Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of two formulations of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion in healthy adults (parallel-group phase). The parallel-group phase will be followed by a paired-eye phase which will evaluate the safety and tolerability of two formulations of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion compared with cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion (RESTASIS®) in patients with dry eye.

Interventions

DRUGcyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation A

One drop of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation A administered to each eye twice daily for 2 days and once in the morning of Day 3.

DRUGcyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation B

One drop of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation B administered to each eye twice daily for 2 days and once in the morning of Day 3.

DRUGcyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation A; cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion 0.05%

One drop of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation A administered to one eye and one drop of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion 0.05% administered to the opposite eye, twice daily for 1 day.

DRUGcyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation B; cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion 0.05%

One drop of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation B administered to one eye and one drop of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion 0.05% administered to the opposite eye, twice daily for 1 day.

DRUGcyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation A; cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation B

One drop of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation A administered to one eye and one drop of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion Formulation B administered to the opposite eye, twice daily for 1 day.

Concentration of Cyclosporine Measured in Blood at Day 1 in the Parallel-Group Phase (PGP)Day 1Concentration of cyclosporine measured in blood at Day 1 of the parallel-group phase (PGP). Blood samples were collected up to 3 hours post-dose and concentrations of cyclosporine were measured.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Subjects Who Reported Ocular Symptoms During the Parallel-Group Phase (PGP)3 DaysNumber of subjects who reported ocular symptoms of any severity during the parallel-group phase (PGP) of the study. Subjects evaluated the presence and severity of ocular symptoms in each eye. The severity of each symptom (blurring, foreign body sensation, pain, burning/stinging, tearing, and itching) were recorded on a 5-point scale (0=none, +0.5=very mild,+1=mild, +2=moderate, and +3=severe).
Number of Eyes With Ocular Symptoms Post-Dose During the Paired-Eye Phase (PEP) at Day 1Day 1Number of eyes with ocular symptoms of any severity, post-dose in the paired-eye phase (PEP) at Day 1. Subjects evaluated the presence and severity of ocular symptoms in each eye. The severity of each symptom (blurring, foreign body sensation, pain, burning/stinging, tearing, and itching) were recorded on a 5-point scale (0=none, +0.5=very mild, +1=mild, +2=moderate, and +3=severe).

Pre-assignment details

This study included a parallel-group phase (PGP) and a paired-eye phase (PEP). The paired-eye phase of the study began after the parallel-group phase completed. The parallel-group phase enrolled healthy volunteers and the paired-eye phase enrolled patients with dry eye symptoms.
