Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This is a Phase 2, prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled 104-week study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of orally delivered CT1812 compared to placebo in participants with GA associated with dry AMD.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop your current medications. However, your treatment for other chronic conditions must be stable for at least 30 days before screening.

What data supports the idea that Oral CT1812 for Age-Related Macular Degeneration is an effective treatment?

The available research does not provide specific data on the effectiveness of Oral CT1812 for Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Instead, it focuses on other treatments like pegaptanib and ranibizumab, which are used for the same condition. These studies discuss outcomes and effectiveness of these alternative treatments, but there is no direct information on Oral CT1812 in the provided research.

What safety data exists for CT1812 in treating age-related macular degeneration?

The provided research does not contain any safety data for CT1812, CT-1812, or Elayta in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration. The studies focus on other treatments such as pegaptanib and abicipar pegol, and the repurposing of other drugs for AMD.

Is the drug CT1812 a promising treatment for age-related macular degeneration?

The drug CT1812, also known as Elayta, is considered promising for treating age-related macular degeneration because it is being actively studied in clinical trials, which suggests it has potential benefits for patients with this eye condition.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for people over 50 with a specific eye condition called Geographic Atrophy due to dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Participants must have decent vision and stable health conditions. Those with recent eye surgeries, other serious eye diseases, or allergies to study drugs can't join.

Inclusion Criteria

I am 50 years old or older.
BCVA of 24 letters or better using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts
My medication for other chronic conditions has been stable for at least 30 days.

Exclusion Criteria

My vision loss is not due to dry age-related macular degeneration.
I have a retinal disease that is not dry age-related macular degeneration.
I have an eye condition that might need surgery soon.

Participant Groups

The study tests the effectiveness of an oral drug named CT1812 against a placebo in improving this eye condition. It's a double-masked trial, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the real drug or placebo during the 104-week study.

Repurposing Drugs for Treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration. [2023]The need for new drugs to treat dry forms of age-related macular degeneration remains high. A promising approach is repurposing of FDA-approved medications to treat AMD. Databases containing medical and drug records allow for retroactive identification of drugs whose use correlates with reduced AMD diagnosis. This short review summarizes progress in several classes of drugs considered for repurposing: GPR-143 agonists (L-DOPA), anti-diabetic drugs (metformin, acarbose, empagliflozin, fenofibrate), mitochondrial activators (PU-91), and serotonin pathway drugs (fluoxetine, flibanserin, xaliproden, buspirone). The promises and caveats of repurposing are discussed herein.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration Staging by Color Fundus Photography vs. Multimodal Imaging-Epidemiological Implications (The Coimbra Eye Study-Report 6). [2020]Epidemiology of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is based on staging systems relying on color fundus photography (CFP). We aim to compare AMD staging using CFP to multimodal imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT), infra-red (IR), and fundus autofluorescence (FAF), in a large cohort from the Epidemiologic AMD Coimbra Eye Study. All imaging exams from the participants of this population-based study were classified by a central reading center. CFP images were graded according to the International Classification and Grading System for AMD and staged with Rotterdam classification. Afterward, CFP images were reviewed with OCT, IR, and FAF and stage update was performed if necessary. Early and late AMD prevalence was compared in a total of 1616 included subjects. In CFP-based grading, the prevalence was 14.11% for early AMD (n = 228) and 1.05% (n = 17) for late AMD, nine cases (0.56%) had neovascular AMD (nAMD) and eight (0.50%) geographic atrophy (GA). Using multimodal grading, the prevalence increased to 14.60% for early AMD (n = 236) and 1.61% (n = 26) for late AMD, with 14 cases (0.87%) of nAMD and 12 (0.74%) of GA. AMD staging was more accurate with the multimodal approach and this was especially relevant for late AMD. We propose that multimodal imaging should be adopted in the future to better estimate and compare epidemiological data in different populations.
