Feasibility and Safety of MB-102 in Ocular Angiography as Compared to Fluorescein Sodium

February 2, 2026 updated by: MediBeacon

A Pilot Study to Assess the Feasibility and Safety of MB-102 in Ocular Angiography as Compared to Fluorescein Sodium

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and image quality of the investigational dye, MB-102, compared to the control dye (fluorescein sodium) in healthy and diseased eyes using fluorescent angiography for retinal vascular disease diagnosis and monitoring.

Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This will be a single-dose study, in normal participants and in those with current retinal pathology, investigating feasibility of the investigational dye, MB-102, for use in fluorescent angiography compared to fluorescein sodium. Safety and tolerability of MB-102 will also be evaluated. Control dye fluorescein sodium will be administered intravenously a minimum of 3 days prior to MB-102 dosing. After IV administration of dyes, images will be acquired of both eyes with a Zeiss fundus camera (and for some participants additional fundus photography will be performed with clinically-approved ocular angiography imaging systems) by a trained ophthalmic photographer. Participants will return for a follow-up visit after MB-102 dosing for further physical examination, clinical laboratory tests, and reporting of any adverse events. Photographs will be examined for quality as well as the utility of the angiography in evaluating disease diagnosis and progression.

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

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age > 18 years - male or female

    1. Eligible female non-pregnant participants who are either not of child-bearing potential or willing to utilize adequate contraception during the trial
    2. Males must be willing to practice abstinence or utilize adequate contraception from MB-102 dosing day to at least 7 days post dose
  • Participants willing to comply with study requirements
  • Participants who have signed an informed consent form

At least 5 participants will have a current history of retinal or choroidal vascular diseases.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women who are pregnant, lactating or planning to become pregnant during the study, or women who are of childbearing potential unwilling to utilize adequate contraception
  • Participation in another interventional trial within 30 days of treatment or concurrently enrolled in any other medical research study which could impact the results of the study
  • History of drug or alcohol abuse within the past year
  • History of severe allergic hypersensitivity reactions (unacceptable adverse events) or anaphylactoid reaction to any allergen including drugs, MB-102 and fluorescein sodium or other related products (intolerance to a drug is not considered a drug allergy).
  • Prior history of seizures
  • Current visually significant cataracts or other ophthalmic conditions that would limit appropriate collection of fundus photographs
  • Site personnel immediately associated with the study or their immediate family members
  • Unable to tolerate ophthalmologic imaging
  • Any characteristics which, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the participant a poor candidate for participation in the clinical trial (e.g. unstable medical condition including cardiovascular disease, or other conditions considered clinically significant or unstable by the Principal Investigator)
  • Prior enrollment and dosing in this 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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Binary assessment by the Principal Investigator of the feasibility of MB-102 imaging as compared to fluorescein dye
Time Frame: From the time of fluorescein sodium administration through optical angiography study completion, up to 2 weeks
Ocular angiography will be performed using a commercially available, FDA-approved clinical Zeiss FF450 fundus camera. Images will be taken of both eyes, acquired by a trained ophthalmic photographer. In at least 2 participants, imaging will also be conducted using 2 different additional clinically-approved ocular angiography imaging systems.
From the time of fluorescein sodium administration through optical angiography study completion, up to 2 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participants with adverse events
Time Frame: From the time of study enrollment until the end of adverse event collection, up to 24 days
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) in participants, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the investigational drug or the reference medication. Adverse events will be collected from the time a participant is considered enrolled (after consent is signed) through the follow-up visit. Participants who fail screening will not have AEs collected.
From the time of study enrollment until the end of adverse event collection, up to 24 days
