PG - 99-104 LID - 10.1089/jop.2009.0105 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PKs) of topical SAR 1118 Ophthalmic Solution in healthy adults. SAR 1118 is an investigational small molecule lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1; CD11a/CD18; alphaLbeta2) antagonist that inhibits LFA-1 binding to intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; CD54) targeting T-cell-mediated inflammation. METHODS: A randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study of SAR 1118 was performed in 4 cohorts with 7 randomized subjects per cohort (2 placebo: 5 active drug subjects; 0.1%, 0.3%, 1.0%, 5.0%) in 28 healthy adults. Dosing was divided into 3 periods each separated by a 72-h treatment-free observation: once-daily (QD) x 1, twice-daily (BID) x 10, and thrice-daily (TID) x 10 days. Data obtained at the beginning and end of each period included: slit-lamp, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Schirmer tear test (STT) without anesthesia, tear film break-up time (TBUT), intraocular pressure (IOP), and tear/plasma samples for PK analysis. RESULTS: All subjects completed the study; there were no tolerability issues or missed treatments (total, 1,428 administered doses). No serious ocular or nonocular adverse events (AEs) occurred over 1,148 subject study days (41 days/subject) and no significant abnormalities were identified on ocular exam. There were 38 ocular AEs (N = 11 subjects) and 21 nonocular AEs (N = 11 subjects). Most AEs were mild in severity and occurred in the 0.3% and placebo groups. No changes were observed in CD3, CD4, and CD8 blood lymphocyte counts. Tear PK profiles support a QD/BID dosing schedule. Plasma levels of SAR 1118 in the 0.1% and 0.3% groups were below level of quantitation (BLQ; <0.50 ng/mL) at all time points and transiently detected within the first 5 min to approximately 1 h following administration in the 1.0% and 5.0% groups. CONCLUSION: SAR 1118 Ophthalmic Solution appears safe and well-tolerated up to 5.0% TID in healthy adult subjects. PK analysis shows adequate ocular exposure with minimal systemic exposure.
