Study Summary

This trial studies a new medicine for age-related macular degeneration. Participants get 1-2 injections of BI 771716 directly in the eye & doctors track their health.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 50 with geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration can join this study. They must have a certain level of vision in the affected eye and better vision in the other eye. Men who can father children must use effective birth control, and all participants need to sign informed consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how well different doses of BI 771716 are tolerated when injected into the eye of patients with geographic atrophy. Part 1 involves one injection over three months, while Part 2 includes two injections four weeks apart over four months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since BI 771716 is being given to humans for the first time, specific side effects are not listed but will be monitored by doctors throughout the study as they assess general health.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there still spots open for participants in this clinical trial?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov details that this clinical trial is welcoming participants, with the first post date being September 12th 2023 and an update on September 29th of the same year. 24 patients must be recruited from 7 sites to complete the study."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA granted approval for BI 771716's single rising dose (SRD part) regimen of low-dose treatment?

"The safety of the BI 771716 low dose treatment group (Single rising dose (SRD part)) was assigned a score of 1 as it is in Phase 1 trials, with limited evidence supporting its efficacy and safety."

Answered by AI

What is the cap for participants in this research endeavor?

"To be successful, this trial necessitates the recruitment of 24 qualified participants. The sponsor, Boehringer Ingelheim is running it remotely from Retina Associates in Lenexa and Verum Research located in Eugene respectively."

Answered by AI

How many separate sites are managing this clinical trial?

"Patients are being accepted at Retina Associates, LLC in Lenexa, Kansas; Verum Research, LLC in Eugene, Oregon; Erie Retina Research, LLC in Erie Pennsylvania and 7 other medical centres."

Answered by AI

What is the purpose of this clinical trial?

"The primary goal of this clinical trial, to be assessed over a period up to 112 days, is the appearance of ocular dose limiting events (DLEs) post-administration until Day 8. In addition, secondary objectives involve obtaining time from dosing to highest serum concentration of BI 771716 (tmax), evaluating BI 771716 blood levels (MD part), and monitoring for any adverse effects in the observed eye after administration until conclusion of study (SRD part)."
