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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate that KSI-301 5 mg is non-inferior to aflibercept 2 mg, with respect to the change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from Day 1 to the average of Weeks 40, 44 and 48.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study followed the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed during the conduct of the trial. At the Investigator's discretion, treatment with pan-retinal photocoagulation laser.

Sham injections will be administered at each monthly visit where an active treatment is not administered. Aflibercept: Intravitreal Injection Sham Procedure: The sham is a procedure that mimics an intravitreal injection. It involves pressing the blunt end of an empty syringe (without a needle) against the anesthetized eye. It will be administered to participants in both treatments arms at applicable visits to maintain masking.

    Reporting group title
    Aflibercept (Treatment Group B)
    Reporting group description
    Intravitreal injection of aflibercept (2 mg) once every 4 weeks for 3 monthly doses followed by intravitreal injection of aflibercept (2 mg) once every 8 weeks from Week 16 to Week 44. Sham injections will be administered at each monthly visit where an active treatment is not administered. Aflibercept: Intravitreal Injection Sham Procedure: The sham is a procedure that mimics an intravitreal injection. It involves pressing the blunt end of an empty syringe (without a needle) against the anesthetized eye. It will be administered to participants in both treatments arms at applicable visits to maintain masking.
