To Evaluate the Pharmacodynamics, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Pazopanib Drops in Adult Subjects With Neovascular AMD

Pazopanib has been formulated as an eye drop for the topical treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics have been evaluated in a first study conducted in healthy volunteers (MD7108238). In the present study, three dosing regimens of pazopanib eye drops, administered for 28 days, will be evaluated in subjects with occult or minimally classic subtypes of choroidal neovascularization due to AMD. This study is designed to measure pharmacological activity of topically administered pazopanib in target tissues (choroid and retina) of patients with AMD by weekly evaluation of central retinal thickness as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Evaluation of efficacy will be performed on an exploratory basis by weekly measurement of visual acuity. The ocular and systemic safety and systemic pharmacokinetics of pazopanib treatment for 28 days will also be evaluated.
