Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of P-321 Ophthalmic Solution in subjects with mild to moderate dry eye disease.
Detailed Description
This is a single-center, dose escalation, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, Phase 1/2a trial designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of P-321 Ophthalmic Solution in subjects with mild to moderate dry eye for up to 4-weeks of treatment and up to 8 scheduled in clinic visits. This study will conduct a consecutive dose escalation of the following concentrations of P-321 Ophthalmic Solution given two times a day via ocular instillation: 0.0005% (Cohort 1), 0.0015% (Cohort 2), 0.005% (Cohort 3), and 0.01% (Cohort 4). Up to 48 subjects will be enrolled in four consecutive cohorts. Subjects will be randomized to P-321 Ophthalmic Solution or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. Safety and tolerability assessments, drug plasma concentrations and drug urine concentrations will be evaluated throughout the study in all cohorts.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Individuals of both genders and any race will be eligible for study participation if they:
- •Provide written informed consent.
- •Are 18 - 80 years of age.
- •Corneal fluorescein staining score ≥2/15 on the NEI/Industry scale
- •Conjunctival lissamine staining score of ≥ 2/18 on the NEI/Industry scale

- •Female patients of child bearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at Screening and agree to use a medically acceptable form of birth control. Male subjects who are sexually active must be willing to use highly effective contraception (i.e., less than 1% failure rate) during heterosexual intercourse from Day 1 through completion of the study.
- •Have a history of Dry Eye Disease in both eyes supported by a previous clinical diagnosis or have a self-reported history of subjective complaints for at least 4 months prior to Screening, low tear volume, and ocular staining.
- •Have documented history of topical lubricants at least daily or the desire to use topical lubricants in the past 4 months.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Individuals are not eligible for study participation if:
- •Have anterior segment eye disease except primary dry eye.
- •Patients with an identifiable or suspected secondary dry eye, i.e., a documented or likely systemic, ocular, pharmacologic, post-traumatic, post-surgical, or external cause for dry eye symptoms or ocular surface staining.
- •Patients with current punctal plugs, punctal occlusion, or history of nasolacrimal duct obstruction are excluded.
- •Have a history of glaucoma or intraocular pressure (IOP) \> 25 mmHg at the Screening Visit (Visit 1) or a history of elevated IOP within the past year prior to Visit 1
- •Contact lenses wear in the previous 30 days or during the Treatment Phase of the study.
- •Use of lid scrubs (including baby shampoos)
- •Known hypersensitivity to the study investigational medicinal product, or formulation excipients, including amiloride or related drugs or allergies to the components of the study drug.
- •Any significant chronic illness that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator (PI), could interfere with the study parameters.
- •Use of any investigational product or device within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit or during the study.
