Conditions

Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy

Brief summary

Time to ≥40 ETDRS letter improvement in BCVA during the first 12 weeks after descemetorhexis.

Detailed description

Key secondary endpoints: • Time to ≥20 ETDRS letter improvement during the first 12 weeks after descemetorhexis. • Time to achievement of ≥70 ETDRS letters during the first 12 weeks after descemetorhexis. • Central corneal ECD change from baseline at Week 12. • Time to achievement of no corneal edema in both areas (epithelial, stromal) during the first 12 weeks after descemetorhexis. • Time to exceed pre-DSO ETDRS letter score in BCVA during the first 12 weeks after descemetorhexis.

Interventions

DRUGA matching sterile product (Placebo Ophthalmic Solution) will be provided using the same excipient formulation as the active K-321 product.
