About this study

Official title: Clinical Assessment Of Age-related Macular Degeneration Patients After Early Diagnosis and Treatment With Ranibizumab (COMPASS)

To determine if patients treated early after diagnosis of wet age-related macular degeneration can return/maintain to their baseline pre-disease BCVA.

Read the detailed description

We will conduct an open label, multi-center study of naïve AMD patients that are identified early upon disease progression (had a normal VA, FA or OCT within 4 months prior to entry) to assess if treating with ranibizumab monthly can restore all patients to their baseline vision pre-AMD. Recent randomized clinical trials (MARINA, ANCHOR) have conclusively demonstrated that continued intravitreal therapy with ranibizumab in patients with subfoveal CNV from AMD leads to stabilization of vision in over 90% of patients and improvement in vision in at least a third of the patients and has led to the approval of ranibizumab (0.5 mg) for the treatment of neovascular AMD.

Patients will receive monthly intravitreal ranibizumab injections for 12 months (with dose holding for return to baseline/ 20/20 or better and no evidence of fluid on SD-OCT or FA). All patients will have ETDRS vision and SD-OCT, and complete exam at each monthly visit. Patients will each have a blood analysis for genetics (either during the GALLEY study in which they converted to wet AMD and entered COMPASS or during this study).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients That Achieve Their Pre-wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Baseline Visual Acuity Within 12 Months

    PI is no longer affiliated with institution. All efforts were exhausted to obtain data from all sites for this study, but we only have access to data from UCSD site. Data from these participants is being reported here.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6 and Month 12

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean Change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) From Baseline to 6 Months and Baseline to 12 Months.

    Mean change was measured by letters gained or lost. A positive number is letters gained, and a negative number is letters lost.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6 and Month 12

  2. Mean Change in Central Foveal Thickness (CFT) From Baseline to 6 Months and Baseline to 12 Months

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6 and Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing ranibizumab in people with Age-Related Macular Degeneration, run by University of California, San Diego at 4 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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 combined 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.

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 28 Aug 2019). 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?

Number of Patients That Achieve Their Pre-wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Baseline Visual Acuity Within 12 Months (time frame: Baseline, Month 6 and Month 12). 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 28 Aug 2019.
