Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Macular Degeneration

Intervention: 400 µg Brimonidine Tartrate Implant (Drug); 200 µg Brimonidine Tartrate Implant (Drug); Sham (no implant) (Other)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Allergan

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Medical Director, Study Director, Affiliation: Allergan

Summary

Stage 1 is a patient-masked, dose-escalation, safety evaluation of brimonidine intravitreal implant. Patients will receive implant in one eye and "sham" treatment (meaning no treatment) in the fellow eye. Stage 2 will begin after 1 month of safety has been evaluated for Stage 1. Stage 2 is a randomized, double-masked, dose-response, sham-controlled evaluation of the safety and efficacy of brimonidine intravitreal implant in patients with geographic atrophy from age-related macular degeneration. Patients will be followed for up to 2 years.
