Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ST266 ophthalmic drops compared to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis.

Detailed Description

The study is a multi-center, double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, modified conjunctival allergen challenge (CAC) model. The primary endpoints of ocular itching and conjunctival redness will be evaluated at the subject's final visit. Subjects who meet inclusion criteria will be randomized to one of two treatment groups (1:1). Randomization will be stratified by average post-CAC itching scores at baseline.

Subjects will be evaluated at baseline and on Days 6, 7 and 8.

• have a positive post-CAC reaction;
• have a positive post-CAC reaction in two out of the first three time points;
• be able to self-administer eye drops satisfactorily or have a caregiver at home routinely available for this purpose.

Exclusion Criteria

• have known contraindications or sensitivities to the use of the investigational product or any of its components;
• have any ocular condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could affect the subject's safety or trial parameters (including but not limited to narrow angle glaucoma, clinically significant blepharitis, follicular conjunctivitis, iritis, or pterygium);
• have had ocular surgical intervention within 3 months prior to initiating the study or during the study and/or a history of refractive surgery within the past 6 months;

• have the presence of an active ocular infection (bacterial, viral or fungal) or positive history of an ocular herpetic infection at any visit;
• use any of the disallowed medications during the period indicated prior to and during the study;
• have any significant illness (e.g. any autoimmune disease requiring therapy, severe cardiovascular disease [including arrhythmias]) the investigator feels could be expected to interfere with the subject's health or with the study parameters and/or put the subject at any unnecessary risk (includes but is not limited to: poorly controlled hypertension or poorly controlled diabetes, a history of status asthmaticus, organ transplants, a known history of persistent moderate or severe asthma, or a known history of moderate to severe allergic asthmatic reactions to any of the study allergens);
• manifest signs or symptoms of clinically active allergic conjunctivitis in either eye at the screening visit;
• have planned surgery (ocular or systemic) during the trial period or within 30 days after;
• have used an investigational drug or medical device within 30 days of the study or be concurrently enrolled in another investigational product trial;
