Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sunitinib Malate to Treat Advanced Eye Disease in Patients With Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome (NCT NCT00673816)

NCT ID: NCT00673816

Last Updated: 2024-01-05

Results Overview

Visual acuity was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol. Acuity is measured as letters read on an ETDRS eye chart and the letters read equate to Snellen measurements. For example, if a participant reads between 84 and 88 letters, the equivalent Snellen measurement is 20/20.

Participant Flow

The recruitment goal was to enroll five participants; however, the study was terminated after only two participants had been enrolled as a result of slow recruitment and adverse events. Date of enrollment of the first participant was December 10, 2008, and the study was terminated on December 1, 2010.

Sunitinib Malate
Participants were expected to receive 9 months of sunitinib malate therapy administered in 6 cycles. Each cycle consisted of a daily oral dose of 50 mg sunitinib malate for 4 weeks followed by a 2-week rest period). Only one participant remained in the study for the Week 36 measures.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 36 Weeks

Retinal thickness was assessed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (Cirrus HD-OCT; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA), a non-invasive imaging technique that uses long-wavelength light to capture micrometer-resolution cross-sectional images from biological tissue.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 36 Weeks

Population: Microperimetry was not accurate for any participants due to fixation issues so no data was collected. As such, zero participants were analyzed for this outcome.
