Serin- och fenofibratstudie på patienter med MacTel typ 2 (SAFE)

25 augusti 2026 uppdaterad av: The Lowy Medical Research Institute Limited

Fas 2a-studie av effekten av serintillskott och fenofibratbehandling på serumdeoxisfinganinnivåer hos patienter med makulär telangiektasi (MacTel) typ 2 (SAFE-studie)

This is a Phase 2a study of the effect of serine supplementation and fenofibrate treatment on serum deoxysphingolipid levels in patients with macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel). This study involves six arms. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following treatment groups: serine 200 mg/kg/day, serine 400 mg/kg/day, fenofibrate 160 mg/day, both serine 200 mg/kg/day and fenofibrate 160 mg/day, both serine 400 mg/kg/day and fenofibrate 160 mg/day, or no treatment (control group). Serum deoxysphingolipid levels will be used as the primary outcome, and safety will be evaluated. The participants will be followed for 10 weeks, with visits at Screening, Week 0, 3, 6 and 10.

Safety Assessment
Tidsram: Reported over the10 weeks from baseline to exit visit

Safety assessment measured via examined AEs and SAEs (during study visits) and via participant self-reported AEs and SAEs that occurred between visits

Reported over the10 weeks from baseline to exit visit
Percentage Change of Serum Deoxysphingolipid Levels From Baseline to 6 Weeks
Tidsram: Blood draw at baseline and 6 weeks on product

Percentage change in the sum of 7 different deoxy-dihydroceramides species detected. Negative values mean these metabolites decreased during the treatment period. Deoxy-sphingolipids were measured in serum using LC-MS.

Tidsram
Percentage Change in Serum Lipid Levels From Baseline to 6 Weeks
Tidsram: blood draws from baseline and week 6 on product

Percent changes in lipid levels measured between baseline and 6 weeks. These lipid levels were obtained from the local clinical lab at each site as part of a lipid panel. Negative values mean these metabolites decreased during the treatment period.

blood draws from baseline and week 6 on product
Percentage Change in Serum Serine and Glycine Levels From Baseline to 6 Weeks
Tidsram: blood draws from baseline and week 6 on product

Percentage change in fasting levels of the two amino acids serine and glycine. Serine supplementation is part of the treatment and glycine can be produced from serine by different cells in the body. Serine and glycine levels were measured from serum using LC-MS.
