Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Patients With 15 or More Letter Improvement in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in the Study Eye
Baseline, 6 Months

BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters). The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. The numbers of patients with at least a 15 or more letter improvement in BCVA in the study eye are presented.

Cumulative Response Rate of 15 or More Letter Improvement
Up to 180 Days

The cumulative response rate of 15 or more letter improvement was based on the Kaplan-Meier estimate. A Kaplan-Meier analysis takes into account patients who dropped out from the study prior to achieving the 15 letter improvement. Values ranged from 0-1, with a higher number indicating a higher probability of response.

Frequently asked questions about 700 μg Dexamethasone

What is 700 μg Dexamethasone used for?

700 μg Dexamethasone is an investigational small molecule developed for the treatment of macular edema, including macular edema following retinal vein occlusion. It is being studied in Phase 3 clinical trials. It is not described as approved, so it remains in clinical development for this ophthalmology indication.

Who makes 700 μg Dexamethasone?

700 μg Dexamethasone is being developed by AbbVie Inc., which trades under the ticker ABBV. AbbVie is the sponsor associated with the clinical development program for this ophthalmology asset.

What phase is 700 μg Dexamethasone in?

700 μg Dexamethasone is in Phase 3 clinical development. Three Phase 3 trials have been completed, and there are currently no active trials listed. The program has enrolled a total of 1,529 participants across randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled studies.

What clinical trials is 700 μg Dexamethasone in?

Three completed Phase 3 trials have studied 700 μg Dexamethasone: NCT01660802 in China with 262 participants, NCT00168324 with 599 participants across multiple countries, and NCT00168298 with 668 participants across multiple countries. All three evaluated macular edema, with the latter two also enrolling patients with retinal vein occlusion.

How is 700 μg Dexamethasone studied in clinical trials?

The Phase 3 trials of 700 μg Dexamethasone were randomized, double-blind, and sham-controlled, enrolling adults 18 years and older of all sexes. The studies were conducted in patients with macular edema, including cases following retinal vein occlusion, and no biomarker selection was used.
