Trial summary

A pterygium is a wing-shaped, benign tissue growth which forms on the surface of the conjunctiva and grows towards the cornea. It can eventually lead to vision impairment. The precise cause of pterygium formation is unknown but new blood vessel growth and fibroblastic structures are characteristics of the disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Double-Masked, Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Topical AG-86893 in Patients With Pterygium

A pterygium is a wing-shaped, benign tissue growth which forms on the surface of the conjunctiva and grows towards the cornea. It can eventually lead to vision impairment. The precise cause of pterygium formation is unknown but new blood vessel growth and fibroblastic structures are characteristics of the disease. AG-86893 is an eye drop being developed to treat hyperemia (redness) and growth of the pterygium.

Hypothesis

  1. AG-86893 dosed three times daily for 28 consecutive days has an acceptable safety profile as measured by the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) compared with vehicle
  2. At least 1 concentration of AG-86893 is effective, as measured by the mean change from baseline in conjunctival hyperemia (redness), compared with vehicle

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Overall Conjunctival Hyperemia Score

    Assessed by digital ocular photography; each quadrant of the eye (superior, inferior, nasal, temporal) will be scored using a 5-point scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, and 4 = very severe) and graded by a reading center. The overall conjunctival score is the average of the four quadrants. Assessments are made by subtracting the score at Baseline from the score on Day 28. An increase in value indicates worsening of hyperemia, while a decrease indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 28

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change From Baseline in Conjunctival Hyperemia Score in the Quadrant With the Pterygium

    Assessed by digital ocular photography; the quadrant with the pterygium will be scored using a 5-point scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, and 4 = very severe) and graded by a reading center. Assessments are made by subtracting the score at Baseline from the score on Day 28. An increase in value indicates worsening of hyperemia, while a decrease indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 0.1% AG-86893 Eye Drops and 0.3% AG-86893 Eye Drops in people with Pterygium, run by Allgenesis Biotherapeutics Inc. at 6 sites in Australia.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 6 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Australia. 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 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 6 Nov 2020). 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?

Change From Baseline in Overall Conjunctival Hyperemia Score (time frame: Baseline and Day 28). 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 6 Nov 2020.
