Study summary

Phase 1/2, first-in-human, 2-part study to assess topically administered eyedrops of INV-102 during 2-week repeat dosing in subjects with moderate symptomatic dry eye disease. Part 1 will be a Dose Escalation phase across 4 cohorts of subjects to assess safety and tolerability of INV-102, and Part 2 will be an Optional Dose Expansion phase in a fifth cohort of subjects, pending the outcome of Part 1, to assess efficacy of INV-102 in the treatment of moderate symptomatic dry eye disease.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Part 1: Number of Subjects With At Least One (1) Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event

    The primary endpoint in Part 1 of this First-in-Human (FIH) study was treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) assessed across multiple dosing concentrations and dosing regimens.

    Time frame: From first dose through study completion (Day 22)

  2. Part 2: Change From Baseline to Day 15 in the Eye Dryness Score From the Dry Eye Disease (DED) Symptom Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    The primary endpoint in Part 2 of the study was change from Baseline to Day 15 in the Eye Dryness Score in the study eye from the DED symptom VAS. The dry eye disease symptom visual analog scale consisted of various DED symptom parameters and was completed by subjects for each eye individually. Subjects were asked to rate their discomfort from 0 (no discomfort) to 100 (maximal discomfort) for each of the DED symptoms by placing a single vertical mark on a horizontal line based on the extent of their symptoms.

    Time frame: Day 15

Secondary outcomes

  1. Part 2: Change From Baseline to Day 15 in the Eye Dryness Composite Score

    The secondary endpoint in Part 2 of the study was change from Baseline to Day 15 in the Eye Dryness Composite Score in the study eye. The eye dryness composite score (points) combines the change from Baseline in eye dryness score from the DED symptom VAS and the change from Baseline in corneal fluorescein staining score. VAS eye dryness scores were rated by subjects on a scale of 0 (no discomfort) to 100 (maximal discomfort). Corneal fluorescein staining assessments were performed using the National Eye Institute/Industry grading scale to score each of 5 corneal zones on a 0 (no ocular surface disease) to 3 (severe ocular surface disease) scale (with a total score of 0 to 15). The calculated eye dryness composite score can range from -100 points to 100 points (positive values indicate worsening of dry eye disease signs and symptoms; negative values indicate improvement).
