Study summary

In this study, PP-001 eye drops are assessed for safety and tolerability in healthy, adult volunteers. PP-001 is a novel, anti-inflammatory small molecule that inhibits a specific enzyme (Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase).

The study was amended and now includes patients with ocular surface inflammation.

Read the detailed description

In this prospective, single-centre, double blind (within each cohort), placebo controlled, randomised study, safety and tolerability of PP-001 eye drops is assessed in healthy, adult volunteers (cohorts 1-3) and in patients with ocular surface inflammation (cohort 4). PP-001 is a novel small molecule inhibitor of Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase (DHODH) with anti-inflammatory properties.

  • ocular surface inflammation as defined per protocol
  • good general state of health

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria (excerpt):

Cohorts 1-4:

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of safety and tolerability by determining treatment emergent adverse events

    To assess safety and tolerability of ascending, multiple daily doses of PP-001 eye drops in healthy, adult volunteers and in patients with ocular surface inflammation

    Time frame: 28 days (cohorts 1-3) and 20 days (cohort 4)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) in peripheral blood

    To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (Cmax) of PP-001 in healthy, adult volunteers following single and multiple daily ocular instillation

    Time frame: 1 and 12 days (cohorts 1-3)

  2. Evaluation of area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) in peripheral blood

    To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (AUC) of PP-001 in healthy, adult volunteers following single and multiple daily ocular instillation

    Time frame: 1 and 12 days (cohorts 1-3)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 12, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
