Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This clinical study has two phases: Phase 1 and Phase 2a. Phase 1 is an open-label, single ascending dose (SAD), while Phase 2a is a randomized, single-masked (participant) with a sham control.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: PER-001 Intravitreal Implant - Low Dose
  • Drug: PER-001 Intravitreal Implant - High Dose
  • Drug: PER-001 Intravitreal Implant - Sham
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

This clinical study has two phases: Phase 1 and Phase 2a. Phase 1 is an open-label, SAD study to investigate the ocular and systemic safety and tolerability of two dose levels of PER-001, in participants with advanced OAG. Phase 1 will enroll up to approximately 12 participants.

Phase 2a is a randomized, single-masked (participant) study to further investigate the ocular and systemic safety and tolerability of the two dose levels of PER-001 Intravitreal Implants in participants with progressing glaucoma. Participants who meet entry criteria will be randomized to receive either dose of PER-001 or sham control. In Phase 2a, a total of approximately 24 participants (12 in each Cohort, will be randomized).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Ocular Measurement for Safety - Change from Baseline at Week 24 using Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) [End of Study(Week 24)]

    ETDRS or modified ETDRS chart (Charts 1, 2, and R as applicable) with standardized distance and lighting will be used to calculate the LogMAR score

  2. Ocular Measurement for Safety - Change from Baseline at Week 24 using Biomicroscopy [End of Study(Week 24)]

    Slit lamp examinations will include evaluation of the lids, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber, iris/pupil, and lens.

  3. Ocular Measurement for Safety - Change from Baseline at Week 24 using Intraocular Pressure (IOP) [End of Study(Week 24)]

    IOP is measured by a calibrated Goldmann applanation tonometry.

  4. Ocular Measurement and Implant Assessment for Safety - Change from Baseline at Week 24 using Dilated Ophthalmoscopy [BEnd of Study(Week 24)]

    Dilated ophthalmoscopy examination will include evaluation of the vitreous, macula, retinal vessels, peripheral retina, and optic disc.
