Phase 1 Study for Safety and Tolerability of EBI-005 Topically Administered to Eyes of Healthy Adult Subjects

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Dry Eye
Interventions
Drug: EBI-005-1 Placebo
Registration Number
NCT01748578
Lead Sponsor
Eleven Biotherapeutics
Brief Summary

This is a First-In-Human (FIH) study to assess the safety and tolerability of ocular administration of EBI-005 in healthy volunteers. Additionally, the PK and immunogenicity of EBI-005 will be assessed.

Detailed Description

The planned dose levels are 5 mg/mL EBI-005 (Group 1) and 20 mg/mL EBI-005 (Group 2).

A total of 8 subjects will be dosed in each group with subjects randomized in a ratio of 6:2, EBI-005:placebo. Treatment administration in Group 2 will proceed following a review of safety data from Group 1. In both groups, subjects randomized to active treatment will receive EBI-005 in the right eye and placebo in the left eye. Subjects randomized to placebo will receive placebo in each eye.
