Aqueous Humor Dynamics Of NCX 470 Ophthalmic Solution

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the action of NCX 470 ophthalmic solution, 0.1% on aqueous humor dynamic parameters in healthy volunteers or subjects with ocular hypertension (OHT).

 

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • ≥ 18 years of age on the date the informed consent form (ICF) is signed.
  • Either gender.
  • Subjects with two healthy eyes with the crystalline lens, without glaucoma or any other clinically significant eye diseases.
  • Intraocular pressure between 16 and 28 mmHg in both eyes between 9AM and 12PM (± 15 minutes) at the Screening Visit.
  • Be able and willing to provide signed informed consent and follow study instructions.
  • Ability to cooperate with the examinations required for the study and be able to attend all study visits.
  • If a contract lens wearer, willing to remove contact lenses 3 days prior to Visit 2 and not wear contact lenses for the remainder of the study.
  • Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart of +0.4 logMAR units (Snellen equivalent ~ 20/50) or better in each eye.

Exclusion Criteria: 

Ocular

  • Subjects with narrow angles (3 quadrants with less than Grade 2 according to Shaffer anterior angle graded system), angle closure or a history of angle closure, clinically significant peripheral anterior synechiae, or peripheral iridotomy in either eye.
  • Subjects with a central corneal thickness less than 480 µm or greater than 620 µm in either eye.
  • Chronic or recurrent inflammatory eye diseases in either eye.
  • Ocular infection or ocular inflammation in the past 3 months in either eye.
  • Ocular trauma other than corneal abrasion within the past 6 months in either eye.
  • Clinically significant retinal disease (e.g., severe diabetic retinopathy, exudative or severe non-exudative macular degeneration) in either eye.
  • Cornea pathologic changes preventing reliable measurement (e.g., scarring, opacity) in either eye.
  • Previous intraocular surgery or laser procedure in either eye.
  • Previous corneal refractive surgery in either eye.
  • Myopia greater than -6.00D, or hyperopia greater than +2.00D in either eye.
  • Severe dry eye in either eye.
  • Serious hypersensitivity to topical anesthetic eye drops.
  • Use of any topical ophthalmic medications other than lubricants and artificial tears within the 30 days prior to the Screening Visit or during the study, in either eye.
  • Lack of suitable episcleral vein for EVP measurement.

Systemic

  • If female, subjects must either be incapable of pregnancy because of bilateral oophorectomy, hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or be post-menopausal (have been amenorrheic for at least 2 years) or must use an effective (e.g., double barrier) method of birth control for the duration of the study. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and not be breastfeeding.
  • Participation in any interventional study within the past 30 days prior to Screening Visit.
  • Subjects with uncontrolled chronic diseases (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension/diabetes).
  • Using medications that are known to affect IOP, EVP, and aqueous flow rate within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit and during the study including: systemic/inhaled steroids, β-adrenergic antagonists, α-adrenergic agonists and antagonists, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, and vasodilators (e.g., nitroglycerin, sildenafil/tadalafil).
  • Using marijuana or marijuana derivatives.
  • Subjects with known contraindications to NO treatments (e.g., alcohol abuse).
  • Subjects with a known hypersensitivity or contraindications to any of the ingredients in the study medications.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
