Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of LX7101 in Subjects With Primary Open-angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension

Overview

This Phase 1/2a study is intended to assess the safety, tolerability, and effects on intraocular pressure of two dose levels and two dose frequencies of LX7101 when administered topically in the eyes of patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Full Title of Study: “A Phase 1/2a, Randomized, Parallel-group, Double-masked, Vehicle-controlled, Dose-frequency Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Intraocular Pressure (IOP)-Lowering Efficacy of Topically Administered LX7101 in Subjects Diagnosed With Primary Open-angle Glaucoma (POAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT)”
