ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new eye drop treatment called SCAI-005, which is being tested for its safety and how well it is tolerated in healthy adults. The goal is to understand how the eye drops behave in the body when given as a single dose and over multiple doses. This trial is important for future treatments of a condition called Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration, which can affect vision in older adults.

To participate in this trial, you need to be a healthy adult between the ages of 19 and 50. There are specific weight requirements, and you should not have any serious health issues or recent eye problems. Participants will need to agree to follow certain guidelines, like avoiding certain foods and substances during the trial. If you join, you'll be closely monitored to ensure your safety and to see how the eye drops work. Keep in mind that the trial is not yet recruiting, so there’s no need to apply just yet!
