What participants receive

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

  • ConberceptDrug

Study groups in NCT03159884
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
3+Q12WExperimentalThe eye of interest will first receive three consecutive intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg conbercept every 4 weeks, followed by every 12 weeks. If the subject meets the "additional medication criteria" in 12 weeks during treatment, additional injection can be given;
Receives: Drug: Conbercept
3+TAEExperimentalThe eye of interest will first receive three consecutive intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg conbercept every 4 weeks, then the researcher will determine the next follow-up visit time/treatment interval based on results of each follow-up assessment as per the "treatment-extended dosing criteria". When the follow-up/treatment interval of the subject is extended to 12 weeks, additional safety follow-up visit can be arranged if any suspicious active lesion is deemed by the researcher; additional injection can be given if the result of safety follow-up assessment meets the "extra dosing criteria".
Receives: Drug: Conbercept

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Conbercept in people with Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV), run by Chengdu Kanghong Biotech Co., Ltd. at 35 sites in China.

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 9 inclusion and 34 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact xiaoxin Li (dr_lixiaoxin@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of Best Corrected Visual Acuity (time frame: Baseline, 12th and 48th week). 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 19 Jul 2017.
