Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Study to Investigate Safety and Efficacy of GSK933776 in Adult Patients With Geographic Atrophy Secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration (NCT NCT01342926)

This study was a parallel-group randomized study consisted of a screening visit, where 240 participants entered the observation period (minimum of 4 months), a Baseline visit at the end of observation phase, where 191 were randomized, and was followed by the treatment period (18 months), and a follow-up visit (3 months) after last dose.

The total duration of participation was approximately 25 months following screening.

Clinical Study to Investigate Safety and Efficacy of GSK933776 in Adult Patients With Geographic Atrophy Secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration

Atrophic age-related macular degeneration (AMD) also called GA is characterized by thinning of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and underlying choriocapillaris, as well as overlying photoreceptors in the macula. GA was evaluated by color FP at the indicated time points: screening, 6 months, 12 months and 18 months. Change from BL: (screening, month 6, 12 or 18 value minus BL value. Note screening occurs prior to BL). Only participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X, X in the category titles). Efficacy Population: all participants in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population who met the protocol defined inclusion criterion for area of GA assessed by color FP in the study eye in at least one visit from screening visit through BL visit, inclusive and had data of area of GA assessed by fundus autofluorescence images in the study eye for at least 75% of the visits (\>=14 visits) from post-BL treatment month 2 visit to treatment month 19 visit.

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. It includes:1. Any abnormal laboratory test results or other safety assessments including those that worsen from Baseline, and felt to be clinically significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the Investigator 2.Exacerbation (increase in frequency/intensity) of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition 3. New conditions detected or diagnosed after screening visit 4. Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected interaction/suspected overdose of investigational product or a concomitant medication. AEs were presented as non-ocular and ocular AEs.

Vital signs included SBP and DBP of Potential Clinical Importance (PCI) at the indicated time points: Baseline, month 0, month 1, month 2, month 3, month 4, month 5, month 6, month 7, month 8, month 9, month 10, month 11, month 12, month 13, month 14, month 15, month 16, month 17, month 18, early withdrawal and at follow-up visit in sitting position. 'General' is an assessment time not relative to dosing. SBP was defined as: low: \<85 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) and high: \>160 mmHg and DBP was defined as: low:\<45 mmHg and high: \>100 mmHg. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X, X in the category titles). Only categories with at least one PCI value are presented.

Vital signs included HR of CCR at the indicated time points: Baseline, Month 0, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, Month 6, Month 7, Month 8, Month 9, Month 10, Month 11, Month 12, Month 13, Month 14, Month 15, Month 16, Month 17, Month 18, early withdrawal and at follow-up visit in sitting position. 'General' is an assessment time not relative to dosing. HR was defined as: low:\< 40 beats per minute (bpm) and high: \>100 bpm. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X, X in the category titles). Only categories with at least one PCI value are presented.

12-lead ECG was obtained after 10 minutes rest in a supine position using an ECG machine that automatically calculates the heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT, and QT interval corrected using the Fridericia's formula (QTcF). Abnormal-clinically significant (CS) ECG measurements are presented at indicated time points: Baseline, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18, early withdrawal and at follow-up visit. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X, X in the category titles).

The following laboratory parameters were assessed: Hematology: Platelet Count, Red Blood Cell Count, White Blood Cell (WBC) Count, Reticulocyte Count, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Prothrombin time-International Normalized Ratio, Activated partial thromboplastin time, Mean corpuscular volume, Mean corpuscular haemoglobin, Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, Neutrophils (ANC), Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, and Basophils. Clinical chemistry: Blood urea nitrogen, Potassium, Aspartate aminotransferase, Total and direct bilirubin Creatinine, Chloride, Alanine aminotransferase, Uric Acid, Glucose (fasting), Total Carbon dioxide , Gamma glutamyltransferase, Albumin, Sodium, Calcium, Alkaline phosphatase, Total Protein, and HbA1c. Urine: Specific gravity, pH, glucose, protein, blood and ketones and Microscopic examination. Only those with PCIs are displayed.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was used as a safety assessment to monitor for amyloid related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) events in the brain. MRIs were performed at Baseline and before dose 2, before dose 3, before dose 4, before dose 6, before dose 12, before dose 18 and at follow-up. ARIA-edema/effusions (ARIA-E) and ARIA hemosiderin deposition (ARIA-H) events at any visit are reported.

Atrophic AMD also called as GA is characterized by thinning of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and underlying choriocapillaris, as well as overlying photoreceptors in the macula. GA was evaluated by fundus autofluorescence images in the study eye at the indicated time points: screening, 6 months, 12 months and at 18 months. Change from Baseline: (months 6, 12,18 value minus Baseline value, respectively. Note screening occurs before baseline). Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X, X in the category titles).

Participants enrolled into the study were required to have a best-corrected ETDRS visual acuity score of at least 35 letters as determined by ETDRS-BCVA evaluation. ETDRS-BCVA score was assessed at the indiated time points at: Month 12 and Month 18 with categorical changes in the number of participants losing \>30, \>=15, \>=10, \>=5 and \<5 letters.

Participants enrolled into the study were required to have a best-corrected ETDRS visual acuity score of at least 35 letters as determined by ETDRS-BCVA evaluation. ETDRS-BCVA score was assessed as change from baseline in the mean best-corrected ETDRS visual acuity score at 18 months. Change from Baseline is defined as post-dose visit value minus Baseline value. Note that screening occurs before baseline. Values were truncated to one decimal place and negative sign retained where value is negative and the truncated value is zero. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X, X in the category titles).

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the end of dosing interval at steady-state; derived from dose and clearance parameters was evaluated. Blood samples were collected at the indicated time points on Day 56, Day 63, 70 or 77, Day 84, Day 112, Day 140, Day 224, Day 308, Day 392 and Day 476.
