ocular (S)AEs from first injection up to Day 90 and up to Day 150

    Measured: From day 0 to day 150

  3. Proportion of subjects withdrawn from repeat injection and reason for withdrawal

    Measured: At day 30 and at day 60

  4. Proportion of subjects with a loss of ≥ 15, ≥ 10 or ≥ 5 ETDRS letters in BCVA from baseline by study visit

    Measured: Up to day 150

  5. Proportion of subjects with an acute loss (up to the 7-day follow-up visit) of ≥ 15, ≥ 10 or ≥ 5 ETDRS letters in BCVA after each injection

    Measured: Up to 7-day follow-up visit after each injection

  6. Proportion of subjects with a ≥ 15 ETDRS letters gain in BCVA from baseline or ≥ 83 ETDRS letters, by study visit

    Measured: Up to day 150

  7. Mean change from baseline in BCVA, by study visit

    Measured: Up to day 150

  8. Mean change from baseline in CST, by study visit, based on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), as assessed by the central reading centre (CRC)

    Measured: Up to day 150

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Anti-PlGF recombinant monoclonal antibody, 4mg dose and Anti-PlGF recombinant monoclonal antibody, 8mg dose in people with Diabetic Retinopathy and Macular Edema, run by ThromboGenics at 13 sites in 3 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 17 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia. 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?

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?

Incidence of acute (up to the 7-day follow-up visit) ocular (serious) adverse events ([S]AEs) in the study eye, after each injection and across injections per subject (time frame: up to the 7-day follow-up visit after each injection). 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 17 Apr 2018.
