A Phase 2 interventional study of APP13007, 0.05% and APP13007, 0.1% in Ocular Inflammation and Pain After Cataract Surgery, sponsored by Formosa Pharmaceuticals, Inc.. Completed at 9 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 50 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-06-27.
Sponsored by Formosa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a Phase 2a, 2-part study (designated Parts A and B) that will evaluate APP13007 dose strength and dosing frequency in a randomized double-masked fashion for comparison to the respective matching vehicle placebo. Part A will be conducted first to evaluate 0.05% APP13007 and matching vehicle placebo in an approximate 1:1 ratio in approximately 42 subjects who experience postoperative inflammation on the first day following routine, uncomplicated, cataract surgery and who meet all eligibility criteria. Based on the results of Part A, Part B of the study may be open for enrollment to evaluate 0.05% and/or 0.1% APP13007 at various dosing frequency in approximately 84 subjects, also in an approximate 1:1 ratio, active vs. placebo. In each Part, subjects will return periodically for study assessments during the treatment period and then for a follow-up visit approximately 1 week after stopping the study drug.

Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events
Number of treatment emergent adverse events and number of participants.
Time frame: From First dose to Post-operative Day 28 (Part A) or Day 22 (Part B)
Intraocular Pressure - Change From Baseline (POD1 Prior to Dosing) to End-of-Treatment in the Operated Study Eye
Intraocular pressure is measured in mm Hg at each study visit with a Goldmann applanation tonometer. The change from baseline is calculated by subtracting the pretreatment measurement value from the value at each visit.
Time frame: Baseline and Post-operative Day 22 (Part A) or Day 15 (Part B)
Absolute Anterior Chamber Cell Count - Change From Baseline (POD1 Prior to Dosing) to POD 15 in the Operated Study Eye
The number of cells in the anterior chamber of the eye are counted using slit-lamp biomicroscopy at each study visit and the results are reported as number of cells in a 1mm x 1mm area.
Time frame: Baseline and Post-operative Day 15
Visual Acuity - Change From Baseline (POD1 Prior to Dosing) to End-of Treatment in the Operated Study Eye
The visual acuity in each eye is corrected using the pinhole method and the acuity is quantified on a logMAR (minimal angle of resolution) scale using the 'Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study' \[ETDRS\] charts for right and left eyes. A logMAR Score is calculated using the number of incorrect letters.
Time frame: Baseline and Post-operative Day 22 (Part A) or Day 15 (Part B)
Ocular Pain Grade - Change From Baseline (POD1 Prior to Dosing) to POD15 in the Operated Study Eye
Ocular pain is measured in each eye using a subject-reported five-point (0-4) ocular pain grade scale (0 = no pain; 4 = severe pain).
Time frame: Baseline and Post-operative Day 15
Subjects With Anterior Chamber Cell Count = 0 at POD15 in the Operated Study Eye Without Rescue Medication
The number of cells in the anterior chamber of the eye are counted using slit-lamp biomicroscopy at each study visit and the results are reported as number of cells in a 1mm x 1mm area.
Time frame: Post-operative Day 15
Subjects With Ocular Pain Grade = 0 at POD 15 in the Operated Study Eye Without Rescue Medication
Ocular pain is measured in each eye using a subject-reported five-point (0-4) ocular pain grade scale (0 = no pain; 4 = severe pain).
Time frame: Post-operative Day 15
Anterior Chamber Flare - Change From Baseline (POD1 Prior to Dosing) to End-of Treatment in the Operated Study Eye
The degree of turbidity (flare) in the anterior chamber of the eye is measured using slit-lamp biomicroscopy and quantified on a five-point (0-4) anterior chamber flare grade scale (0 = none; 4 = Intense). The change from baseline is calculated by subtracting the pretreatment measurement value from the value at each visit.
Time frame: Baseline and Post-operative Day 22 (Part A) or Day 15 (Part B)
Subjects Using of Anti-inflammatory 'Rescue' Medication Through End-of-Treatment
Subjects who do not respond to study treatment after randomization (anterior chamber cell count \> 30 cells or an increase in anterior chamber cell count by \> 15 cells from pre-dose baseline or ≥ 2 grade of increase in anterior chamber flare from pre-dose baseline) are started on anti-inflammatory medication (referred to as 'Rescue' medication). The number of subjects starting 'Rescue' medication is recorded at each study visit.
Time frame: First dose to Post-operative Day 22 (Part A) or Day 15 (Part B)
A multi-center US study in which 9 sites recruited subjects between August 2019 and October 2019 for Study Part A and between November 2019 and February 2020 for Study Part B
