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

Who may be able to join

  • Presence of focal vitreomacular adhesion (i.e., central vitreal adhesion within 6 mm Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) field surrounded by elevation of the posterior vitreous cortex) that in the opinion of the Investigator is related to decreased visual function (such as metamorphopsia, decreased visual acuity, or other visual complaint)

Who cannot join

  • Any evidence of proliferative retinopathy (including Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR)) or other ischemic retinopathies involving vitreoretinal vascular proliferation) or exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) or retinal vein occlusion in the study eye
  • Subjects with any vitreous hemorrhage or any other vitreous opacification which precludes either of the following: visualization of the posterior pole by visual inspection OR adequate assessment of the macula by either OCT and/or fluorescein angiogram in the study eye
  • Subjects with macular hole diameter > 400 µm in the study eye
  • Aphakia in the study eye
  • High myopia (more than 8D) in study eye (unless prior cataract extraction or refractive surgery that makes refraction assessment unreliable for myopia severity approximation, in which case axial length >28 mm is an exclusion).

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Double-masked, Multicenter Trial of Microplasmin Intravitreal Injection for Non-surgical Treatment of Focal Vitreomacular Adhesion.

This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of microplasmin, administered as an intravitreal injection, in subjects with focal vitreomacular adhesion. In previously performed clinical trials, some patients treated with intravitreal microplasmin have had resolution of their underlying condition, including macular hole closure, without need for vitrectomy. This clinical trial is justified because the sponsor believes the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.

Being tested
Ocriplasmin 125µg, Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of Subjects With Nonsurgical Resolution of Focal Vitreomacular Adhesion at Day 28

    Proportion of subjects with nonsurgical resolution of focal vitreomacular adhesion at Day 28, as determined by masked Central Reading Centre (CRC) Optical Coherence Tomography(OCT)evaluation.

    Measured: Day 28

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Proportion of Subjects With Total Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) at Day 28

    Proportion of subjects with total PVD at Day 28, as determined by masked investigator assessment of B-scan ultrasound.

    Measured: Day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ocriplasmin 125µg in people with Vitreomacular Adhesion, run by ThromboGenics at 48 sites in 7 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 17 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 48 sites in United States, Germany, Czechia, Spain, United Kingdom and 2 more countries. 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. 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 phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jan 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Proportion of Subjects With Nonsurgical Resolution of Focal Vitreomacular Adhesion at Day 28 (time frame: Day 28). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00798317, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 17 Dec 2014.
