About this study

This study is conducted in 3 stages. Stage 1 is an open-label, dose-escalation assessment of the safety of AGN-150998 administered as a single intravitreal injection to patients with advanced exudative Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Stage 2 and Stage 3 are randomized, double-masked, comparisons of the safety and treatment effects on retinal edema and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of AGN-150998 and ranibizumab in treatment-naive patients with exudative AMD. Study medication is administered as needed in Stage 2 and with a fixed-dosing schedule in Stage 3. The study objectives are (1) to identify the highest tolerated dose of AGN-150998, (2) to assess the safety and duration of treatment effects on retinal edema and BCVA, and (3) to characterize the systemic pharmacokinetic profile of AGN-150998.

What is being measured

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

  1. Highest Tolerated Dose (HTD) of AGN-150998

    Stage 1 evaluated the safety of a single intravitreal injection of AGN-150998 with doses ranging from 1.0 to 4.2 mg.

    Measured: 24 Weeks

  2. Stage 1: Change From Baseline in Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) in the Study Eye

    CRT was assessed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), a non-invasive diagnostic system providing high-resolution imaging sections of the retina. SD-OCT was performed in the study eye after pupil dilation. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

  3. Stage 2: Time Between Baseline Treatment and Recurrence of Active Disease

    Recurrence of Active Disease was based on Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA), Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) values as evaluated by the Central Reading Center (CRC) and the investigator assessments of haemorrhage.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

  4. Stage 3: Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in the Study Eye

    BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Stage 2: Time Between Second Treatment and Recurrence of Active Disease

    Recurrence of active disease is defined as the time in days to escape to standard of care. Time is calculated as (date of Escaping to Standard of Care/Censoring minus the date of the Second Injection) +1.

    Measured: 32 Weeks

  2. Stage 2: Change From Baseline in Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) in the Study Eye

    CRT was assessed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), a non-invasive diagnostic system providing high-resolution imaging sections of the retina. SD-OCT was performed in the study eye after pupil dilation. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

  3. Stage 2: Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in the Study Eye

    BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

  4. Stage 3: Change From Baseline in Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) in the Study Eye

    CRT was assessed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), a non-invasive diagnostic system providing high-resolution imaging sections of the retina. SD-OCT was performed in the study eye after pupil dilation. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

  5. Stage 3: Change From Baseline in BCVA in the Study Eye

    BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AGN-150998 and ranibizumab in people with Age-related Macular Degeneration, run by Allergan at 8 sites in 8 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 16 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, Australia, Austria, France, Germany and 3 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jun 2015). 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?

Highest Tolerated Dose (HTD) of AGN-150998 (time frame: 24 Weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01397409, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Apr 2019.
