Conditions
Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency

Registration Number
NCT06452316
Lead Sponsor
Claris Biotherapeutics, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study will enroll subjects with qualifying limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). All subjects will receive CSB-001 investigational drug in either one or both study eyes. The study is comprised of two identical phases (Dosing Phase I and II) of test article dosing separated by a 31- to 40-day period, the Dosing Holiday, where no test article is administered. Dosing Phase II is followed by an observational, noninterventional phase (Observation Phase).

  • Sponsor written confirmation of qualifying LSCD diagnosis.
  • Inflammation associated with LSCD or other non-infectious inflammation that will not interfere with subject's participation.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Any active ocular infection (bacterial, viral, fungal, or protozoan) in either eye.
  • Ocular surgery within 30 days of Day 0 where investigator assesses that healing is not considered complete/stable.
  • Planned ocular surgery on or before Week 20 visit.
  • Presence or history of any ocular or systemic disorder, condition, or procedure that might hinder the efficacy of the study treatment or its evaluation, or could interfere with the interpretation of study results, in the opinion of the investigator.
