A Multi-Center Study Subjects With Dry Eye Syndrome (EBI)

August 13, 2013 updated by: Eleven Biotherapeutics

A Multi-Center, Double Masked, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Ranging Study of EBI-005 Ophthalmic Solution Versus Placebo in Subjects With Dry Eye Syndrome

This is a Phase 1b, multi-center, double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the safety and biological activity of two doses of EBI-005 ophthalmic solution versus placebo in subjects with moderate to severe Dry Eye Syndrome. Approximately 72 subjects will be enrolled and randomized in this study at up to 9 centers located in the United States (US). Subjects will be enrolled in two groups or cohorts. The first enrollment group will consist of 33 subjects.

Study Overview

  • To evaluate pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters and immunogenicity of two different doses of EBI-005 ophthalmic solution.
  • To investigate the biological activity of multiple doses of EBI-005 ophthalmic solution compared to placebo as assessed by both objective and subjective assessments.
  • To investigate the comparative dose response of two different doses of EBI-005 ophthalmic solution.
  • To investigate the comparative tolerability of two different doses of EBI-005 ophthalmic solution.
  • To identify key biomarkers in the diagnosis and management of subjects with DES.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
74

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

OSDI is a subject assessment tool to determine subject Dry Eye Syndrome symptoms
2 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants.
