Brief Summary

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

The primary objective of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of KPI-012 compared to vehicle in participants who have a documented clinical diagnosis of PCED.

Detailed Description

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

Approximately 90 participants diagnosed with persistent corneal epithelial defect (PCED) will be enrolled at multiple US centers in a study to assess the safety and efficacy of KPI-012, a topical mesenchymal stem cell secretome therapy. After an initial cohort of at least 2 participants to evaluate the safety of the high strength product, participants in the second cohort will be randomized to treatment with either the product or vehicle (placebo) for 8 weeks. The percentage of healing will be compared between groups treated with product and vehicle. Total length of study participation will be approximately 34 weeks.
