Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the clinical profile of topical-ocular MGV354 merits further development for the indication of lowering intraocular pressure (IOP).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Documented informed consent.

  • Part 1: 18 to 70 years of age;

  • Parts 2 and 3: 18 years of age or older;

  • Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18 and 39;

  • In case of contact lens wear, willing to remove lenses 30 minutes before the firstassessment until the end of the study. Corrective spectacles may be worn as needed.

  • Sitting vital signs (systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate) withinnormal ranges as specified in the protocol;

  • Part 1 (Healthy Volunteers): In good health as determined by past medical history,physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram, and laboratory tests atscreening.

  • Parts 2 and 3 (Patients): Diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or confirmed ocularhypertension; mean IOP measurements in at least one eye after washout as specified inthe protocol

  • Other protocol-specified inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion

Exclusion criteria:

  • History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or to drugs of similar chemicalclasses;

  • History of or current presence of clinically significant ECG abnormalities orarrhythmias;

  • History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinomaof the skin or in-situ cervical or breast cancer), treated or untreated, within thepast 5 years;

  • Known clinical history of heart failure, myocardial infarction, or stroke;

  • Exposure during the four weeks preceding the Screening visit to any topical, inhaled,or systemic corticosteroids;

  • Angle grade less than Grade 2 in either eye;

  • Any abnormality, including corneal thickness > 620 microns, preventing reliableapplanation tonometry;

  • Pregnant or lactating women and women of child-bearing potential;

  • Sexually active males must agree to use a condom during intercourse while taking drugand for 6 days after stopping MGV354 medication and should not father a child in thisperiod;

  • Positive HIV, Hepatitis B Ag or Hepatitis C Ab test result at Screening;

  • Abnormal liver function tests;

  • History or presence of impaired renal function;

  • Part 1 (Healthy Volunteers): Use of any NEW prescription drugs or herbal supplementswithin four (4) weeks prior to initial dosing, and/or NEW over-the-counter (OTC)medication, dietary supplements (vitamins included) within two (2) weeks prior toinitial dosing.

  • Parts 2 and 3 (Patients): Patients with related disease condition(s) including anyform of glaucoma other than open-angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation and/or pigmentdispersion components; patients who cannot safely discontinue use of all topicalocular and/or systemic IOP-lowering medication according to protocol-specified WashoutSchedule; patients with ocular diseases or conditions as specified in the protocol;patients taking certain medications as specified in the protocol;

  • Other protocol-specified exclusion criteria may apply.

Study Description

Part 1 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of MGV354 compared to placebo in healthy male and female subjects. Part 2 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of MGV354 in a multiple ascending dose design (two highest tolerated doses from Part 1) compared to placebo when administered for 7 days to patients with ocular hypertension or glaucoma. Part 3 will explore the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single dose level of MGV354 (maximum tolerated dose) compared to placebo when administered for 7 days in patients with ocular hypertension or glaucoma.
