Trial Outcomes & Findings for Use of Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) To Treat Age-Related Macular Degeneration (NCT NCT00220805)

NCT ID: NCT00220805

Last Updated: 2016-03-21

Results Overview

Using the LogMAR score, lower values correspond to higher visual acuity. For example, a visual acuity of 20/20 corresponds to a LogMAR value of zero (0), and a visual acuity of 20/100 corresponds to a LogMAR value of 0.7.

Recruitment status

Participant Flow

A total of 96 subjects were enrolled (signed the informed consent and screened) in this study at 6 German study centers.

Of the 96 enrolled subjects, 14 subjects withdrew their consent for participation before randomization and an additional 25 subjects were withdrawn before randomization because of violations of inclusion/exclusion criteria or because their angiograms were rejected by the central reading site as not meeting the pre-specified criteria.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At Week 12 or, if the Week 12 assessment is not available, at the last LogMAR assessment conducted at or after Week 8 of the Treatment Period

Population: The Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population consisted of all randomized subjects who received any amount of study medication and had at least one evaluation of the primary efficacy variable (LogMAR score) at Week 8 or later and at Baseline.

Using the LogMAR score, lower values correspond to higher visual acuity. For example, a visual acuity of 20/20 corresponds to a LogMAR value of zero (0), and a visual acuity of 20/100 corresponds to a LogMAR value of 0.7.

Population: Intent to Treat

The RADNER test gives not only information about the subject's reading performance, but also about the reading speed (life quality) and the faults while reading. The RADNER reading charts (1, 2, and 3) contain sentences in paragraphs having a range of print sizes starting with the largest print at the top.The subject was randomly assigned one of the RADNER charts, and the charts were different between consecutive visits. The reading distance was 25 cm. The subject's score was corrected for reading speed and errors. The range of possible logRAD scores was from 2.0 (could not read the first paragraph) to -0.2, with higher scores indicating lower reading acuity and lower scores indicating higher reading acuity.

Population: Intent to Treat subjects with cataract

The LOCS III scale for cortical cataract and posterior subcapsular cataract opacity ranged from 1.0 to 5.0. The LOCS III scale for nuclear opalescence and for nuclear color was 1.0 to 6.0. For all scales, higher values indicate higher opacity, opalescence, or color.
