Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Overall, 311 subjects were randomized to the Fovista + Lucentis group. Of these 2 subjects did not receive treatment. Hence the total number of subjects in the Fovista + Lucentis group is 309.

    Mean change in visual acuity (ETDRS letters) from Baseline to Month 12
    End point description
    The primary efficacy endpoint was the mean change in VA (ETDRS letters) from Baseline to Month 12. All VA assessments were performed by the study refractionist/ophthalmologist. For analyses of the primary endpoint, a Model for Repeated Measures (MRM) was used to assess the differences between the treatment groups at the Month 12 visit. VA was assessed on the ITT population which consisted of all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of study drug, irrespective of the dose actually received. Subjects were analyzed as per the dose group assigned at randomization. Subjects were included in a particular analysis, for a particular population, if relevant data were available for analysis (e.g., the primary analysis required one baseline and at least one post baseline VA measurement, to calculate a change score).

    A secondary endpoint was to assess the proportion of subjects with growth of Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) area from Baseline to Month 12 by Fluorescein Angiography (FA). All FA images were centrally read. CNV Area is defined as Classic CNV Area + Occult CNV Area + Retinal Pigment Epithelium staining. Growth of CNV area is defined as a change greater than zero in the CNV area on FA from Baseline to Month 12. Baseline is the last non-missing measurement prior to the first dose of study drug.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    06 Mar 2014
    1. Clarification of study drug retreatment algorithm. 2. Subject selection criteria were widened to include more subjects. 3. Previous or concomitant therapy was modified to clarify that therapy was prescribed at the investigator's discretion. 4. Clarification of when routine office procedures performed before informed consent may be used as screening procedures for this study. 5. Screening: clarification that Applanation Tonometry was Goldmann Applanation Tonometry. 6. Clarification that if a patient is randomized, the repeat OCT (and FA, if taken) must be submitted to the Reading Center to be used as the new study baseline. 7. A window of +/- 1 day was added to assessments. 8. Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization with some classic component (i.e., predominantly classic or minimally classic) secondary to AMD was changed to subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to AMD. Subjects without evidence of a “classic” lesion on fluorescein angiogram, but with evidence of subretinal highly-reflective material on high resolution SD-OCT, were stratified into the ≤50% classic group at the time of stratification. 9. Analysis upon all Patients Completing Month 12 was amended to note that “topline” Month 12 results may need to be publically disseminated as per U.S. business law. 10. Clarification of the definition of the relationship of adverse events to study drug and injection procedure.

    Interruption
    Restart date
    20 Feb 2017
    All of the subjects were terminated early from the study due to the sponsor decision, after analyses of the Year-1 data from Phase 3 studies OPH1002 and OPH1003 showed that the addition of Fovista to Lucentis did not lead to further visual improvements.
