Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca
Dry Eye Syndromes
Interventions
Drug: KPI-121 0.25% Ophthalmic Suspension
Drug: Vehicle of KPI-121 0.25% Ophthalmic Suspension
Registration Number
NCT02813265
Lead Sponsor
Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension compared to vehicle (placebo) in subjects who have a documented clinical diagnosis of dry eye disease. The product will be studied over 14 days, with 1-2 drops instilled in each eye four times daily (QID).

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 3, multi-center, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension versus vehicle in subjects with dry eye disease.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Bulbar Conjunctival Hyperemia at Visit 4 (Day 15)Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

Comparison of mean bulbar conjunctival hyperemia 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.

Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score at Visit 4 (Day 15)Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

Comparison of mean corneal fluorescein staining 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.

Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Ocular Discomfort Severity at Visit 4 (Day 15)Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.

Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) Ocular Discomfort Severity at Visit 4 (Day 15) in the Subgroup of Participants With More Severe Ocular DiscomfortBaseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse, in a sub-group of participants with more severe ocular discomfort at baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Ocular Discomfort Severity Scores on Day 4 Day 4 (Diary) Minus Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in the Subgroup of Participants With More Severe Ocular DiscomfortBaseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 3 (Day 8)

Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse, in a sub-group of participants with more severe ocular discomfort at baseline.

Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Conjunctival Hyperemia Scores With a Day 1 Conjunctival Hyperemia Score of ≥ 2 in the Subgroup of Participants With More Severe Ocular DiscomfortBaseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

Comparison of mean bulbar conjunctival hyperemia between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-4 grading scale in a sub-group of participants with more severe ocular discomfort at baseline.. 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.
