Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Oral Minocycline in the Treatment of Geographic Atrophy Associated With Age-Related Macular Degeneration (NCT NCT02564978)

NCT ID: NCT02564978

Last Updated: 2025-11-18

Results Overview

The difference in the square-root transformed GA area expansion rates in the study eye based on fundus autofluorescence (FAF) between the treatment phase (Month 9 to Month 33) and the run-in phase (baseline to Month 9) was compared using a linear spline regression model with a fixed knot at Month 9, at a Type I error rate of 2.5%.

Participant Flow

Up to forty-five (45) participants with unilateral or bilateral geographic atrophy (GA) associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) will be enrolled. Up to an additional 15 participants may be enrolled to replace participants who withdraw from the study prior to reaching the Month 33 visit. Participants with GA in at least one eye that is associated with AMD were enrolled. Enrollment closed at the National Eye Institute and Bristol Eye Hospital on December 31, 2019.

Participants must have at least one eye meeting all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria as defined in the protocol. For participants with two qualifying eyes, the fellow (non-study) eye will be noted as a "qualifying fellow eye." All eligible participants undergo treatment starting at Month 9 (e.g., are a part of the "Minocycline" group). The IP used in the study is oral minocycline and is not anticipated to differentially treat participant eyes.

Measure
Minocycline
Oral administration of minocycline. Minocycline: Participants underwent a nine-month run-in phase without taking minocycline. At Month 9, they were instructed to begin taking 100 mg of oral minocycline twice daily until study termination, after a minimum of 36 months on IP. Starting at Month 9 and continuing at Month 12, a three-month supply was dispensed to the participant during the study visit or mailed to the participant. Starting at Month 15 participants received two bottles for a six-month supply. Participants were required to bring their bottles of IP to each appropriate visit for capsule counts for compliance monitoring. Participants could complete participation in the study and discontinue treatment as early as Month 45 (36 months of treatment phase). At the conclusion of the study, participants were no longer eligible to receive IP under this protocol.
