Eplerenone and IOP in Healthy Adults
Conditions: Intraocular Pressure (IOP), Healthy Adult
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 50 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: PHASE1
Enrollment: 30
Sponsor: University of Florida
Location: UF Health Eye Center - The Oaks Gainesville Florida
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether eplerenone lowers eye pressure in healthy adults. Eplerenone is a medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for other medical conditions. Researchers will compare eplerenone with placebo (a substance containing no active drug) to determine whether eplerenone affects intraocular pressure (IOP). Participants will receive both eplerenone and placebo during different study periods and will have their eye pressure measured throughout the study. Blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels will also be monitored for safety.
