Summary

This is an exploratory, proof of concept study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RVL-1201 dosed once or twice daily for 14 days compared to a placebo (vehicle) control in patients with ptosis.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adult male or female subjects 18 years of age and older.
  • Presence of all of the following at Screening:
  • Loss on HVF 36-point ptosis protocol test of ≥ 8 points in points not seen at or above 10° from fixation in the superior visual field; AND
  • Marginal reflex distance (MRD), the distance from the central pupillary light reflex to the upper lid margin, of ≤ 2.5 mm in the same eye as Inclusion Criterion #2a; AND
  • Corrected Snellen visual acuity (VA) of 20/40 or better (refraction must be within 6 months of Visit 1) in the same eye as Inclusion Criteria #2a and #2b.
  • No contraindications for treatment of both eyes as specified in Exclusion Criteria #1-14.
  • Female subjects must be 1-year postmenopausal, surgically sterilized, or women of childbearing potential with a negative urine pregnancy test at Visit 1. Women of childbearing potential must use an acceptable form of contraception throughout the study.
  • Provide informed consent prior to undergoing any study-related procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

In either eye:

  • Congenital ptosis
  • Pseudoptosis
  • Horner syndrome
  • Marcus Gunn jaw-winking syndrome
  • Myasthenia gravis
  • Mechanical ptosis, including ptosis due to orbital or lid tumor, cicatricial processes affecting the movements of the upper lid, and enophthalmos
  • Dermatochalasis as the sole cause of the signs of ptosis
  • Previous ptosis surgery
  • Lid position affected by lid or conjunctival scarring
  • Current use of prescribed dry eye medication or punctal plugs; artificial tears are allowed
  • Visual field loss from any cause other than ptosis
  • Inability to fixate on the central fixation target of the HVF
  • Primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, intraocular pressure (IOP) > 24 mm Hg, or current use/use within 1 month prior to Visit 1 of any antiglaucoma medications.
  • History of closed/narrow angle glaucoma (unless patent peripheral iridotomy has been performed > 3 months prior to Visit 1 and IOP 105 mm Hg
  • Use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs; eg, isocarboxazid, phenelzine, tranylcypromine) within 14 days prior to Visit 1 or during the study
  • Use of beta blockers (eg, propranolol, metoprolol, labetalol) within 14 days prior to Visit 1 or during the study
  • Use of maprotiline, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ([SSRIs] eg, citalopram, escitalopram, paroxetine, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline) or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline, doxepin, nortriptyline, amoxapine, clomipramine, desipramine, imipramine, protriptyline, trimipramine) at any time during the study
  • A history of myocardial infarction, angina, arrhythmia, or irregular pulse
  • Advanced arteriosclerotic disease
  • History of thyroid disease
  • Insulin-dependent diabetes or diabetes requiring oral hypoglycemic drugs; diet-controlled diabetes is allowed
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Diagnosed benign prostatic hypertrophy requiring medicinal therapy.
  • History of contact or systemic allergic reaction to oxymetazoline or other sympathomimetic drugs (eg, phenylephrine, pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, fepradinol, or methoxamine)
