Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to define a safe and effective dose of iontophoretic delivery of dexamethasone phosphate ophthalmic solution using the EyeGate® II Drug Delivery System in patients with non-infectious anterior segment uveitis.
Detailed description
This is a randomized, double-masked, parallel group, dose-comparison, exploratory study of four doses of iontophoretic delivery of dexamethasone phosphate ophthalmic solution in patients with non-infectious anterior segment uveitis. The current study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of this technology at the four dose levels to determine a safe effective dose appropriate for future trials.
Interventions
Ocular Iontophoresis with EGP-437 1.6 mA-min at 0.4 mA delivered via EyeGate® II Drug Delivery System
Ocular Iontophoresis with EGP-437 4.8 mA-min at 1.2 mA delivered via EyeGate® II Drug Delivery System
Ocular Iontophoresis with EGP-437 10.0 mA-min at 2.5 mA delivered via EyeGate® II Drug Delivery System
Ocular Iontophoresis with EGP-437 14.0 mA-min at 3.5 mA delivered via EyeGate® II Drug Delivery System
