DY002: Safety and Effectiveness of DYME as an Agent for Selective Staining of the Anterior Capsule During Cataract Surgery

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Mature Cataracts
Interventions
Drug: DYME
Registration Number
NCT00596492
Lead Sponsor
Aqumen Biopharmaceuticals, N.A.
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that DYME is safe and effective as a drug to facilitate continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) by selectively staining the anterior capsule. Secondary objectives are to compare the safety and effectiveness of DYME to that of a smaller dose of the same API.
