Sponsor:

Quan Dong Nguyen

Information provided by (Responsible Party):

Quan Dong Nguyen

Brief Summary:

The LION Study is a prospective, single-center phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and distribution of Laquinimod administered as topical eye drops for two weeks in human participants.

Condition or disease

Inflammation

Uveitis

Intervention/treatment

Laquinimod eye drops

Phase

PHASE1

Detailed Description:

Participants who fulfill the study eligibility criteria and who are planned to undergo a pars plana vitrectomy will be enrolled in the study. Eligible participants scheduled for a diagnostic vitrectomy may also be enrolled. The study will consist of two stages: Stage One - Open label dose escalation: Up to three subsequent dose-escalation groups will receive Laquinimod eye drops for 2 weeks and samples will be assayed for Laquinimod concentration in aqueous humor, vitreous and plasma. Stage Two- Randomized, Controlled Comparison of 2 Laquinimod doses: After the dose escalation cohorts are analysed, 2 Laquinimod doses will be selected for a randomized comparison. The doses in stage 2 will not exceed those studied in stage 1.
