Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To compare the safety and tolerability of brimonidine tartrate 0.025%/ketotifen fumarate 0.035% combination ophthalmic solution versus its vehicle in healthy adult subjects and in pediatric subjects.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Allergic Conjunctivitis	Drug: rimonidine Tartrate 0.025%/Ketotifen Fumarate 0.035% Ophthalmic Solution (Combo) Drug: Vehicle of brimonidine tartrate 0.025%/ketotifen fumarate 0.035% ophthalmic solution

Detailed Description

The study will consist of 4-51 study visits to compare the safety and tolerability of brimonidine tartrate 0.025%/ketotifen fumarate 0.035% combination ophthalmic solution versus its vehicle in healthy adult subjects and in pediatric subjects with a history or family history of atopic disease (including allergic conjunctivitis).

To characterize the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of brimonidine tartrate 0.025%/ketotifen fumarate 0.035% combination ophthalmic solution following a single dose and 22-day twice daily (BID) topical ocular dosing in a subset of healthy adult subjects.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [Baseline up to Day 42]
TEAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence or undesirable event(s) that begins or worsens following administration of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the treatment by the Investigator. A TEAE is considered serious if, in the view of the Investigator or Sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening TEAE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, an important medical event that jeopardized the participant and required medical intervention, or sight-threatening (possibly resulting in persistent or significant loss of vision)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Drop Comfort Assessment as Assessed by the Participant [At dose installation, 30 seconds postdose installation, and 1-minute postdose installation on Day 1]]
Drop comfort assessment (0-10 unit scale in which a score of 0 denotes "very comfortable" and 10 is "very uncomfortable") was performed by the participantsubjects ≥ 10 years of age

Other Outcome Measures

Plasma Pharmacokinetics [Day 1 and Day 22]
Blood samples will be collected to measure the concentration of brimonidine and ketotifen In plasma at pre- and post-dose time points on Day 1 and on Day 22.

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:

5 Years to 64 Years

Sexes Eligible for Study:

All

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

Yes

Inclusion Criteria:

be at least 5 years of age at Screening Visit or Visit 1 (if Screening and Visit 1 are done on the same day), of either sex and any race (a government issued ID and/or birth certificate will be verified at the time ICF is signed);
provide written informed consent and sign the HIPAA form. Subjects who are at least 7 years of age and less than 18 years of age will need to sign an assent form. In addition, all subjects below the age of 18 years will be required to have both parents or legal guardian sign the informed consent.
be willing and able to follow all instructions and attend all study visits (and be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian if the subject is under the age of 18);
be able to self-administer eye drops satisfactorily or have a caregiver or parent/legal guardian (if applicable, for subjects less than 18 years of age) at home1 routinely available for this purpose.
for subjects less than 18 years of age, have either a history or family history of atopic disease (such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, allergic conjunctivitis/rhinitis, and atopic keratoconjunctivitis).
(if female and of childbearing potential) agree to have urine pregnancy testing performed at Visit 1 (must be negative) and at exit visit2

; must not be lactating; and must agree to use at least 1 medically acceptable form of birth control throughout the study duration and for at least 14 days prior to Visit 1 and 1 month after discontinuing investigational product. Acceptable forms of birth control are true abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject), spermicide with barrier, oral contraceptive, injectable or implantable method of contraception, transdermal contraceptive, intrauterine device, or surgical sterilization of male partner at least 3 months prior to the first dose of investigational drug (Visit 1). Note: Women considered capable of becoming pregnant include all females who have experienced menarche and have not experienced menopause (as defined by amenorrhea for greater than 12 consecutive months) or have not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy).

(if male and with female partner of childbearing potential) must use at least 1 medically acceptable form of birth control. Note: Acceptable forms of birth control are true abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject) or vasectomy at least 3 months prior to receiving investigational product (Visit 1). Without a vasectomy, must use condoms with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository throughout the study duration, for at least 14 days prior to and 1 month after discontinuing investigational product;
have ocular health within normal limits, including a calculated visual acuity of 0.3 logMAR or better in each eye as measured using an ETDRS chart. For subjects under 10 years old who are developmentally unable to use the ETDRS chart, a best attempt at visual acuity will be made using the LEA symbols or Visual Behavior. For subjects utilizing LEA symbols, Snellen equivalent units of 20/63 or better in both eyes will be required. Subjects utilizing Visual Behavior must have a passing score;
