Systemic Bioavailability Study Of Col-118 Administered Topically as a 0.18 % Facial Gel And Brimonidine Ophthalmic Solution 0.2%

Official Title: “A Phase II, Single-Center, Two-Way Crossover Relative Systemic Bioavailability Study of Col-118 Administered Topically as a 0.18 % Facial Gel and Brimonidine Ophthalmic Solution 0.2% Administered to the Eye in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Erythematous Rosacea”

Phase II systemic bioavailability crossover study to measure the exposure of Col-118 topical 0.18 % Facial Gel and Brimonidine Ophthalmic Solution 0.2%

A double-blind, randomized, 2-way crossover, safety, pharmacokinetic/-dynamic (PK/PD) study of 0.18% COL-118 facial gel and 0.2% brimonidine ophthalmic solution administered in male and female patients with moderate to severe erythematous rosacea.

Twenty male and female subjects with moderate to severe erythematous rosacea will be randomized into 2 groups of 10 subjects.

Each group will be randomized to receive 2 treatments (Treatments A and B, in Sequence 1:

A/B or Sequence 2: B/A), as follows:

Treatment A: One 1-g application of 0.18% COL-118 facial gel (1.8 mg brimonidine) administered topically plus one drop of Advanced Eye Relief™ in each eye, once in the morning. 1 g of 0.18% COL-118 facial gel is reapplied once after four hours;

Treatment B: One 1-g application of COL-118 facial gel vehicle (0.0 mg brimonidine tartrate) administered topically plus one drop of 0.2% brimonidine ophthalmic solution (0.1 mg brimonidine tartrate/drop) in each eye. Four hours after the first application 1-g of COL-118 facial gel vehicle (0.0 mg brimonidine) is administered topically.

There will be at least a 1-day washout between dose administrations (Period 1 and Period 2).

Blood samples for PK analysis of brimonidine levels will be collected at the following time points during Period 1 and Period 2: 0 Hour (prior to dose) and at 1, 2, 3, 4 (prior to 2nd dose), 5, 6, 7, and 8 hours post-dose.
