Efficacy and Safety of SHJ002 Ophthalmic Solution in the Treatment of Corneal Erosion in Sjogren's Patients

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Corneal Erosion
Interventions
Other: Vehicle
Registration Number
NCT06381986
Lead Sponsor
Sunhawk Vision Biotech, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to measure efficacy and safety with 0.25% SHJ002 sterile ophthalmic solution compared to vehicle in treating corneal erosion in Sjogren's patients.

SHJ002 is an antisense oligonucleotide to neutralize a specific microRNA.

Detailed Description

Participants will be randomized to treatment with SHJ002 Ophthalmic Solution or vehicle which will be administered to each eye twice daily for 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To assess the efficacy of SHJ002 sterile ophthalmic solution relative to vehicle as measured by corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) scoreweek 12

Change from Baseline in corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) score

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To assess the efficacy of SHJ002 sterile ophthalmic solution relative to the vehicle as measured by central corneal fluorescein staining (cCFS) scoreweek 12

Change from Baseline in central corneal fluorescein staining (cCFS) score

To assess the efficacy of SHJ002 sterile ophthalmic solution relative to the vehicle as measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)week 12

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

100-mm horizontal scale, filled in by participant on the horizontal line from 0 (no discomfort) to 100 (maximal discomfort).

To assess the efficacy of SHJ002 sterile ophthalmic solution relative to the vehicle as measured by Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye (SANDE)week 12

Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye (SANDE)

The SANDE scale ranges from 0 to 100 with 100 being the maximal amount of dry eye symptoms and 0 being the minimal amount of dry eye symptoms
