A Study Investigating the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Elamipretide Topical Ophthalmic Solution for Treatment of Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy

Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Clinical Trial

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Masked, Vehicle Controlled, Phase 2 Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Elamipretide Topical Ophthalmic Solution in Subjects With Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase 2, prospective, randomized, double-masked, vehicle controlled, single-center study in approximately 12 subjects with LHON to evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of elamipretide (MTP-131) topical ophthalmic solution in this patient population. At the conclusion of 52 weeks of treatment, subjects will be offered the opportunity to enter an Open Label Extension for up to 48 additional weeks of treatment.

Clinical Trial Description

This was a prospective, randomized, double-masked (DM), vehicle-controlled, single-center study plus open label extension period (OLE) in which approximately 12 subjects with LHON having the genetic mtDNA mutation m.11778G>A were randomized in a masked manner into 1 of 3 groups in a 1:1:1 ratio: one drop of elamipretide 1.0% topical ophthalmic solution twice daily (BID) in the: left eye, right eye, or both eyes.

After completion of the 52-week treatment period or the Week 56 follow-up period, subjects were invited to participate in the OLE period for up to 108 weeks. During the OLE participants received 1% topical opthalmic elamipretide in both eyes (OU) daily. If a subject did not consent to the OLE, he/she completed the study at the Week 56 (±7 days) visit. There were 4 periods in this study: (1) screening period (up to 6 weeks); (2) double-masked treatment period (52 weeks); (3) OLE period (up to 108 weeks), and (4) follow-up period (4 weeks) after completion of End-of-Treatment (EOT) visit. ;
