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.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18-50 years * No history of glaucoma or ocular hypertension * Baseline intraocular pressure between 10-21 mmHg * Serum creatinine ≤1.3 mg/dL and serum potassium \110 mmHg Exclusion Criteria: * Use of topical or systemic steroids * Renal disease or hyperkalemia * Concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors, including clarithromycin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, fluconazole, verapamil, diltiazem, or ritonavir * Pregnancy or breastfeeding * Use of medications known to affect intraocular pressure, including topical prostaglandin analogs, topical or systemic beta-blockers, topical alpha-2 agonists, topical or systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, topical Rho-kinase inhibitors, or topical parasympathomimetics
