Safety and Efficacy of KPI-121 in Subjects With Dry Eye Disease

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension compared to vehicle (placebo) in subjects who have a documented clinical diagnosis of dry eye disease. The product will be studied over 14 days, with 1-2 drops instilled in each eye four times daily (QID).

About this study

This is a Phase 3, multi-center, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension versus vehicle in subjects with dry eye disease.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Bulbar Conjunctival Hyperemia at Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Comparison of mean bulbar conjunctival hyperemia between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-4 grading scale. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

  2. Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Ocular Discomfort Severity at Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.

  3. Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score at Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Comparison of mean corneal fluorescein staining between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using methods developed by the National Eye Institute (NEI) Dry Eye Workshop in evaluating 5 regions of the cornea (superior, inferior, nasal, temporal and central) using a 0-3 grading scale, where 0 = no visible staining, 1 = Mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe.

  4. Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) Ocular Discomfort Severity at Visit 4 (Day 15) in the Subgroup of Participants With More Severe Ocular Discomfort

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse, in a sub-group of participants with more severe ocular discomfort at baseline.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Conjunctival Hyperemia Scores at Visit 4 (Day 15) in the Subgroup of Participants With More Severe Ocular Discomfort at Baseline (Day 1)

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Comparison of mean bulbar conjunctival hyperemia between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-4 grading scale. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

  2. Proportion of Subjects With ≥1 Improvement in Conjunctival Hyperemia at Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Proportion of subjects with ≥1 improvement from baseline in conjunctival hyperemia scores. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

  3. Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) Conjunctival Hyperemia Scores at Visit 4 (Day 15) for the Mean of All Regions (Nasal, Temporal, Frontal)

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Comparison of mean bulbar conjunctival hyperemia between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-4 grading scale. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

  4. Change in Ocular Discomfort Severity Scores Prior to Visit 3 (Day 8) Minus the Mean of the Scores to Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1)

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 3 (Day 8)

    Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.

  5. Change in Ocular Discomfort Severity Scores Prior to Visit 3 (Day 8) Minus Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in the Subgroup of Participants With More Severe Ocular Discomfort.

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 3 (Day 8)

    Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.

  6. Change in Ocular Discomfort Severity Scores on Day 4 (Diary) Minus Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1)

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 3 (Day 8)

    Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.

  7. Change in Ocular Discomfort Severity Scores on Day 4 Day 4 (Diary) Minus Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in the Subgroup of Participants With More Severe Ocular Discomfort

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 3 (Day 8)

    Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse, in a sub-group of participants with more severe ocular discomfort at baseline.

  8. Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Conjunctival Hyperemia Scores With a Day 1 Conjunctival Hyperemia Score of ≥ 2 in the Subgroup of Participants With More Severe Ocular Discomfort

    Time frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Comparison of mean bulbar conjunctival hyperemia between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-4 grading scale in a sub-group of participants with more severe ocular discomfort at baseline.. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

  9. Subjects With a Grade of 0 in Conjunctival Hyperemia Score at Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Time frame: Visit 4 (Day 15)

    Comparison of mean bulbar conjunctival hyperemia between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-4 grading scale. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe
