Clinical Trial Summary

This is a phase I study evaluating safety and tolerability through the incidence of unexpected adverse events and IOP measurement, as well as through the incidence of stinging after its administration, compared to placebo.

Description:

The variables to be evaluated include:

Primary (safety):

• Unexpected adverse events

• IOP

Primary (tolerability):

• Stinging

Secondary (safety):

• Expected and related adverse events

• BCVA

• Ocular surface stining

Secondary (tolerability):

• Other ocular symptoms (foreign body sensation and tearing)

The operational definition states a difference under 15% in order to consider non inferior the safety and tolerability profile of PRO-232 compared to placebo.

Elimination Criteria

• Withdrawal of their consent to participate in the study (informed consent form).

• Occurrence of a serious adverse event, whether related or not to the interventions, that in the opinion of the principal investigator (PI) and/or the sponsor, could affect the patient's fitness to safely continue with the study procedures.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Incidence Unexpected Related Adverse Reactions	Any unfavorable medical condition affecting the subject after the administration of the investigation product, related to such intervention.	Days 0 (Basal Visit) 3 (Visit 1), 8 (Final Visit) and 12 (Safety Call)
Primary	Changes in intraocular pressure (IOP)	Previous instillation of topical anesthetic, the IOP (right eye) will be measured through a Goldmann tonometer during visits	Days 0 (Basal Visit) 3 (Visit 1), 8 (Final Visit)
Primary	Incidence of Stinging	The subjects will be questioned regarding this symptom's incidence (right eye), frecuency, duration and severity will not be considered, only its incidence will.	Days 0 (Basal Visit, 3 (Visit 1) and 8 (Final Visit)
Secondary	Incidence of Expected Related Adverse Events	Incidence of expexted related adverse events according to those previously described in bibliography: itching, blurry vision, eyelid pain, conjunctival hyperemia, ocular hypertension.	Days 0 (Basal Visit), 3 (Visit 1), 8 (Final Visit) and 12 (Safety Call)
Secondary	Changes in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)	BCVA will be evaluated through Snellen chart	Days 0 (Basal Visit), Days 3 (Visit 1) and 8 (Final Visit)
Secondary	Changes in the integrity of the ocular surface (fluorescein staining)	Changes in the integrity of the ocular surface using fluorescein staining and evaluated through the Oxford scale. The standard Oxford scale for fluorescein staining has the following criteria: Grade 0- Equal to or less than panel A; Grade I- Equal to or less than panel B, greater than panel A; Grade II- Equal to or less than panel C, greater than panel B; Grade III- Equal or less than panel D, greater than panel C; Grade IV- Equal or less than panel E, greater than panel D; Grade V- Greater than panel E.	Days 0 (Basal Visit), Days 3 (Visit 1) and 8 (Final Visit)
Secondary	Incidence of ocular symptoms (foreign body sensation and tearing)	The subjects will be questioned regarding this symptoms' incidence.	Days 0 (Basal Visit), 3 (Visit 1), 8 (Final Visit)
