About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Randomized, Double-Masked, Multicenter Clinical Trial Designed to Evaluate the Safety and Exploratory Efficacy of SF0166 Topical Ophthalmic Solution in the Treatment of Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and exploratory efficacy of SF0166 Topical Ophthalmic Solution in patients with Neovascular (wet) Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

Read the detailed description

This was a prospective, randomized, double-masked, multicenter, Phase I/II clinical study in which 44 eligible subjects with Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) were randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms in a 1:1 ratio as follows: SF0166 low dose twice daily (BID) or SF0166 high dose BID.

Study subjects administered the randomly assigned treatment for 28 days. There was an additional 28-day post-treatment follow-up period. Study subjects returned for examination every 2 weeks for 8 weeks (2 months).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing SF0166 Topical Ophthalmic Solution in people with Age-Related Macular Degeneration, run by OcuTerra Therapeutics, Inc. at 12 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 15 inclusion and 24 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 7 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 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 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.

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 7 Jun 2023). 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 Subjects With No Cells Observed Following Slit Lamp Examination From Baseline to Week 8 (time frame: Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6 and Week 8). The study lists 16 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Jun 2023.
