A Phase IIa Study to Assess the Tolerability, Safety, and Efficacy of AZD4017 for Raised Intra-ocular Pressure

A Double Masked, Placebo Controlled, Randomised, Parallel Group Phase IIa Study to Assess the Tolerability, Safety, and Efficacy of AZD4017 for Raised Intra-Ocular Pressure

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of systemically administered AZD4017, compared with placebo, over a 28-day period in patients with raised intra-ocular pressure (IOP).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Must have a diagnosis of intra-ocular hypertension (raised IOP), or primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), with IOP >20 mmHg and ≤36 mmHg in the study eye, and is currently prescribed a stable dose of a single anti-glaucoma medication that began at least 30 days prior to the screening visit; OR
• Must have a diagnosis of intra-ocular hypertension (raised IOP), defined as an IOP ≥22 mmHg and ≤36 mmHg in the study eye while not on anti-glaucoma medication
• Male patients must be willing to use barrier contraception with spermicide, ie, condoms, from the day of first dosing until 3 months after dosing with IP
• Placebo treatment for duration of the study must not be considered detrimental to the patient

Exclusion Criteria:

• Have uncontrolled intra-ocular hypertension (>36 mmHg)
• Have experienced a significant visual field loss or showed evidence of progressive visual field loss within the last year (as defined by >1 dB/yr average loss or vision threatening new defect)
• Have had severe eye trauma at any time
