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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The purpose of this study was to identify innovative early imaging parameters as predictors of the long-term clinical response to brolucizumab in terms of fluid resolution in patients with wAMD to evaluate their potential in supporting the choice of treatment regimen (q12w or q8w).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Potential predictor factors of fluid-free response: Type of predominant Basal Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) lesion type, as assessed by SD-OCT at Baseline - patients classified as not q12w fluid-free [3]
    End point description
    As assessed by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT). Percentages were computed on Safety Population within ‘No’ and ‘Yes’ groups according to q12w fluid free. Type 1 neovascularization arises when CNV proliferation occurs below the Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) and corresponds to occult CNV with a poorly defined pattern of leakage on fluorescein angiography (FA). Type 2 neovascularization refers to CNV proliferation above the RPE in the subretinal space and corresponds to classic CNV with intense fluorescein leakage. Type 3 neovascularization (or retinal angiomatous proliferation [RAP]) occurs when retinal circulation is involved, with an anastomosis between the choroidal and retinal circulations. Types 1-3 classification is a classification according to the type of anatomical lesion and is determined by multimodal imaging characteristics. Please note that by design, this is not a grading nor scores on a scale. PCV = Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy

    End point description
    Evaluate anxiety/depression in patients with wAMD treated with brolucizumab. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a fourteen-item scale that generates ordinal data. Seven items relate to anxiety and seven relate to depression. This patient-reported outcome measure was specifically developed to avoid reliance on anxiety/depression aspects which are also common somatic symptoms of illness, such as fatigue and insomnia or hypersomnia. Calculations of scores: each item is rated on a 4-point scale. The HADS consists of two sub-scores: the HAD-A for anxiety and HAD-D for depression. Each sub-score ranges from 0 to 21 points: scores ≥11 indicate the presence of an anxious or depressive disorder, scores between 8-10 points are borderline abnormal, and scores ≤7 indicate that an anxious or depressive disorder is not present.

It comprises the following five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels. i.e. no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems, corresponding to digit numbers ranging from 1 to 5. The EQ-5D-5L total score is determined through a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and ranges from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicative of a better health status.

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    11 May 2020
    Information was added to describe new safety signal from post- marketing case reports. Added CFP for basal lesion type definition. Added specification of other imaging modalities. Restrictions in the use of corticosteroids were removed to provide flexibility using systemic steroids for the treatment of AEs at the Investigator’s discretion. Additional guidance was added to this section emphasizing that if any sign of intraocular inflammation was present, an IVT injection could not be performed and patients should be treated for IOI according to clinical practice. Additional examination and assessments were included to fully characterize cases of intraocular inflammation. Changes were incorporated to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Clarification on timing for post-injection IOP measurement. Added clarification about discontinuation. Added specification on the anonymization of the images sent to the CRC.
    11 Nov 2021
    Information added to describe Urgent Safety Measures. Information added to describe Urgent Safety Measures and additional information on gender imbalance on IOI following brolucizumab treatment. Recommendations on the time window for a study subject to receive the COVID-19 vaccine or vitrectomy were added. Requirement of treatment discontinuation for brolucizumab was added if subject developed RV and/or RO. Clarified that when serum pregnancy test is positive brolucizumab treatment must be discontinued. Changes were made as follows: Subject developing retinal a vasculitis and/or a retinal vascular occlusion event with brolucizumab. Requirement of treatment discontinuation for brolucizumab was added if subject developed RV and/or RO. Clarified the definition of Withdrawal of Consent.
