Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this first-in-human study is to assess the local ocular and systemic safety and tolerability of LHA510 eye drops when administered at various concentrations and dosing frequencies.
Detailed Description
This first-in-human study was conducted in two parts. Part 1 was a single ascending dose (SAD) design to assess the local ocular and systemic safety and tolerability of a single topical eye drop of LHA510 administered at various concentrations. Four separate cohorts of unique elderly subjects (55 to 80 years) were utilized, with each cohort randomized to receive either topical LHA510 or vehicle in a 3:1 ratio as a single dose. A disposition evaluation was performed 7 days later. Part 2 was a multiple ascending dose (MAD) design to assess the local ocular and systemic safety and tolerability of LHA510 administered at various concentrations and dosing frequencies. Six separate cohorts of unique AMD subjects were utilized, with each cohort randomized to receive either topical LHA510 or vehicle in a 3:1 ratio for 7 days. A disposition evaluation was performed 14 days after the first dose of study drug. A review of all available safety data was conducted by the Sponsor and the PI(s) prior to dose escalation (cohort progression). The same concentrations levels were used in Part 1 and Part 2 and are ordered as Lowest, Next Lowest, Next Highest, and Highest.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Subjects With a Serious Adverse Event That, in the Opinion of the Investigator, is Related to the Study Drug, Part 1
Time Frame: From time of consent until 30 days after stopping the trial/study drug
A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any event which is fatal or life-threatening, which requires or prolongs hospitalization, which is significantly or permanently disabling or incapacitating, which constitutes a congenital anomaly or a birth defect, or which is medically significant, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.
Number of Subjects With a Serious Adverse Event That, in the Opinion of the Investigator, is Related to the Study Drug, Part 2
Time Frame: From time of consent until 30 days after stopping the trial/study drug
A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any event which is fatal or life-threatening, which requires or prolongs hospitalization, which is significantly or permanently disabling or incapacitating, which constitutes a congenital anomaly or a birth defect, or which is medically significant, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.
Number of Subjects Experiencing a Non-serious Adverse Event, Part I
Time Frame: From time of consent until 30 days after stopping the trial/study drug
An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who is administered a study treatment regardless of whether or not the event has a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE, therefore, could be any unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the study treatment, whether or not related to the treatment.

An AE, therefore, could be any unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the study treatment, whether or not related to the treatment.
