In April 2011 we learnt that Vicept Therapeutics was undertaking some Phase 2 trials for their V-101 product. Now we see that Allergan, the new owners of V-101 are about to undertake some Dose Finding Phase 2 trials for the re-named AGN-199201.
Even though the 2011 announcement suggested that that trial was “designed to optimize the concentration of V-101 Cream in preparation for Phase III clinical testing in patients with erythematous rosacea and to further characterize the duration of the clinical effect”, more Phase 2 trials are to be taken.
Previous trials have examined 4 different concentrations and again 2 concentrations; this newly announced trial will examine 3 different concentrations against placebo. From this it would appear that the researchers are continuing to search for the best concentration to balance side effects with efficacy.
The trial record doesn’t detail the concentrations that will be examined.
The trial details suggest that 360 people will be recruited in Austin, Texas. This trial is scheduled to finish in November 2013.
What is Oxymetazoline?
Even though this trial doesn’t mention Oxymetazoline we know that that AGN-199201 is the code name for the oxymetazoline based product that Allergan purchased from Vicept Therapeutics.
Oxymetazoline is the active ingredient in decongestant products like Afrin, Sudafed OM and Vicks Sinex as well as in eye drops like Visine LR.
A well known side effect of Visine is rebound redness, where continued use leads to the redness that you were originally treating. Extended usage of Afrin can also lead to rebound nasal congestion.
