Registry summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of ER-100 in adults with optic nerve conditions, specifically Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) and Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION). The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is ER-100 safe when given as a single dose to people with OAG or NAION
  • What side effects may occur, if any, after taking ER-100?

Participants will:

  • Receive a single dose of ER-100
  • Undergo safety assessments including detailed eye examination and laboratory tests
  • Provide body fluid samples (tears, saliva, feces, urine) to help researchers understand how the drug is processed and cleared from the body
  • Complete questionnaires about their quality of life
  • Be followed for up to 5 years to monitor long-term health and vision outcomes
