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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 ).

    Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)
    BCVA was measured using an eye chart and is reported as number of letters read correctly using Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Scale (0 to 100 letters) in study eye. Lower number of letters read correctly, worse the vision. Study eye: eye that meets entry criteria. If both eyes met all of entry criteria, eye with worse BCVA at baseline (Day 1) was selected. If values for both eyes were identical, participant selected non-dominant eye, or else right eye was selected.

    NEI-VFQ-25 consists of 25 vision-targeted questions that represent 11 vision-related quality of life subscales and one general health item. Responses of individual participants were recorded as scores that ranged between 0 (worst) to 100 (best vision related function) with higher scale indicating better vision related function. The overall composite score is then calculated by averaging over all 11 vision-targeted subscale scores, excluding the general health score. Overall composite score was calculated based on mean of non-missing subscales.

    Stable vision was vision loss of fewer than 15 letters in BCVA from baseline (BL). BCVA was measured using an eye chart and was reported as number of letters read correctly using ETDRS Scale (0 to 100 letters) in study eye. Lower number of letters read correctly on eye chart, worse vision (or visual acuity). Increase in number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. Study eye was defined as eye that meets entry criteria. If both eyes met all of entry criteria, eye with worse BCVA at BL (Day 1) was selected. If BCVA values for both eyes were identical then participant had to select the non-dominant eye, or else right eye was selected as study eye.

Mixed-effect model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis was used. Study eye was defined as the eye that meets the entry criteria. If both the eyes met all of the entry criteria, the eye with worse BCVA at baseline (Day 1) was selected. If BCVA values for both eyes were identical then participant had to select the non-dominant eye, or else right eye was selected as study eye. PP population included all randomized and treated participants without any protocol deviations that impacted the primary efficacy variable and with treatment compliance to represent the intended regimen adequately. Number analyzed is the number of participants with available data.

    Mean Change from Baseline in Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) in the Study Eye
    End point description
    CRT was assessed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), a non-invasive diagnostic system that provides high-resolution imaging sections of the retina. SD-OCT was performed in the study eye after pupil dilation. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement and a positive change from baseline indicates worsening. Study eye is defined as the eye that meets the entry criteria. If both the eyes met all of the entry criteria, the eye with worse BCVA at baseline (Day 1) was selected. If BCVA values for both eyes were identical then participant had to select the non-dominant eye, or else right eye was selected as study eye. MMRM analysis was used. Intent-to-treat (ITT) Population included all randomized participants. Number analyzed is the number of participants with available data.

    BCVA was measured using an eye chart and is reported as number of letters read correctly using the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. The percentage of participants with a BCVA gain of more than 15 letters are noted. Study eye was defined as the eye that meets the entry criteria. If both the eyes met all of the entry criteria, the eye with worse BCVA at baseline (Day 1) was selected.

    Mean Change from Baseline in the National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire-25 (NEI-VFQ-25) Composite Score
    End point description
    NEI-VFQ-25 consists of 25 vision-targeted questions that represent 11 vision-related quality of life subscales and one general health item. Responses of individual participants were recorded as scores that ranged between 0 (worst) to 100 (best vision related function) with higher scale indicating better vision. Overall composite score is then calculated by averaging over all 11 vision-targeted subscale scores, excluding general health score. Overall composite score was calculated based on mean of non-missing subscales. Study eye: eye that meets entry criteria. If both eyes met all of entry criteria, eye with worse BCVA at baseline (day 1) was selected. If BCVA values for both eyes were identical then participant had to select non-dominant eye, or else right eye was selected as study eye. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement. MMRM analysis was used. ITT population included all randomized participants. Number analyzed is the number of participants with available data.

    Date
    Amendment
    13 Mar 2015
    Following changes were implemented with Amendment 1: •Moved Ocular Exclusion Criteria (Either Eye) to immediately follow General Exclusion Criteria •Revised exclusion criterion 8: Active ocular/intraocular infection at baseline (day 1) •Revised exclusion criterion 9: History of recurrent or currently active ocular/intraocular inflammation (eg, uveitis) at baseline (day 1) •Added ocular exclusion criterion 10: History or clinical evidence of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema (DME) or any retinal vascular disease other than age-related macular degeneration (AMD) at screening •Reorganized list of Ocular Exclusion Criteria (Study Eye) •Added ocular exclusion criterion (study eye) 11: Presence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) other than AMD at screening •Added ocular exclusion criterion (study eye) #16: Prior use of ocular anti-VEGF agents for neovascular eye diseases other than AMD •Clarified pre-treatment administration preparation protocol to include use of 5% povidone iodine irrigation/saline flush, periocular 10% povidone iodine, topical antibiotics instilled 15, 10, and 5 minutes prior to treatment administration, and topical anesthesia. Removed dispensing of participants administered antibiotic drops •Revised Randomization/Stratification as follows: participants were randomized by region to 3 treatment groups (2Q8, 2Q12, and rQ4). Within each region, allocation to treatment groups was stratified by the following 3 factors using at a ratio of 1:1:1 •Added draw blood samples for immunogenicity analysis (Week 4 only) •Removed National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire (25 questions) (NEI-VFQ-25) vision related subscale scores from secondary analyses •Modified footnote g to require immunogenicity sample collection when a significant treatment-related adverse event is noted •Added footnote p: “Visit dates and visit windows are calculated from actual date of baseline study treatment administration”.
    28 Apr 2016
    Following changes were implemented with Amendment 2: •Study duration from 100 to 104 weeks throughout protocol •Revised inclusion criterion: Presence of active subfoveal and/or juxtafoveal CNV secondary to AMD assessed by fluorescein angiogram. In addition, presence of retinal fluid on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and/or fluorescein leakage under the fovea as assessed by investigator at screening and confirmed by central reading center prior to baseline•Revised exclusion criterion: Active periocular, ocular, or /intraocular infection at baseline•Revised exclusion criterion: Previous or concurrent macular laser treatment •Revised exclusion criterion: Structural damage to the center of macula that is likely to preclude improvement in BCVA assessed by investigator at screening and confirmed by central reading center prior to baseline including any of following: Macular hole stage 3 or 4 Atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) Retinal fibrosis or scarring •Added Week 104 as study exit or early termination visit, week 100 was a study assessment visit without study treatment for all treatment groups •Visit windows for Weeks 4 through 24, Weeks 28 through 48, Weeks 52 through 96, and Weeks 100 through 104/early exit has been changed from ±5 days to ±7 days; accompanying footnote “p” was updated to include that minimum interval between 2 study visits ≥ 20 days •Updated the minimum and maximum number of visits scheduled •Updated to include purpose of monitoring •Updated exclusion criterion to refer to povidone iodine solution •Added clarification to criteria for escape to standard of care: Persistent fluid by OCT, judged to be cause of BCVA loss.
