Phase I Study of Palomid 529 a Dual TORC1/2 Inhibitor of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway for Advanced Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Age-Related Macular Degeneration

In brief

Palomid 529 is a dual TORC1/2 inhibitor of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway having broad activity in angiogenesis and cellular proliferation. Palomid 529 will be examined to determine if the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of single ascending doses when administered intravitreally or subconjunctivally.

Who can join

Age: 50 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Best corrected visual acuity in the study eye between 20/100 and 20/800 (between 53 and 4 ETDRS letters read), and better or equal to 20/200 (minimum of 34 letters read) in the fellow eye.
• Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to AMD
• Total area of the lesion (including blood, neovascularization and scar/atrophy) must be < 12 DA.
• Only 1 eye will be treated in the study. If both eyes are eligible, the investigator will select the eye with the most active CNV
• Clear ocular media and adequate pupillary dilatation to permit good stereo fundus photography for screening
• Intraocular pressure of 21 mm Hg or less
• Retinal thickness ≥ 250 μm by OCT, with presence of intraretinal or subretinal fluid

You may not qualify if…

• Any retinovascular disease or retinal degeneration other than AMD
• Serous pigment epithelial detachment without the presence of neovascularization
• Previous posterior vitrectomy or retinal surgery
• Any periocular infection in the past 4 weeks
• Concomitant therapy with anti-VEGF therapies, e.g. Avastin, Lucentis or Macugen, or previous use of these agents within 60 days of screening
• Concomitant therapy with intravenous or intravitreous corticosteroids or use within 90 days of screening
• Significant media opacities, including cataract, which might interfere with visual acuity, assessment of toxicity, or fundus photography
• Cataract surgery in the study eye within 3 months of screening
• Intraocular surgery in the study eye within 3 months of screening
• Presence of ocular infection in the study eye
• Presence of severe myopia (-8 diopters or greater) in the study eye
