Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability & PK of rhNGF in Healthy Volunteers

Healthy Volunteers Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase I, Randomized, Double-masked, Placebo-controlled Study (6 Days) to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Recombinant Human Nerve Growth Factor Eye Drops in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers of Japanese Ethnicity

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of a single short-term and a multiple dose scheme of rhNGF when administered as eye drops in healthy subjects of Japanese ethnicity.

The secondary objective of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of rhNGF when administered as eye drops in healthy subjects of Japanese ethnicity.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a Phase I, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled eye drops administration study of rhNGF in healthy male and female subjects of Japanese Ethnicity to evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Recombinant Human Nerve Growth Factor Eye Drops (rhNGF 20 μg/mL -formulation containing L-methionine as excipient) versus vehicle (vehicle control containing L-methionine as excipient) in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers of Japanese Ethnicity. The IMP was administered in the study Eye with the following scheme:

Day 1: One drop instilled into study eye (35 μL, corresponding to 0.70 μg of rhNGF).

Day 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: One drop six times a day (every 2h) into study eye (210 μL, corresponding to 4.20 μg of rhNGF).

Total dose in the study eye will be 31 drops (1085 μL, equivalent to 21.7 μg rhNGF) over 6 days.

The reference product (vehicle) was administered in the study eye with the following scheme:

Day 1: One drop instilled into study eye (35 μL, corresponding to 0 μg of rhNGF].

Day 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: One drop six times a day (every 2h) into study eye (210 μL, corresponding to 0 μg of rhNGF).

A total dose of placebo vehicle in the study eye will be 31 drops (1085 μL, 0 μg rhNGF) over 6 days.

For the Fellow (Non-Study) Eye for all subjects, the scheme was the following:

Day 1: One drop instilled into a fellow eye (35 μL, corresponding to 0 μg of rhNGF).

Day 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: One drop six times a day (every 2h) into a fellow eye (210 μL, corresponding to 0 μg of rhNGF).

A total dose of placebo vehicle in the fellow eye will be 31 drops (1085 μL, 0 μg rhNGF) over 6 days. ;
