PG - 542-550 LID - 10.1089/jop.2019.0044 [doi] AB - Purpose: Omidenepag isopropyl (OMDI) is a prodrug of OMD, a selective, nonprostaglandin, prostanoid EP2 receptor agonist. This phase I study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties, safety, and intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of OMDI. Methods: Fourteen healthy male volunteers (7 Japanese and 7 Caucasian) 20-35 years of age received 1 drop of OMDI 0.0025% at 9:00 h in both eyes for 7 days. Blood samples were taken predose and up to 8 h postdose on days 1, 3, and 7. The plasma concentration of OMD was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters measured included the maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) and the half-life (t((1/2))) of OMD. IOP, adverse events (AEs), ophthalmic examinations, vital signs, and laboratory values were assessed. Results:C(max) for all subjects was reached after 10-15 min and decreased with a t((1/2)) of approximately 30 min. Ad hoc statistical analyses found significant differences in some pharmacokinetic parameters between Japanese and Caucasian subjects, likely due to differences in body weight. These differences reduced over 7 days of dosing and were not thought to be clinically meaningful. There was no OMD accumulation after 7 days of repeated dosing. Mean IOP was reduced by approximately 4-5 mmHg between baseline and 2 h postdose, remaining stable from day 3 onward. All AEs were mild and considered treatment related. Conclusions: Pharmacokinetic parameters of OMD were similar between Japanese and Caucasian subjects. There was no accumulation of OMD after 7 days of dosing. OMDI was well tolerated and demonstrated clinically significant IOP reductions. FAU - Aihara, Makoto AU - Aihara M AD - Department of Ophthalmology, University of Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Japan.
