Study summary

The pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of meloxicam eye drops in Chinese healthy volunteers were evaluated to provide a basis for the formulation of a phase II clinical trial dosing regimen for this product. Including pre-tests and formal trials, formal trials include single-dose pharmacokinetics tests and multiple-dose tolerance tests (4 times a day for 3 consecutive days).

Read the detailed description

Meloxicam eye drops is a new class 2 drug of the country. The main ingredients are meloxicam. The other ingredients are hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, sodium hydroxide, boric acid, sodium chloride and water for injection. Among them, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin can increase the solubility of meloxicam and improve the stability of the solution. The indication of meloxicam eye drops is non-infectious ocular inflammation, especially for inflammation and complications after cataract surgery. The possible adverse reaction is transient tingling in the eye after eye drops.

Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDS) that selectively inhibits COX-2 cyclooxygenase. It is currently widely used in the treatment of acute and chronic inflammation and pain, and its mechanism of action is to prevent the production of prostaglandins (PGs) that cause inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX). Non-infectious ocular inflammation is usually caused by the synthesis and release of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin (PG) after eye tissues are stimulated. Because non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and analgesic effects, and have no adverse effects of glucocorticoids, their application in ophthalmology has been valued.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Single dose pharmacokinetic test

    The 72 healthy subjects enrolled were admitted to the trial ward the day before the trial. On the day of dosing, the subjects were given 0.1% meloxicam eye drops once, 1 drop / time.

    Drug: Meloxicam

  • Experimental
    Multiple dose tolerance test

    Eight healthy subjects were enrolled in the trial ward the day before the trial. 0.1% meloxicam eye drops were administered 4 times, 1 drop / time, and were administered at 8:00, 12:00, 16:00 and 20:00 daily for 3 consecutive days.

    Drug: Meloxicam

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Concentration of drug prototype-meloxicam in tears of each subject, ng · h / ml

    In a single administration test, tear samples were collected 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours after administration, and 8 eyes were taken at each time point.LC-MS

    Time frame: 2 days

  2. Intraocular pressure examination,mmHg

    In the multiple dose tolerance test, IOP was performed 2 hours (± 20min) after the second dose of Day2.

    Time frame: 1 day

  3. Corneal fluorescence staining,levels

    Corneal fluorescence staining during the multiple dose tolerance test (Day1-Day3) 1 h after the last daily dose (time window ± 10 min).

    Time frame: 3 days
