Phase I Study of Episcleral Celecoxib for Treatment of Macular Edema &

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily the anti-inflammatory and anti-neovascular effect of Episcleral Celecoxib in patients suffering from macular edema and other inflammatory disorders of the retina, choroid and vitreous.

Clinical Trial Description

This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily anti-inflammatory/neovascular effect of Episcleral Celecoxib in patients suffering from macular edema & inflammatory disorders of the eye posterior pole Including sclera, choroid, retina, or vitreous. Celecoxib is a specific cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor that possesses anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic properties. Non-clinical studies have documented the activity of Celecoxib in reducing leakage of the blood-retina barrier as well as inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) expression in the retina of diabetic rats. The underlying mechanisms for its anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties have been extensively characterized. The investigators hypothesize that Episcleral Celecoxib is safe, tolerable and that its anti-inflammatory/anti-neovascular activity will reduce macular edema and improve vision in patients with macular edema. Objective: to primarily assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of Episcleral Celecoxib in patients with macular edema and other inflammatory disorders of the posterior pole including retina, choroid and vitreous to secondarily assess efficacy in reducing macular edema and improving visual function. Methods: The main outcome of the study is safety assessment. Secondary outcomes are assessment of visual acuity and anatomical changes in the macula as measured via optical coherence tomography (OCT). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
