Brief summary

The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and effect of KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension and KPI-121 1.0% ophthalmic suspension on intraretinal or subretinal fluid secondary to Retinal Vein Occlusion or Diabetic Macular Edema.

Detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized, single-masked study evaluating the safety and effect of topical ocular administration of either KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension or KPI-121 1.0% ophthalmic suspension in subjects with intraretinal or subretinal fluid secondary to Retinal Vein Occlusion or Diabetic Macular Edema.

Interventions

KPI-121 drug product will be supplied a 0.25% loteprednol etabonate as a suspension packaged opaque dropper bottles. KPI-121 drug product is a sterile, aqueous, submicron suspension of loteprednol etabonate.

DRUGKPI-121 1.0% Ophthalmic Suspension

KPI-121 drug product will be supplied a 1.0% loteprednol etabonate as a suspension packaged opaque dropper bottles. KPI-121 drug product is a sterile, aqueous, submicron suspension of loteprednol etabonate.

Inclusion criteria

* Have documented presence of intraretinal or subretinal fluid secondary to Retinal Vein Occlusion or Diabetic Macular Edema at Screening

Exclusion criteria

* Treatment with topical, intravitreal injection, posterior sub-Tenon's, or periocular corticosteroids within 120 days prior to Visit 1 and for the duration of the study * History of uncontrolled glaucoma, IOP over 21 mmHg at Visit 1, or are being treated for glaucoma in the study eye * Any significant ocular disease that could compromise vision in the study eye (including ongoing ocular infection, wet age-related macular degeneration, myopic degeneration with active subfoveal choroidal neovascularization) * Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to the investigational product(s) or their components * Diagnosis of severe/serious ocular condition that in the judgment of the Investigator could confound study assessments or limit compliance; or severe/serious systemic disease or uncontrolled medical condition that in the judgment of the Investigator could confound study assessments or limit compliance * Exposed to an investigational drug within 30 days prior to Visit 1 and for the duration of the study * In the opinion of the Investigator or study coordinator, an unwillingness or inability to comply with the study protocol or inability to successfully instill eye drops

Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)

Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was measured by the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter score starting at 4 meters. More letters read correctly results in a higher letter score, which represents better visual acuity.

Time frame: Day 1 to Day 57

Population: Intent to treat- all subjects randomized

Change in leakage by investigator's assessment of the fluorescein angiogram

Time frame: Day 1 to Day 57

Population: Unable to analyze the FA data for efficacy. The efficacy variable defined in the protocol was the mean change from baseline in total area of fluorescein leakage and unfortunately the total area was not collected during the study.
