An Open Label, Study of the Systemic Exposure to Articaine After Topical Ocular Dosing of AG-920

This is a Phase 1, open-label, non-comparative study in healthy subjects designed to assess systemic exposure to articaine and its metabolite articainic acid after dosing a single topical ocular administration of AG-920 in the randomized study eye.

In this study, subjects who provide informed consent and fulfill all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will receive a single dose of study drug in one eye. The study eye will be randomized. The single dose will be administered by the clinic staff as two drops 30 seconds apart in study eye. Subjects will have pharmacokinetic (PK) blood samples taken at multiple periods over 24 hours following dosing. Safety will be assessed by monitoring any changes in heart rate, blood pressure, intraocular pressure, visual acuity, biomicroscopy, and AEs.

The study will consist of 3 clinical visits: Screening Visit, Dosing and PK Blood Level Sampling (0-8 hours) Visit and a Follow Up Visit (with PK blood level sampling 24 hours after study drug treatment).

• Have an Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study best corrected visual acuity of 20/200 or better in each eye.
• Have an Intraocular Pressure between 7 and 30 mmHg inclusive.
