A phase 2 randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study of novel nonsystemic kinase inhibitor TOP1630 for the treatment of dry eye disease.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical TOP1630, a novel nonsystemic kinase inhibitor, in dry eye disease (DED). Patients and methods:A randomized, double-masked, parallel-group trial of 0.1% TOP1630 ophthalmic solution TID or placebo (vehicle without active drug) was conducted in DED subjects (n=61). Key eligibility criteria consistent with enrolling a moderate to severe DED population included >6 months DED history; OSDI© score ?18; Schirmer's test score ?10 and ?1 mm/5 minutes; tear film break-up time >1 and <7 seconds; and dry eye exacerbation in corneal staining and ocular discomfort in a Controlled Adverse Environment (CAE®). After a 7-day run-in period with placebo TID, eligible subjects were randomized to TOP1630 or placebo for 28 days. No supplemental artificial tears or rescue medication were allowed. Results:TOP1630 was safe, well-tolerated, and efficacious in treating DED symptoms and signs. No serious adverse events (AEs) or withdrawals due to treatment emergent AEs occurred. Drop comfort scores showed TOP1630 to be comfortable and comparable with placebo. Significant symptom improvements were seen for TOP1630 vs placebo for ocular discomfort (P=0.02 post-CAE), grittiness/foreign body sensation (on four independent assessment scales, each P<0.05), worst DED symptom (diary, P=0.06), and ocular pain (VAS, P=0.03). Sign improvements were seen for total ocular surface (all regions), corneal sum, and conjunctival sum staining with TOP1630 compared with placebo (each P<0.05). Conclusion:TOP1630 had placebo-like tolerability and produced improvements in multiple symptom and sign endpoints in both environmental and challenge settings. The emergent TOP1630 benefit-risk profile for DED treatment is highly favorable and supports further development.

Project description:IntroductionDE-089C is a newly developed long-acting formulation of diquafosol ophthalmic solution with less frequent administration (three times daily) than the currently approved and clinically used diquafosol ophthalmic solution (six times daily), hereinafter referred to as DQS. DE-089C is desirable for achieving better patient adherence in clinical practice for dry eye therapy. The objective of this study was to confirm the efficacy and safety of DE-089C in patients with dry eye compared to placebo.MethodsThis randomized, multicenter, double-masked, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 study was conducted in Japan. Patients with aqueous-deficient dry eye satisfying Schirmer's test I results ≤ 5 mm/5 min were included. A total of 337 patients with dry eye were randomized in an equal ratio to treatment with DE-089C or placebo ophthalmic solution, three times daily for 4 weeks. The primary endpoint for efficacy was change in fluorescein corneal staining score from baseline to week 4. The incidence of adverse drug reactions was investigated for safety evaluation.ResultsThe background characteristics of patients in the two groups were similar. Primary endpoint of change in fluorescein corneal staining score at week 4 in the DE-089C group was significantly improved compared with the placebo group (least squares mean difference - 0.51, 95% CI - 0.754 to - 0.269, P < 0.0001). The secondary endpoint of the Lissamine green conjunctival staining score was also significantly improved in the DE-089C group compared to that in the placebo group, while other secondary endpoints were not achieved in this study. Commonly (incidence ≥ 1%) reported adverse drug reactions in the DE-089C group were eye irritation (3.6%) and eye discharge (1.8%) with mild severity, and the incidences of these two events were not higher than those in previous clinical studies on DQS.ConclusionThe efficacy and safety of DE-089C administered three times daily at half the dosage of DQS in patients with dry eye were confirmed in this study.Trial registrationJapan Pharmaceutical Information Center ID, JapicCTI-205177.

Project description:BackgroundDry eye disease (DED) is a chronic ocular surface disease that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Although 0.05% cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion (CsA OE) has long been prescribed in the U.S. for the treatment of DED, it is not commercially available in China. Our study aims to compare the efficacy and safety profile of 0.05% CsA OE versus vehicle in Chinese patients with moderate to severe DED.MethodsThis was a multicenter, randomized, double-masked, 2-parallel-arm, 3-month phase III study. Patients with moderate to severe DED were randomized to receive twice-daily 0.05% CsA OE or its vehicle, along with unpreserved hypromellose eye drops 3 times per day. Patients were followed up at day 7, 28, 56, and 84, as well as 2 weeks after the medications were discontinued for safety assessment.ResultsA total of 240 patients were randomized. The overall effective rate (OER) and efficacy index were significantly better in the CsA OE than vehicle group at all follow up times (all P < .05), and the OER of CsA OE and vehicle group at month 3 was 70.6% and 27.8%, respectively (P < .001) (primary endpoint). The patients in CsA OE group displayed a significant improvement in dry eye symptoms from day 28 and ocular surface test results from day 7 (all P < .05). The ocular surface disease index scores of 0.05% CsA OE treated patients were significantly better than those treated with vehicle control at day 56 and 84 (P = .0061 and <.001, respectively). Drug related adverse events (AEs) were recorded in 6(5%) and 3(2.5%) patients in the CsA OE and vehicle groups respectively (P = .4061) with ocular pain as the most frequently reported AEs, and it was mostly mild to moderate. There were no detrimental effects on visual acuity, intraocular pressure, or vital signs.ConclusionsTwice-daily instillation of 0.05% CsA OE was effective and well tolerated for the treatment of moderate to severe DED in Chinese population during the 3 months of the study.
