About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled, Double-Masked Adaptive Design Evaluation of the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of IVMED-85 on Pediatric Myopia

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a 1-year course of IVMED-85 eye drops for the treatment of pediatric myopia by assessing its safety effects on visual acuity and its effect on the change and/or progression of myopia.

The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

  • Does IVMED 85 improve visual acuity
  • Does IVMED 85 slow or otherwise change the progression of myopia

Participants will use eyedrops twice a day for one year. Researchers will compare IVMED 85 to a placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing IVMED 85 in people with Myopia, Progressive, run by iVeena Delivery Systems, Inc..

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 16 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Sarah Molokhia, RPH, PhD (3852294491, sarahmolokhia@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase 1 Safety - Change in Best corrected distance visual acuity (time frame: Baseline compared to Day 0, Weeks 1, 2 and 4 (+ 5 days)). The study lists 7 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 29 Sep 2023.
