Participant Flow

Phase I: 15 subjects took escalating ALA doses (600mg, 800mg, 1200mg). 1 subject withdrew after 800mg due to wanting to delay start of 1200mg dose beyond planned completion date. Phase II: 52 subjects randomized to placebo or 1200mg ALA. 1 subject died due to unrelated event and was replaced in study; thus, 53 total subjects were enrolled.

Measure
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) 600, 800, 1200 mg
Phase I: All subjects recruited to the Phase I part will take escalating doses of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) open label. Each enrolled subject will take 600 mg of oral ALA once daily with a meal for 5 days. If well-tolerated, each subject will then take 800 mg of oral ALA once daily with a meal for 5 additional days. If 800 mg of oral ALA is well-tolerated, then subjects will then take 1200 mg of oral ALA once daily with a meal for 5 days.
Placebo 1200mg
Phase II: All subjects in Phase II will be double blinded and randomized to either placebo or ALA. Each will take one 600 mg capsule of ALA (or placebo) once daily with a meal for 2 weeks and then increase to two 600 mg capsules of ALA (or placebo) once daily with a meal for the entire remainder of the 18 month period of the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months

Population: Phase II: 52 subjects randomized to placebo or 1200mg ALA. 1 subject died due to unrelated event and was replaced in study; thus, 53 total subjects were enrolled, but 52 subjects were analyzed in this outcome.

The rate of change over time in area of Geographic Atrophy (GA) in the study eye. This is determined by masked grading of Fundus Autofluorescence by an image reading center, in participants randomized to placebo or 1200 mg once daily of ALA. The values represent the annualized change from baseline to 18 months. Mean annual geographic atrophy growth rate was calculated by taking the total atrophy area at 18 months minus the baseline area. This value was then divided by 18 months and then multiplied by 12 months to get the annual growth rate. Timepoints for the study were baseline, 0, 6, 12, and 18 months. The baseline and 18 month timepoints were used for the annualized calculations as noted below.

The rate of change over time in area of Geographic Atrophy (GA) in the study eye. This is determined by masked grading of Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF) by an image reading center, in participants randomized to placebo or 1200 mg once daily of ALA. The values represent the annualized change from baseline to 18 months. Mean annual geographic atrophy growth rate was calculated by taking the total atrophy area at 18 months minus the baseline area. This value was then divided by 18 months and then multiplied by 12 months to get the annual growth rate. For square root transformed data, the square root of area was used. Timepoints for the study were baseline, 0, 6, 12, and 18 months. The baseline and 18 month timepoints were used for the annualized calculations as noted below.

Unit of Measure. Mean annual change in best-corrected visual acuity was calculated by taking the letter score at 18 months minus the baseline letter score. This value was then divided by 18 months and then multiplied by 12 months to get the mean annual change in visual acuity. Timepoints for the study were baseline, 0, 6, 12, and 18 months. The baseline and 18 month timepoints were used for the annualized calculations as noted below.
