A Phase 1b, Randomized, Double-Masked, Parallel Group, Placebo Controlled Study to Assess Intraocular Pressure and Ocular Safety of the Beta-3 Agonist Mirabegron in Research Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the affect of mirabegron on intraocular pressure (IOP) in healthy subjects.

All women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test
• Male subject with female spouses/partners who are of childbearing potential must use contraception consisting of two forms of birth control (one of which must be a barrier method) during the study period
• Subject may either be otherwise healthy or have symptoms of overactive bladder by self-report

• History of glaucoma or ocular hypertension
• Abnormal visual field in either eye
• Ophthalmic condition that would interfere with reliable Goldmann tonometry (e.g., corneal edema, uveitis, severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca)
• History of major ocular infection, inflammation, or herpes simplex keratitis; evidence of current clinically significant blepharitis or conjunctivitis

• Ocular trauma within the past six months
• Severe myopia
• Diabetes, Type I or Type 2, with or without medical management
