Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 50 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Best corrected visual acuity in the study eye between 20/40 and 20/320 and better or equal to 20/800 in the fellow eye.
  • Foveal thickness <= 300 um (measured by OCT center point thickness).
  • Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration, with a total lesion size (including blood, scar/atrophy \& neovascularization) of <= 12 disc areas, of which at least 50% must be active CNV.

Who cannot join

  • Previous subfoveal thermal laser therapy.
  • Any subfoveal atrophy or scarring, blood over the fovea, or fibrosis. Additionally no more than 25% of the total lesion size may be made up of scarring or atrophy.
  • Previous photodynamic therapy with Visudyne (PDT) in the study eye. Eyes with predominantly classic lesions (as classified by fluorescein angiographic appearance) may be enrolled in the trial if, in the clinical judgment of the investigator, PDT can be deferred for at least 54 weeks after the first study treatment

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Prospective, Randomized, Double-Masked, Sham-Controlled, Dose-Ranging, Multi-Center Trial to Assess the Effect of Pegaptanib Sodium on Foveal Thickening in Patients With Exudative Subfoveal Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

The purpose of this study is to determine if Macugen™ reduces foveal thickness and improves vision in patients with wet AMD.

Read the detailed description

This will be a randomized, double-masked, controlled, dose-ranging, multi-center comparative trial, in parallel groups. Patients will be stratified by clinical center and foveal thickness to be treated either Macugen or a sham injection. After 24 weeks, all patients will treated with Macugen until the end of the study at 54 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Macugen ™ (pegaptanib sodium injection) in people with Macular Degeneration, run by Eyetech Pharmaceuticals.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 3 May 2006. 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. 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.

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 3 May 2006.
