Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of KPI-121 in Subjects With Dry Eye Disease (NCT NCT02188160)

NCT ID: NCT02188160

Last Updated: 2021-01-06

Results Overview

Comparison of mean bulbar conjunctival hyperemia in the study eye between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-4 grading scale. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

Measure
KPI-121 0.25% Ophthalmic Suspension
KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension dosed QID for 28 days in subjects with dry eye disease KPI-121: KPI-121 drug product will be supplied as 0.25% as a suspension in identically packaged opaque dropper bottles. KPI-121 drug product is a sterile, aqueous, submicron suspension of loteprednol etabonate.
Vehicle
Vehicle (placebo) dosed QID for 28 days in subjects with dry eye disease Placebo: Subjects randomized to placebo control arms will receive the same bottles containing all components at the concentrations used in the KPI-121 drug product with the exception of the active component, loteprednol etabonate.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Visit 4 (Day 15) and Visit 6 (Day 29)

Population: ITT

Comparison of mean corneal fluorescein staining scores in the study eye between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using methods developed by the National Eye Institute (NEI) Dry Eye Workshop in evaluating 5 regions of the cornea (superior, inferior, nasal, temporal and central) using a 0-3 grading scale, where 0 = no visible staining, 1 = Mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe. The total score is obtained by summing each of the 5 sections of the cornea. The NEI score will be from 0-15.
