Detailed Description

This is a Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, double masked, parallel design study in healthy subjects performed in the US. It is designed to evaluate the safety and anesthetic efficacy of AG-920 Sterile Topical Ophthalmic Solution. In this study, subjects who provide informed consent and fulfill all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive a single dose of AG-920 or identical looking placebo into the study eye. Subjects will undergo a conjunctival pinch procedure and the pain associated with the pinch rated.

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.

Experimental: AG-920
Articaine Sterile Topical Ophthalmic Solution (AG-920) is a sterile, isotonic, non-preserved aqueous solution containing the active ingredient Articaine HCl 8%, Boric Acid, Mannitol, Sodium Acetate Trihydrate, Glacial Acetic Acid, and Edetate Disodium Dihydrate. The product formulation is adjusted to pH 4.5 to 5.0. Each subject randomized to AG-920 will receive a single dose of 2 drops 30 seconds apart from a single vial into study eye.
Drug: AG-920

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Placebo ophthalmic solution is identical to the active product, with the exception of the active ingredient. Each subject randomized to placebo will receive a single dose of 2 drops 30 seconds apart from a single vial into study eye.

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
The Percentage of Patients Who Experienced Ocular Anesthesia Following Treatment of AG-920 Compared to Placebo at 5 Minutes
Time Frame: 5 minutes post dose
Immediately following EACH pinch test, subjects will be asked "Was that painful" "Yes" or "NO."
5 minutes post dose

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
How Long it Takes One Dose of AG-920 to Anesthetize the Eye
Time Frame: 20, 40 and 60 seconds following dosing or until pain stops. 5-minutes post dose. If subject became anesthetized before 5 minutes, every 5 minutes for up to 30 minutes or until pain resumes.
Mean time to no pain score (onset)
20, 40 and 60 seconds following dosing or until pain stops. 5-minutes post dose. If subject became anesthetized before 5 minutes, every 5 minutes for up to 30 minutes or until pain resumes.
How Long One Dose of AG-920 Anesthetizes the Eye
Time Frame: 20, 40 and 60 seconds following dosing or until pain stops. 5-minutes post dose. If subject became anesthetized before 5 minutes, every 5 minutes for up to 30 minutes or until pain resumes.
Mean duration of anesthetic effect
20, 40 and 60 seconds following dosing or until pain stops. 5-minutes post dose. If subject became anesthetized before 5 minutes, every 5 minutes for up to 30 minutes or until pain resumes.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Time Frame: from randomization through study completion (up to 5 days) on average of 2 days.
Total number of participants with TEAEs
from randomization through study completion (up to 5 days) on average of 2 days.
Number of Participants With a Change in Biomicroscopy
Time Frame: change from baseline through end of study at Day 5
Slit lamp biomicroscopy and external eye exam measures will be summarized at each measured timepoint using discrete summary statistics. Clinician examined the eyelid, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber, iris, pupil, and lens of the eye with the aid of a slit lamp.
change from baseline through end of study at Day 5
Change in Visual Acuity
Time Frame: change from baseline through end of study at Day 5
Visual Acuity data will be summarized at each time point using continuous and discrete summaries of Logarithmic Minimum Angle of Resolution (logMAR).
