About this study

Official title: Open Label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Biodegradation Period of PA5346 Latanoprost Free Acid (FA) Sustained Release (SR) Ocular Implant When Administered to Patients With Open Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension

This is an open label, single dose (100 ng/day) study to assess the safety, tolerability and biodegradation of the PA5436 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular Implant in adults who have OAG or OHT.

Read the detailed description

Participants who are currently administering Intraocular Pressure lowering drop therapy for Open Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension will be recruited.

Prior to recruitment, participants will be medicated with IOP lowering drop therapy, including a prostaglandin analogue to manage their POAG. The IOP lowering eye drops will be stopped in the intent to treat (ITT) eye at least 28 days and no greater than 49 days prior to the date of implant administration.

Participants will be required to have an unmedicated (post washout) 8:00 AM IOP ≥ 24 mmHg and ≤ 36 mmHg in the ITT eye at either of 2 screening visits 2 weeks apart.

Participants are also required to have an unmedicated (post washout) IOP ≥ 20 mmHg and ≤ 36 mmHg at 12:00 noon and 4:00 PM in the same eye on the same screening visit where the 8:00 AM IOP was IOP ≥ 24 mmHg and ≤ 36mmHg.

The PA5346 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular Implant will be administered to one eye (unilateral) of each participant.

IOP will be monitored and if during the course of the study it is found to rise ≥ 30% over baseline in the study eye(s), IOP lowering eye drops will be resumed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 100ng/day PA5346 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular ImplantDrug

    PA5346 ocular implant is a small, clear rod-shaped implant that is placed in the anterior (front) chamber of the eye, at a single timepoint, and slowly releases a drug called latanoprost free acid (100ng/day) over a period of approximately 30 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the safety and tolerability of 100 ng/day PA5346 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular Implant in adults with Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT).

    Clinically significant changes to haematology or biochemistry

    Measured: Change from baseline to 40 weeks

  2. To assess the safety and tolerability of 100 ng/day PA5346 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular Implant in adults with Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT).

    Clinically significant changes to urinalysis

    Measured: Change from baseline to 40 weeks

  3. To assess the safety and tolerability of 100 ng/day PA5346 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular Implant in adults with Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT).

    Clinically significant changes to physical examination

    Measured: Change from baseline to 40 weeks

  4. To assess the safety and tolerability of 100 ng/day PA5346 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular Implant in adults with Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT).

    Clinically significant changes to vital signs

    Measured: Change from baseline to 40 weeks

  5. To assess the safety and tolerability of 100 ng/day PA5346 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular Implant in adults with Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT).

    Clinically significant changes to visual acuity

    Measured: Change from baseline to 40 weekls

  6. To assess the period of biodegradation of 100 ng/day PA5346 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular Implant in adults with OAG or OHT.

    Biodegradation will be assessed by Gonioscopy or anterior Optical Coherence at Tomography (OCT) at Weeks 6, 12, 18, 26, 34, 40 and each subsequent 6 week visit thereafter until the implant has completely biodegraded. These tests allow the implant to be located by the ophthalmologist.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To assess the initial efficacy of 100 ng/day PA5346 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular Implant in controlling IOP during a study period in adults with OAG or OHT.

    IOP will be assess by using a tonometer at Day 1, Weeks 6, 18, 26, 34, 40 and every 6 weekly visit after intervention commencement.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Extent of hyperaemia.

    Assessed by Slit lamp Biomicroscopy for Conjunctival Redness Day 1, Weeks 6, 18, 26, 34, 40 and every 6 weekly visit after intervention commencement.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  3. Ophthalmologist-reported ease of use of bespoke administration device

    This questionnaire is descriptive only and includes questions such as:

    • Ease of attaching the implant-containing needle to the administration device
    • Ease of inserting the implant in the correct location
    • Number of times the plunger is depressed to extrude the implant.

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 100ng/day PA5346 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular Implant in people with Open Angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension, run by PolyActiva Pty Ltd at 2 sites in New Zealand.

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 10 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 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in New Zealand. 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. 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?

To assess the safety and tolerability of 100 ng/day PA5346 Latanoprost FA SR Ocular Implant in adults with Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT). (time frame: Change from baseline to 40 weeks). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 Apr 2024.
