Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate an ophthalmic solution for the treatment of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis using the Conjunctival Allergen Challenge (CAC) model.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Allergic Conjunctivitis Drug: AL-4943A ophthalmic solution Drug: Olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.2% Drug: Olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.1% Drug: AL-4943A ophthalmic solution vehicle Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Enrolled participants will be tested for the presence of common allergies using the Conjunctival Allergen Challenge (CAC) model. Drops of increasing concentration of a solubilized allergen will be instilled in both eyes until a positive reaction occurred. The test will be repeated to confirm the allergic reaction. Participants with confirmed reactions will be administered the test article (Day 0) and undergo a CAC 24 hours post-instillation (Day 1). On Day 14, participants will be administered the test article and undergo an additional CAC.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Mean Ocular Itching at Onset of Action [ Time Frame: Day 14 (3, 5, and 7 minutes post-CAC) ]
    A treatment efficacy CAC was performed 27 minutes after drop installation. Ocular itching was assessed by the participant on a 0-4 scale (0= none, 4 = incapacitating itch). Average of ocular itching score over both eyes was analyzed.

  2. Mean Ocular Itching at 24 Hours Duration of Action [ Time Frame: Day 1 (3, 5, and 7 minutes post-CAC) ]
    A treatment efficacy CAC was performed 24 hours after drop instillation on Day 0. Ocular itching was assessed by the participant on a 0-4 scale (0= none, 4 = incapacitating itch). Average of ocular itching score over both eyes was analyzed.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Mean Conjunctival Redness at Onset of Action [ Time Frame: Day 14 (7, 15, and 20 minutes post-CAC) ]
    A treatment efficacy CAC was performed 27 minutes after drop installation. Conjunctival redness was assessed by the investigator on a 0-4 scale (0=none, 4=extremely severe). Average of conjunctival redness score over both eyes was analyzed.

  2. Mean Conjunctival Redness at 24 Hours Duration of Action [ Time Frame: Day 1 (7, 15, and 20 minutes post-CAC) ]
    A treatment efficacy CAC was performed 24 hours after drop instillation on Day 0. Conjunctival redness was assessed by the investigator on a 0-4 scale (0=none, 4=extremely severe). Average of conjunctival redness score over both eyes was analyzed.

  3. Mean Total Redness at Onset of Action [ Time Frame: Day 14 (7, 15, and 20 minutes post-CAC) ]
    A treatment efficacy CAC was performed 27 minutes after drop installation. Conjunctival redness, ciliary redness, and episcleral redness were assessed by the investigator on 0-4 scale (0=none, 4=extremely severe). Total redness is a composite variable summing conjunctival redness, ciliary redness, and episcleral redness scores (resultant score 0-12). The average of total redness over both eyes was analyzed.

  4. Mean Total Redness at 24 Hours Duration of Action [ Time Frame: Day 1 (7, 15, and 20 minutes post-CAC) ]
    A treatment efficacy CAC was performed 24 hours after drop instillation on Day 0. Conjunctival redness, ciliary redness, and episcleral redness were assessed by the investigator on 0-4 scale (0=none, 4=extremely severe). Total redness is a composite variable summing conjunctival redness, ciliary redness, and episcleral redness scores (resultant score 0-12). The average of total redness over both eyes was analyzed.

  5. Proportion of Ocular Itching Responders at Onset of Action [ Time Frame: Day 14 ]
    A treatment efficacy CAC was performed 27 minutes after drop installation. Ocular itching was assessed by the participant on a 0-4 scale (0= none, 4 = incapacitating itch). A responder was defined as a participant with zero-itch (a score of zero on ocular itching for both eyes) or with at least 2 units reduction in ocular itching relative to the baseline confirmatory CAC score. Ocular itching score was averaged across both eyes and over the 3 post-CAC assessments (3, 5, and 7 minutes) for the calculation of units reduction. Proportion of Ocular Itching Responders is reported as a percentage.

  6. Proportion of Itch Responders at 24 Hours Duration of Action [ Time Frame: Day 1 ]
    A treatment efficacy CAC was performed 24 hours after drop instillation on Day 0. Ocular itching was assessed by the participant on a 0-4 scale (0= none, 4 = incapacitating itch). A responder was defined as a participant with zero-itch (a score of zero on ocular itching for both eyes) or with at least 2 units reduction in ocular itching relative to the baseline confirmatory CAC score. Ocular itching score was averaged across both eyes and over the 3 post-CAC assessments (3, 5, and 7 minutes) for the calculation of units reduction. Proportion of Ocular Itching Responders is reported as a percentage.
