Dry Eye Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this Phase 2a study is to assess changes in tear volume by the non-invasive techniques Ultra High Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography (UHR-OCT) following the administration of P-321 Ophthalmic Solution or Placebo in subjects with tear deficient dry eye disease.
Detailed description
This is a single-center, randomized, cross-over placebo controlled study to evaluate the changes in tear volume by P-321 Ophthalmic Solution and Placebo. The study will enroll subjects with tear deficient dry eye disease to receive sequentially one of two treatment sequences: P-321 Ophthalmic Solution then Placebo or Placebo then P-321. The study will consist of two Phases: In each Phase, subjects will be treated with P-321 Ophthalmic Solution under the same study design. Approximately twenty-four eligible subjects will complete the study with approximately 8 subjects participating in Phase 1 and the remainder of the 24 subjects participating in the phase 2. Decisions on the dose to be used in Phase 2 will be made based on Phase 1 data. The study will consist of three study visits: a Screening Visit (Visit 1), and two treatment visits (Visit 2 and Visit 3). The primary and secondary outcome measures will be assessed at each treatment visit. Safety assessments include adverse events (AEs).

Outcome results
Change in Total Tear Meniscus Volume Following the Administration of P-321 Ophthalmic Solution or Placebo
Tear meniscus volume, from measurements of tear meniscus area by UHR-OCT and the length of the eyelid was estimated over time (0 to 6 hours) following administration of placebo or P-321 Ophthalmic Solution.
Time frame: Pre-dose and up to six hours after dose
Population: One subject enrolled in the study. Subject received both study treatments (a single instillation of 0.017% P-321 Ophthalmic Solution in both eyes and a single instillation of Placebo in both eyes).~Study was terminated, raw data obtained. Processing of data was not conducted to obtain primary and secondary outcomes, therefore none reported.
