Show all 11Show fewer

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled, Multi-dose Study of the Safety and Tolerability of ONL1204 Ophthalmic Solution in Patients With Geographic Atrophy (GA) Associated With Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravitreal injection of ONL1204 Ophthalmic Solution in patients with geographic atrophy associated with AMD.

GA associated with AMD is one of the world's leading causes of visual disability. It is a progressive disease with no approved therapy to slow or arrest the process of continual photoreceptor and retinal epithelial (RPE) cell loss. A safe and effective therapy for GA will have vast societal benefits. ONL1204 is being developed for this purpose. ONL1204 is a first-in-class inhibitor of fragment apoptosis stimulator receptor-mediated cell death in development for to reduce rates of vision in patients with GA associated with AMD. ONL1204 has demonstrated protection of multiple retinal cell types in several preclinical models of acute ocular injury and the protection of RPE in AMD models. ONL1204 Ophthalmic Solution is currently in a Phase 1 clinical study in patients with macula-off retinal detachment to evaluate safety and tolerability of a multi-dose of ONL1204 Ophthalmic Solution. The study is ongoing and uses the same doses and route of administration as this Phase 1b study in patients with GA.

Read the detailed description

In this study patients will be enrolled and followed for 24 weeks (natural history phase) at which point they will be randomized to 1 of 2 doses of ONL1204 Ophthalmic Solution or sham. Weeks 24 to 48 make up the Treatment Phase. Patients will be on study for a total of 48 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ONL1204 Ophthalmic solution in people with Geographic Atrophy, run by ONL Therapeutics at 8 sites in 2 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 12 inclusion and 11 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 19 Nov 2024. 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 Australia, New Zealand. 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 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.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Best Corrected Visual Acuity (time frame: up to 48 weeks). The study lists 3 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 19 Nov 2024.
