Safety Study of a Single IVT Injection of QPI-1007 in Chronic Optic Nerve Atrophy and Recent Onset NAION Patients

Optic Atrophy Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase I Open-Label, Dose Escalation Trial of QPI-1007 Delivered by a Single Intravitreal Injection to Patients With Optic Nerve Atrophy (Stratum I) and Acute Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) (Stratum II)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is an open-label, dose escalation, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic study, where active study drug (QPI-1007) will be given to all patients who participate.

This study will determine whether QPI-1007 is safe when it is injected into the eye. The study will also reveal if there are any side effects of the drug and how long it takes for the body to clear the drug.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients will be enrolled according to one of two sets of criteria designated as Stratum I and Stratum II.

1. Stratum I will enroll Optic Nerve Atrophy patients who meet necessary criteria. Stratum I will consist of a maximum of 6 cohorts and each cohort will enroll 3 to 6 evaluable patients. Enrollment in Stratum I is now closed.

2. Stratum II will enroll patients diagnosed with acute Non Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) within 28 days of symptom onset who meet necessary criteria.
