Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Experimental: 36 mg/m2 Combretastin A-4 Phosphate
Drug: Combretastatin A-4 Phosphate
Combretastatin A-4 Phosphate is administered on Day 0 and Day 7 (+/- 2 days). If the treating ophthalmologist notes any leakage from CNV in the study eye on a fluorescein angiography during the study or an increase in subretinal fluid on an optical coherence tomography measurement, retreatment with Combretastatin A-4 Phosphate is recommended with up to 3 additional treatments. The retreatment visit(s) could occur during a scheduled visit or at an additional visit 1 week after a regular study visit. A post-retreatment follow-up visit is necessary.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Visual acuity line change from baseline at 3-month following
Time Frame: from baseline to 3 months

from baseline to 3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Visual acuity line change from baseline at 1 month follow-up
Time Frame: from baseline to 1 month

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
