Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of two different concentrations of ST-100 Ophthalmic Solution to placebo (vehicle) for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 2, multi-center, double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study. Subjects will be randomized to one of the following treatment arms at Visit 2 (Day 1): * Low dose ST-100 Ophthalmic Solution: 1 drop twice daily (BID) in each eye * High dose ST-100 Ophthalmic Solution: 1 drop BID in each eye * Placebo Ophthalmic Solution (Vehicle): 1 drop BID in each eye Approximately 150 subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups (1:1:1) to receive either ST-100 Ophthalmic Solution or placebo solution as topical ophthalmic drops administered bilaterally BID for 4 weeks. Subjects, Sponsor, Contract Research Organization (CRO), and site personnel will be masked to treatment assignment. The clinical hypotheses for this study is that low dose and high dose ST-100 Ophthalmic Solution twice daily (BID) is superior to its vehicle (BID) for the primary endpoints of signs and symptoms of dry eye.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline of Ocular Discomfort in the Study Eye at Visit 7 (Day 29) Pre-CAE
Time Frame: Visit 2 (Day 1) to Visit 7 (Day 29)
Ocular Discomfort Scale is graded using the Ora Calibra Ocular Discomfort Scale (ODS). The scale ranges from 0 means no discomfort to 4 means worst discomfort. Higher score indicates more discomfort.
Change From Baseline of Total Corneal Fluorescein Staining (Ora Calibra® Scale) in the Study Eye at Visit 7 (Day 29) Pre-Controlled Adverse Environment (Pre-CAE)
Time Frame: Visit 2 (Day 1) to Visit 7 (Day 29)
The fluorescein staining is graded with the Ora Calibra® Corneal and Conjunctival Staining Scale. The scale is used to evaluate 3 corneal regions. Staining in each region is graded 0 to 4 where 0 means no staining, and 4 means worst staining. Higher score indicates more staining. The scoring reported ranges from 0-12. Mean change from baseline was calculated.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline to Visit 6 (Day 15) in Ocular Surface Disease Index (Pain)(Visit 6 (Day 15) Pre-CAE)
- Change From Baseline to Visit 4 (Day 4) in Ocular Surface Disease Index (Blurred Vision)(Visit 4 (Day 4), Non-CAE)
- Change From Baseline in Ocular Discomfort Assessed by 4-Symptom Questionnaire(Visit 6 (Day 15) Pre-CAE)
- Unanesthetized Schirmer's Responder Rate(Visit 7 (Day 29), Pre-CAE)
- Change From Baseline of Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (ETDRS) - logMAR (Fellow Eye) at Visit 3 (Day 2)(Visit 3 (Day 2))
