About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Open Label Phase-1/2a Study of Oftac Eye Drops in Active Non-Infectious Anterior Uveitis Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of Oftac in active non-infectious anterior uveitis patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Are adverse events observed during the treatment period and if so, what are their severity?
- What is the change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) test using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) acuity chart from baseline to Day 29?
- What is the change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) from baseline to Day 29?
The expected study duration for each patient will be up to 6 weeks including up to 1 week for screening, a 4-week treatment period and a 1-week safety follow-up period. Patients will be administered Oftac 0.05% eye drops four (4) times every day, for up to six weeks.
Read the detailed description
This is a multicenter, open label Phase 1/2a study designed to assess safety and tolerability of Oftac eye drops in active non-infectious anterior uveitis patients, as well as to evaluate preliminary indications of efficacy. Patients will be treated with the Investigational treatment, Oftac 0.05% tacrolimus ophthalmic emulsion, administered 4 times a day (QID) as a single drop to the affected eye. Dose administrations should be at approximately the same time every day during the entire study period.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Oftac: 0.05% tacrolimus ophthalmic emulsion in people with Non-Infectious Anterior Uveitis, run by BioNanoSim Ltd. at 7 sites in Israel.
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 6 inclusion and 15 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 13 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in Israel. 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 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?
Adverse events (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 3 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 13 Oct 2026.
