Brief Summary

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

Evaluation of safety and efficacy of PL9643 Ophthalmic Solution compared to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.

Detailed Description

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

The clinical trial is a Phase 2, multi center, randomized, double masked and placebo controlled study.

During a 14-day study run-in period (for the purpose of subject selection) prior to randomization, all subjects will receive Placebo Ophthalmic Solution (vehicle) bilaterally. During the screening period, exposure to the CAEĀ® will be conducted to ascertain eligibility to enter the study at Visit 1 and Visit 2. Those who qualify at Visit 2 will be randomized to receive study drug in a double-masked fashion for 12 weeks. The CAEĀ® exposure will occur at all Visits.
