Glaucoma Surgery Scarring Prevention Study

Conditions: PRM-151, a novel agent, is being developed for potential therapeutic uses to prevent, treat and reduce fibrosis. This study will investigate the ability of PRM-151 to prevent scarring post glaucoma filtration surgery (trabeculectomy).

Inclusion Criteria

1. Men or women of nonchildbearing potential (WONCBP) aged 18 years and older at screening. WONCBP may be included if they are either surgically sterile (hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy) or postmenopausal for =1 year (with follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] =38 mIU/mL) and must have a negative pregnancy test result at screening. Women who are surgically sterile must provide documentation of the procedure by an operative report or by ultrasound. Sexually active men must agree to use a medically acceptable form of contraception during the study.
2. Diagnosis of chronic angle-closure glaucoma or open-angle glaucoma, phakic or pseudophakic, with visual field or optic disc changes characteristic of glaucoma. For pseudophakic glaucoma patients, the cataract surgery performed was with phacoemulsification and through a corneal incision.
3. Suitable candidate for trabeculectomy in the study eye which the physician deems as medically necessary.

13. Conjunctival scarring precluding a trabeculectomy.
14. Vitreous in the anterior chamber.
15. Proliferative retinopathy.
16. Abnormality preventing reliable applanation tonometry in each eye.
17. History of drug anaphylaxis to any of the test articles used in this study.
