About this study

Official title: A Trial to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of Repeated Doses of Intravitreal Administration of Two VEGF Trap Formulations in Subjects With Neovascular Age Related Macular Degeneration

To assess the safety and tolerability of repeated intravitreal (ITV) administration of VEGF Trap.

Read the detailed description

A double-masked study in which approximately 12 subjects will receive ITV injections of VEGF Trap every 4 weeks for a total of 3 doses. Once the subjects have received the 3 doses allowed in this study, they will be evaluated every 4 weeks for continued dosing of VEGF Trap for an additional 9 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VEGF Trap in people with Neovascular Age Related Macular Degeneration, run by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals at 6 sites in United States.

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 13 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 21 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. 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?

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?

The primary endpoint of the study will be safety and tolerability of the study treatment at Week 12 as assessed by ophthalmic examination and reporting of AEs. (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 21 Apr 2011.
