Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether topical ocular administration of LME636 60 mg/mL is efficacious in resolving the ocular inflammation in the anterior chamber (AC) associated with acute anterior uveitis (AAU).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eligible subjects will be randomized to LME636 or Dexamethasone in a 3:1 ratio at the time they present to the trial site with the AAU flare and will enter treatment for 28 full days. Subjects with worsening disease from Visit 2/Day 4 onward or subjects without improvement after 14 days of treatment will be discontinued from treatment, unmasked and treated with a rescue regimen at the discretion of the investigator.
