Safety and Efficacy Study of RPh201 Treatment of Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (ION).

March 9, 2020 updated by: Regenera Pharma Ltd

A Preliminary Double Blind Clinical Study, Efficacy Study of RPh201 Treatment of Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (ION).

The study objectives are to assess any changes in visual acuity and visual field observed following the administration of RPh201 during an overall treatment period of at least 13 consecutive weeks with an option to extended the treatment phase to another 13 weeks (26 weeks total), and at the follow-up visit at 3 month after end of treatment in patients with optic nerve neuropathy.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Increase From Baseline in ETDRS Letters Read at 26 Weeks and Off-drug Follow-up Visit
Time Frame: 26/39 weeks
Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was assessed at all the visits, with refraction as necessary. VA measurements were taken in a sitting position at a test distance of 4 meters using early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) charts.
26/39 weeks
Changes in Visual Field Observed Following the Treatment
Time Frame: 26 weeks
Visual field mean deviation (MD) changes from the screening at week 26 using with the HVF 24-2 FASTPAC program using the size III or Size V test stimulus
26 weeks
Changes Mean RNFL Thickness in NAION Eyes Change From Screening to Week 26
Time Frame: 26 weeks
TMean RNFL thickness measured by OCT. The data are in microns, as measured with an Opko OCT machine.
26 weeks

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events Assessed by Vital Signs, Clinical Laboratory and Physical Exam
Time Frame: 26/39 weeks
Safety and tolerability multiple ascending SC doses as assessed by adverse events, vital signs, clinical laboratory and physical exam
26/39 weeks
