Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Mean Reduction From Baseline in Central Subfield (CSF) Retinal Thickness at Week 4
Week 4

The thickness of the retina was measured using a non-invasive device that produces cross-sectional and 3D images of the eye. The reduction was calculated by subtracting Week 4 visit value from the Baseline value. A positive number indicates a reduction in thickness compared to baseline, whereas a negative number indicates an increase in thickness. An increase in thickness as compared to baseline may indicate a progression of the underlying disease.

Incidence of Events of Special Interest (ESI)
Up to Day 30

An ESI was a protocol-specified event of scientific and medical concern specific to the Sponsor's product or program where ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the Investigator to the Sponsor was appropriate. These adverse events could have been serious or nonserious and may have required further investigation in order to characterize and understand.

Frequently asked questions about AL-78898A

What is AL-78898A used for?

AL-78898A is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration, a condition that causes abnormal blood vessel growth and fluid leakage in the retina, leading to vision loss. It is currently in clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

Who makes AL-78898A?

AL-78898A is being developed by Alcon Inc., a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ALC. Alcon is a global medical device and pharmaceutical company focused on eye care, and it is conducting clinical research on this investigational therapy for exudative age-related macular degeneration.

What phase is AL-78898A in?

AL-78898A is in Phase 2 clinical development. A Phase 2 trial has been completed, and the drug remains investigational, meaning it has not yet received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory bodies for commercial use.

What clinical trials is AL-78898A in?

AL-78898A has one completed Phase 2 clinical trial registered under the identifier NCT01157065. This trial, titled 'Evaluation of AL-78898A in Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration,' enrolled 99 participants in the United States and was a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study.

Is AL-78898A the same as any other drug?

No alternative names for AL-78898A have been reported in clinical trial records. The drug is identified solely by its code name AL-78898A in the completed Phase 2 study for exudative age-related macular degeneration.
