About this study

Official title: A Single-Center, Investigator-Sponsored Pilot Study to Assess Safety and Biologic Activity of Bromfenac Ophthalmic Solution, 0.09%, in Subjects With Diffuse DME Refractory to Laser

This is an investigator-sponsored trial (IST), an open-label pilot study, assessing the safety and biologic activity of bromfenac in subjects with diffuse DME refractory to laser.

Read the detailed description

Ten subjects will be enrolled in this study, which will be conducted at Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston, Boston, MA. All subjects must be diagnosed with diffuse DME that is either refractory to laser photocoagulation or in patients who have refused laser.

Consented subjects will be screened to determine eligibility. Eligibility will be determined by the Investigator, a retinal specialist. Only one eye will be chosen as the "study eye." Only the study eye will receive bromfenac drops during the study.

Eligible subjects will self-administer bromfenac two times per day (BID) for three months (treatment period). Subjects will have monthly examinations during the treatment period, followed by follow up visits at Month 4 and Month 6.

What is being measured

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

  1. The mean change in visual acuity and central retinal thickness from baseline to month 3,and the incidence and severity of ocular adverse events and other adverse events.

    Measured: Baseline to month 3

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in retinal leakage as determined by fluorescein angiography

    Measured: Baseline to month 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bromfenac ophthalmic solution in people with Diabetic Macular Edema, run by Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston at 1 site 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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 2007. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The mean change in visual acuity and central retinal thickness from baseline to month 3,and the incidence and severity of ocular adverse events and other adverse events. (time frame: Baseline to month 3). 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 25 Jun 2007.
