Corneal Endothelial Cell Changes
Conditions
Keywords
Cornea, Endothelial cell density
Brief summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect on corneal endothelial cell density (cells/mm²) changes at 3 months when mapracorat ophthalmic suspension, 3% is administered QID (four times daily), for 14 days in healthy subjects with a normal ophthalmic history.
Interventions
One drop of mapracorat ophthalmic suspension, 3% four times daily, at approximately four hour intervals, for 14 days in both eyes.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Must have a Pinhole visual acuity (VA) equal to or better than 20/40 in both eyes. * Must be in good ocular health
Exclusion criteria
* Subjects who have known hypersensitivity or contraindication to the study drug or its components. * Subjects who currently require or are expected to require treatment with any medication listed as a disallowed medication per the Disallowed Therapy section of the protocol. * Any topical ophthalmic medication, including tear substitutes that cannot be discontinued during the study. * Subjects who are monocular (fellow eye is absent or fellow eye's Pinhole VA is worse than 20/200). * Subjects with a history of ocular surgery, or who anticipate ocular surgery in either eye within the study period. * Presence of significant ocular or systemic disease that the Investigator determines could interfere with the study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Endothelial Cell Density | 3 months (Visit 4) | The mean endothelial cell density (cells/mm2)(ECD) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Area under the plasma concentration-time curve | Day 1 (Visit 2) | Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (Ct). Blood samples will be collected for the determination of mapracorat and any potential metabolite(s). Concentrations in plasma measured within 1 hour prior to dosing on day 1 (visit 2). |
