About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Masked, Controlled, Safety and Efficacy Study of a Fluocinolone Acetonide (FA) Intravitreal 0.05 mg Insert (Yutiq 0.05 mg) in Subjects With Chronic Non-Infectious Uveitis Affecting the Posterior Segment of the Eye

A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal (FAI) insert in the management of subjects with chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye.

Read the detailed description

This was a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, masked, controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an injectable FAI insert for the management of subjects with chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye. Subjects were randomized to receive either a sham injection or the FAI insert and were observed for 1 year following treatment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Sham InjectorDrug

    Also called Sham Comparator

    Intravitreal sham injection

  • FAI InsertDrug

    Also called Active Drug

    Yutiq 0.05 mg contains 0.05 mg FA and was designed to deliver FA into the vitreous humor for at least 24 weeks.

    Yutiq 0.05 mg was administered to the study eye by injection through the pars plana using a pre-loaded applicator with a 25-gauge needle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Subjects With Recurrence of Uveitis in the Study Eye at Week 24

    Recurrence was defined as:

    • An increase in the vitreous haze of ≥2 steps compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit; or
    • A deterioration in visual acuity of at least 15 letters BCVA compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit.

    Measured: Week 24

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage of Subjects With Recurrence of Uveitis in the Study Eye at Week 52

    Recurrence was defined as:

    • An increase in the vitreous haze of ≥2 steps compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit (or the Week 52 visit); or
    • A deterioration in visual acuity of at least 15 letters BCVA compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit (or the Week 52 visit).

    Measured: Week 52

  2. Percentage of Subjects With Recurrence of Uveitis in the Fellow Eye at Weeks 24 and 52

    Recurrence was defined as:

    • An increase in the vitreous haze of ≥2 steps compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit (or the Week 52 visit); or
    • A deterioration in visual acuity of at least 15 letters BCVA compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit (or the Week 52 visit).

    Measured: Weeks 24 and 52

  3. Mean Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Letter Score in the Study Eye at Weeks 24 and 52

    The BCVA was measured according to the standard procedure originally developed for Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS). The ETDRS letter score calculated when 20 or more letters were read correctly at 4.0 meters; the visual acuity letter score was equal to the total number of letters read correctly at 4.0 meters plus 30. The score ranges from 0 (worse) to 100 (best). Higher scores indicate positive outcome measure.

    Measured: Weeks 24 and 52

  4. Number of Recurrences of Uveitis Within 24 and 52 Weeks

    Recurrence was defined as:

    An increase in the vitreous haze of ≥2 steps compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit (or the Week 52 visit); or A deterioration in visual acuity of at least 15 letters BCVA compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit (or the Week 52 visit).

    Measured: Weeks 24 and 52

  5. Time to Recurrence of Uveitis Through Weeks 24 and 52

    Recurrence was defined as:

    An increase in the vitreous haze of ≥2 steps compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit (or the Week 52 visit); or A deterioration in visual acuity of at least 15 letters BCVA compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit (or the Week 52 visit).

    Measured: Weeks 24 and 52

  6. Number of Adjunctive Treatments Required to Treat Recurrences of Uveitis at 24 and 52 Weeks

    Recurrence was defined as:

    An increase in the vitreous haze of ≥2 steps compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit (or the Week 52 visit); or A deterioration in visual acuity of at least 15 letters BCVA compared to baseline or any visit time point prior to the Week 24 visit (or the Week 52 visit).

    In the event of a uveitis recurrence in either eye, peri-ocular or intraocular corticosteroid injections, or topical medications administered as first line local therapy.

    Measured: Weeks 24 and 52

  7. Percentage of Subjects With Recurrence of Iridocyclitis in the Study Eye Compared to Baseline at 24 and 52 Weeks

    Iridocyclitis was defined as a >2-step increase in anterior chamber cells per high-power field (HPF) (1.6*using a 1-millimeter beam).

    Measured: Weeks 24 and 52

  8. Percentage of Subjects With Resolution of Macular Edema at Day 28 and Months 2, 3, 6 and 12

    The macular edema was measured by spectral-domain - optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging.

    Measured: At Day 28 and Months 2, 3, 6 and 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing FAI Insert in people with Uveitis and Uveitis, Posterior, run by EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site 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 11 inclusion and 34 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 19 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. 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 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 19 Dec 2024). 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?

Percentage of Subjects With Recurrence of Uveitis in the Study Eye at Week 24 (time frame: Week 24). 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 Dec 2024.
