Efficacy of IVMED-85 on Pediatric Myopia
- Registration Number
- NCT05761795
- Lead Sponsor
- iVeena Delivery Systems, Inc.
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a 1-year course of IVMED-85 eye drops for the treatment of pediatric myopia by assessing its safety effects on visual acuity and its effect on the change and/or progression of myopia.
The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
* Does IVMED 85 improve visual acuity
* Does IVMED 85 slow or otherwise change the progression of myopia
Participants will use eyedrops twice a day for one year. Researchers will compare IVMED 85 to a placebo.

To be considered for enrollment in the study, the patient must meet all of the following criteria:
- Age 5 to 16 years and 6 months, three age groups cohorts (5-8), (9-12), and (13-16) (Phase 1 patients will be exclusively age 13-16).
- Refractive error by cycloplegic refraction in both eyes: myopia -0.75 D to -9.75 D spherical equivalent; astigmatism ≤ 4.00D; anisometropia <3.00 D
- Best corrected distance visual acuity better than or equal to Snellen 20/40 (logMAR equivalent 0.3) in both eyes
- Kmax >40 D and <50 D in both eyes
- Minimum corneal thickness > 350 microns in both eyes
- Absence of ocular comorbidities (glaucoma, cataract, anterior segment dysgenesis, corneal scarring, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, lens subluxation, uveitis, collagen disorders (Ehlers-Danlos, Marfan's syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, retinal diseases) in both eyes
- Written informed consent from a parent or legal guardian and assent from participant
- Willing and able to comply with clinic visits and study-related procedures.
A patient who meets any of the following criteria, in either eye, will be excluded from the study:
- Current or previous myopia treatment with atropine, pirenzepine, or other topical anti-muscarinic

- Myopic degeneration with potential visual acuity worse than Snellen 20/40 (logMAR equivalent 0.3)
- Intraocular pressure >26 mmHg
- Medical conditions pre-disposing patient to degenerative myopia or abnormal ocular refractive anatomy (e.g., Stickler Syndrome, Down Syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, Ehler's-Danlos Syndrome, Retinopathy of Prematurity)
- Participation in a clinical trial with use of any investigational drug or treatment within 30 days prior to Visit 1
- Employees of the study site or their immediate families
- Pregnancy
- Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism
- Patient less than 17 Kg weight
- Planned ophthalmic surgery during the study
