A Three Part, First-in-human, Randomized, Double-masked, Placebo-Controlled, Safety, Tolerability and Early Efficacy Study of MGV354 in Healthy Subjects and in Patients With Ocular Hypertension or Glaucoma

The purpose of this study is to determine if the clinical profile of topical-ocular MGV354
merits further development for the indication of lowering intraocular pressure (IOP).

Part 1 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of MGV354
compared to placebo in healthy male and female subjects. Part 2 will evaluate the safety and
tolerability of MGV354 in a multiple ascending dose design (two highest tolerated doses from
Part 1) compared to placebo when administered for 7 days to patients with ocular
hypertension or glaucoma. Part 3 will explore the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a
single dose level of MGV354 (maximum tolerated dose) compared to placebo when administered
for 7 days in patients with ocular hypertension or glaucoma.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Documented informed consent.

- Part 1: 18 to 70 years of age;

- Parts 2 and 3: 18 years of age or older;

- Able to communicate well with the investigator and understand and comply with the
requirements of the study;

- Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18 and 39;

- In case of contact lens wear, willing to remove lenses 30 minutes before the first
assessment until the end of the study. Corrective spectacles may be worn as needed.

- Sitting vital signs (systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate) within
normal ranges as specified in the protocol;

- Part 1 (Healthy Volunteers): In good health as determined by past medical history,
physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram, and laboratory tests at
screening.

- Parts 2 and 3 (Patients): Diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or confirmed ocular
hypertension; mean IOP measurements in at least one eye after washout as specified in
the protocol

- Other protocol-specified inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion criteria:

- History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or to drugs of similar chemical
classes;

- History of or current presence of clinically significant ECG abnormalities or
arrhythmias;

- History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma
of the skin or in-situ cervical or breast cancer), treated or untreated, within the
past 5 years;

- Known clinical history of heart failure, myocardial infarction, or stroke;

- Exposure during the four weeks preceding the Screening visit to any topical, inhaled,
or systemic corticosteroids;

- Angle grade less than Grade 2 in either eye;

- Any abnormality, including corneal thickness > 620 microns, preventing reliable
applanation tonometry;

- Pregnant or lactating women and women of child-bearing potential;

- Sexually active males must agree to use a condom during intercourse while taking drug
and for 6 days after stopping MGV354 medication and should not father a child in this
period;

- Positive HIV, Hepatitis B Ag or Hepatitis C Ab test result at Screening;

- Abnormal liver function tests;

- History or presence of impaired renal function;

- Part 1 (Healthy Volunteers): Use of any NEW prescription drugs or herbal supplements
within four (4) weeks prior to initial dosing, and/or NEW over-the-counter (OTC)
medication, dietary supplements (vitamins included) within two (2) weeks prior to
initial dosing.

- Parts 2 and 3 (Patients): Patients with specific disease condition(s) related to
open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension; patients who cannot safely discontinue
use of all topical ocular and/or systemic IOP-lowering medication according to
protocol-specified Washout Schedule; patients with ocular diseases or conditions as
specified in the protocol; patients taking certain medications as specified in the
protocol;

- Other protocol-specified exclusion criteria may apply.
