Brief Summary
This Phase I study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of BT01001 Ophthalmic Solution in healthy adult volunteers. The primary objectives are to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple ascending doses and to characterize the pharmacokinetics of BT01001 Ophthalmic Solution following topical ocular administration. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial consisting of four ascending dose cohorts. Each cohort will enroll eight participants, including six receiving BT01001 Ophthalmic Solution and 2 receiving Placebo.
