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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Fovista (E10030 or pegpleranib) intravitreous administration when administered in combination with Avastin compared to Avastin monotherapy in subjects with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
    Protection of trial subjects
    All subjects signed the informed consent before undergoing any study-related procedure. An independent data monitoring committee reviewed subject safety data during the course of the study.

    Subjects received the Avastin injection first (1.25 mg/eye), followed by the Fovista injection (1.5 mg/eye). Both active study drugs were administered as intravitreal injections. Subjects randomized to Fovista+Avastin received between 12 and 18 injections of Avastin 1.25 mg/eye and Fovista 1.5 mg/eye. Subjects were treated with study treatment, IVT Fovista in combination with IVT Avastin, every month for the first 6 doses (Day 1, Months 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) and every other month thereafter (i.e., every 2 months: Months 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17). During the non-treatment months, subjects could be treated according to the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA, hereafter referred to as VA) change from the prior visit.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The study was terminated early. Due to the small number of subjects enrolled and treated in the study, summary statistics of change in visual acuity over time was not conducted.

    AEs were reported on the safety population (all subjects who received at least 1dose of study drug [Fovista,Avastin or Sham]). Subjects who have ever received an injection of Fovista were analyzed in the Fovista+Avastin group.Causally related occurrences included both events reported as: related to injection procedure and related to study drug

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Due to the early termination of the study and small number of subjects randomized and treated (N=29), none of the efficacy analyses (primary and secondary endpoints) planned in the protocol were conducted.
