Assessment of the Safety and Efficacy of 0.1% RGN-259 Ophthalmic Solution for the Treatment of NK: SEER-2

Phase 3
Recruiting
Conditions
Neurotrophic Keratopathy
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05555589
Lead Sponsor
ReGenTree, LLC
Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of RGN-259 to placebo for the treatment of Neurotrophic Keratopathy (NK)

Detailed Description

Neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) is a degenerative corneal disease that occurs as a result of partial or total impairment of trigeminal innervation. The resulting loss of corneal sensitivity (anesthesia) leads to a reduction in lacrimation and a decline in status, metabolism, and mitosis of corneal epithelial cells.
