About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Liposomal Latanoprost in Ocular Hypertensive Patients

Aim: Evaluation of a single subconjunctival injection of liposomal EggPC formulation of latanoprost in treating glaucoma.

Hypothesis: The investigators have already evaluated carrier stability, drug partitioning, in vitro drug release, tolerance, and efficacy of latanoprost-incorporated EggPC liposomes upon subconjunctival administration in both rabbit and monkey eyes. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that this would be safe and efficacious in humans as well.

Methodology: A pilot study to assess a liposome formulation containing latanoprost. The investigators will recruit 6 study subjects with eyes that have raised IOP, for subconjunctival injection of this liposome formulation. The recruited eye will be injected and monitored for inflammation, toxicity and pain as primary end-points. Monitoring of the eye will be for the first 24 hours post-injection, week 2, months 1, 2 and 3 thereafter.

Importance: If proven safe, this method of drug delivery could potentially be used for treatment of raised intraocular pressures in blinding conditions such as glaucoma.

Read the detailed description

The number of recorded adverse events and intolerance to the subconjunctival injection procedure by the participants during the study period was used as a measure of safety.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Subconjunctival injection of liposomal latanoprost in people with Ocular Hypertension, run by Singapore Eye Research Institute.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with serious adverse events (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Nov 2013.
