Trial summary

In this study, PP-001 eye drops are assessed for safety and tolerability in healthy, adult volunteers. PP-001 is a novel, anti-inflammatory small molecule that inhibits a specific enzyme (Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase). The study was amended and now includes patients with ocular surface inflammation.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Safety and Tolerability Study of PP-001 Eye Drops in Healthy Adult Volunteers

In this study, PP-001 eye drops are assessed for safety and tolerability in healthy, adult volunteers. PP-001 is a novel, anti-inflammatory small molecule that inhibits a specific enzyme (Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase).

The study was amended and now includes patients with ocular surface inflammation.

Read the detailed description

In this prospective, single-centre, double blind (within each cohort), placebo controlled, randomised study, safety and tolerability of PP-001 eye drops is assessed in healthy, adult volunteers (cohorts 1-3) and in patients with ocular surface inflammation (cohort 4). PP-001 is a novel small molecule inhibitor of Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase (DHODH) with anti-inflammatory properties.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of safety and tolerability by determining treatment emergent adverse events

    To assess safety and tolerability of ascending, multiple daily doses of PP-001 eye drops in healthy, adult volunteers and in patients with ocular surface inflammation

    Measured: 28 days (cohorts 1-3) and 20 days (cohort 4)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluation of Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) in peripheral blood

    To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (Cmax) of PP-001 in healthy, adult volunteers following single and multiple daily ocular instillation

    Measured: 1 and 12 days (cohorts 1-3)

  2. Evaluation of area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) in peripheral blood

    To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (AUC) of PP-001 in healthy, adult volunteers following single and multiple daily ocular instillation

    Measured: 1 and 12 days (cohorts 1-3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PP-001 in people with Keratoconjunctivitis and Ocular Surface Disease, run by Panoptes Pharma GmbH at 1 site in Austria.

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 7 inclusion and 4 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 12 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

What does this 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.

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?

Evaluation of safety and tolerability by determining treatment emergent adverse events (time frame: 28 days (cohorts 1-3) and 20 days (cohort 4)). 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 12 Jan 2024.
