What is being measured

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

  1. Mean change of BCVA from baseline at 12 week;

    Measurement of visual acuity with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  2. Mean change of BCVA from baseline at 48 week;

    Measurement of visual acuity with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 48

  3. Incidence and severity of AEs

    To evaluate the safety of multiple intravitreal injection of RC28-E of each group.)

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 48

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of RC28-E;

    Serum concentrations at each collection time point were quantitated, where possible, using a validated immunoassay method. These data were analyzed using a noncompartmental pharmacokinetic (PK) method.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 48

  2. Frequency of administration RC28-E within 48 weeks;

    Number of intravitreal injections

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 48

  3. Mean change of BCVA from baseline at Protocol Specified Time-Points.

    Measurement of visual acuity with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing intravitreal injection of RC28-E 0.5mg, intravitreal injection of RC28-E 1.0mg and intravitreal injection of RC28-E2.0mg in people with Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration, run by RemeGen Co., Ltd. at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 25 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 10 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 combined 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.

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?

Mean change of BCVA from baseline at 12 week; (time frame: Baseline, Week 12). The study lists 3 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 10 Jan 2022.
