About this study

Official title: Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single Rising Intravitreal Doses and Multiple Intravitreal Dosing of BI 754132 in Patients With Geographic Atrophy Secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration (Open Label, Non-randomized, Uncontrolled).

This is a study in adults with geographic atrophy, an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration. The purpose of this study is to find out how well different doses of BI 754132 are tolerated.

The participants are in the study for about 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 10 times. Participants receive 1 injection of BI 754132 directly into one of the eyes affected by geographic atrophy. In this study, BI 754132 is given to humans for the first time.

The doctors compare how well participants tolerate the different doses of BI 754132. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BI 754132 in people with Macular Degeneration, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 13 sites in 2 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 10 inclusion and 24 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2023. 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 United States, United Kingdom. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Sep 2023). 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?

SRD Part: Number of Patients With Ocular (in the Study Eye) or Systemic Dose Limiting Events (DLEs) (time frame: From drug administration until end of trial, up to 100 days.). 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 15 Sep 2023.
