Study summary

This is a Phase IIa study to assess efficacy and safety of STN1010904 ophthalmic suspension (0.03%, and 0.1 %), twice daily dosing when compared to Placebo in subjects diagnosed with Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD). This study will consist of a Screening Period of up to 15 days and an 18-month Double-Masked Treatment Period, including 9 individual visits to the study site.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) With Contrast Level of 100% at Month 18

    This measure evaluates the change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) with a contrast level of 100% from baseline to the 18-month mark. BCVA is assessed using standardized visual acuity charts, and the results are expressed in logMAR units. The baseline score is determined prior to the first dose at Visit 2, and if unavailable, the last observed measurement before the first dose is used. The change is calculated as the difference between the BCVA score at the 18-month visit and the baseline score.

    Time frame: The change is calculated as the difference between the BCVA score at the 18-month visit and the baseline score.

  2. Change From Baseline in BCVA With Contrast Level of 10% at Month 18

    This measure evaluates the change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) with a contrast level of 10% from baseline to the 18-month mark. BCVA is assessed using standardized visual acuity charts, and the results are expressed in logMAR units. The baseline score is determined prior to the first dose at Visit 2, and if unavailable, the last observed measurement before the first dose is used. The change is calculated as the difference between the BCVA score at the 18-month visit and the baseline score.

    Time frame: The change is calculated as the difference between the BCVA score at the 18-month visit and the baseline score.

  3. Change From Baseline in Contrast Sensitivity With Glare Light at Month 18

    This measure evaluates the change in contrast sensitivity under glare conditions from baseline to Month 18. Baseline is defined as the measurement obtained prior to the first dose at Visit 2, or the last available pre-dose measurement if Visit 2 data are unavailable. The change is calculated as the difference between the Month 18 value and the baseline value. AULCSF is calculated using the below steps: Measure contrast sensitivity (CS) at several spatial frequencies (cpd, cycles per degree). For example, at spatial frequencies of 3, 6, 12, 18. Convert the corresponding contrast sensitivity to log10 scale. Convert spatial frequencies to log10 scale. For example, log10(3), log10(6), log10(12), log10(18). Calculate the area using trapezoidal rule. Therefore, the actual measurement of AULCSF is log CS × log(cpd). For simplification, we referred to this as log scale. Higher AULCSF indicates better contrast sensitivity and better visual function.

    Time frame: The change is calculated as the difference between the AULCSF at the 18-month visit and the baseline score.
