About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Non-Comparative Study of the Systemic Exposure to Articaine After Topical Ocular Dosing of Articaine Sterile Topical Ophthalmic Solution (AG-920)

This is a Phase 1, open-label, non-comparative study in healthy subjects performed in the US. It is designed to assess systemic exposure to articaine and its metabolite articainic acid after dosing a single topical ocular administration of AG-920 in the randomized study eye.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, open-label, non-comparative study in healthy subjects designed to assess systemic exposure to articaine and its metabolite articainic acid after dosing a single topical ocular administration of AG-920 in the randomized study eye.

In this study, subjects who provide informed consent and fulfill all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will receive a single dose of study drug in one eye. The study eye will be randomized. The single dose will be administered by the clinic staff as two drops 30 seconds apart in study eye. Subjects will have pharmacokinetic (PK) blood samples taken at multiple periods over 24 hours following dosing. Safety will be assessed by monitoring any changes in heart rate, blood pressure, intraocular pressure, visual acuity, biomicroscopy, and AEs.

The study will consist of 3 clinical visits: Screening Visit, Dosing and PK Blood Level Sampling (0-8 hours) Visit and a Follow Up Visit (with PK blood level sampling 24 hours after study drug treatment).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AG-920ExperimentalSubjects will receive a single dose of articaine sterile topical ophthalmic solution in one eye only. The study eye will be randomized. The single dose will be administered by the clinic staff as two drops in study eye 30 seconds apart.
Receives: Drug: AG-920

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Systemic exposure to articaine and its metabolite after dosing a single topical ocular administration of AG-920

    Plasma levels of articaine and its primary metabolite (articainic acid)

    Measured: 8 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)

    TEAEs will be summarized by system organ class (SOC) and preferred term.

    Measured: randomization through follow up (2 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AG-920 in people with Healthy, run by American Genomics, LLC at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Systemic exposure to articaine and its metabolite after dosing a single topical ocular administration of AG-920 (time frame: 8 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04759339, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Apr 2022.
