A Clinical Trial to Evaluate Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of HL217 Eye Drop in Healthy Male Subjects

A Dose Block-randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Dose-escalation Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics After Single Dosing of HL217 Eye Drop in Healthy Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK parameters in healthy subjects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK parameters of HL217 after single eye drop administration at different doses in healthy subjects.

   • 40 bpm ≤ HR ≤ 100 bpm
   • Or considered NCS by investigators

6. Normal ECG recording on a 12-lead ECG:

   • 120 < PR < 200 ms
