Brief summary

The primary efficacy endpoint is the mean change from baseline to Week 8 in symptoms of dry eye assessed by SANDE Global Score [Time Frame: week 8 (V5)].

Detailed description

● Proportion of patients improving to Schirmer-I test without anesthesia ≥10mm/5min in the Study Eye [Time Frame: at week 4 (V4)], ● Mean change from baseline in Schirmer-I score without anesthesia in the Study Eye [Time frame: at week 4 (V4)], ● Mean change from baseline in total corneal fluorescein staining (NEI scale) in the Study Eye as assessed by the investigator [Time Frame: at week 4 (V4)], ● Mean change from baseline in Schirmer-I score without anesthesia in the Study Eye [Time frame: at week 8 (V5)], ● Proportion of patients improving to Schirmer-I test without anesthesia ≥10mm/5min in the Study Eye [Time Frame: at week 8 (V5)], ● Mean change from baseline in fluorescein tear break-up time (fTBUT)- in the Study Eye [Time Frame: at weeks 4 (V4) and 8 (V5)], ● Mean change from baseline in symptoms questionnaire (SANDE) scores for severity and frequency [Time Frame: at weeks 4 (V4) and 8 (V5)], ● Mean change from baseline in symptoms of dry eye assessed by SANDE Global Score [Time Frame: at week 4 (V4)], ● Mean change from baseline in total conjunctival lissamine green staining (NEI scale) in the Study eye as assessed by the investigator [Time Frame: at week 4 (V4)], ● Mean change from baseline in ocular pain assessed by the OPAS questionnaire’s pain scale [Time Frame: at weeks 4 (V4) and 8 (V5)], ● Mean change from baseline in best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) [Time Frame: at weeks 4 (V4) and 8 (V5)], ● Mean change from baseline of QoL assessed by the OPAS questionnaire’s QoL score [Time Frame: at weeks 4 (V4) and 8 (V5)], ● Safety will be monitored by the incidence and frequency of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) assessed throughout the study including Run-In period., ● Mean change from baseline in corneal endothelial cell density in both eyes performed at sites that have a specular microscope [Time Frame: at week 8 (V5)], ● Change from baseline in the proportion of patients with vitritis, retinal or vitreal hemorrhages, increase in cup-to-disc ratio, retinal or posterior vitreal detachment, retinal tears, or maculopathy on dilated fundus exam (DFE) in both eyes [Time Frame: at week 8 (V5)], ● Mean change from baseline in bulbar conjunctival redness in both eyes (VBR 10 score) [Time Frame: at weeks 4 (V4) and 8 (V5)], ● Treatment discontinuation rate due to tolerability issues.
