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.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 2 study. During Screening, every patient will receive a run-in injection of aflibercept. On Day 1, patients will be randomized to either the UBX1325 arm or the aflibercept arm. Patients randomized to the UBX1325 arm will receive UBX1325 on Day 1, Weeks 4, 24, and 28; and sham procedure on Weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, and 40. Patients randomized to the active-control aflibercept arm will receive aflibercept per label every 8 weeks starting from day 1 until Week 40. In addition, these patients will receive UBX1325 on Week 24 and Week 32; and a sham procedure at Week 4 and Week 28.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

50 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients aged ≥50 years.
  • Active CNV associated with age-related macular degeneration as evidenced on FA and SD-OCT with presence of intraretinal or subretinal fluid at Screening and Day 1
  • BCVA in the study eye (most affected) of 70 to 20 ETDRS letters (equivalent to 20/40 to 20/400 on the Snellen chart) at Screening.
  • Patients who have the capacity to give informed consent and who are willing and able to comply with all study-related procedures and assessments.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Concurrent disease in the study eye or structural damage, other than wet AMD, that could compromise BCVA, prevent BCVA improvement, require medical or surgical intervention during the study period, confound interpretation of the results, or interfere with assessment of toxicity or CFP in the study eye.
  • Any ocular/intraocular/periocular infection or inflammation in either eye in the past 12 weeks prior to screening
  • Subretinal hemorrhage with bleeding area of 4 or greater disc area in the study eye
  • History of vitreous hemorrhage in the study eye within 2 months prior to Screening
  • Any condition, including laboratory findings and findings in the medical history or in the pre-study assessments, that, in the opinion of the Investigator, constitutes a risk or contraindication for participation in the study or that could interfere with the study objectives, conduct, or evaluation or prevent the patient from fully participating in all aspects of the study
  • Significant media opacities, including cataract, which might interfere with VA, assessment of toxicity, or fundus imaging

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

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.
