Brief summary
This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OXERVATE® 0.002% (20 mcg/mL) cenegermin-bkbj ophthalmic solution in patients with Stage 1 neurotrophic keratitis (NK).
Detailed description
This is a 8-week, multicenter, open label, prospective study with 24 weeks of follow-up to evaluate safety and efficacy of OXERVATE® 0.002% (20 mcg/mL) cenegermin-bkbj ophthalmic solution in patients with Stage 1 neurotrophic keratitis (NK)
Interventions
OXERVATE® 0.002% (20 mcg/mL) cenegermin-bkbj ophthalmic solution administered as one drop in the affected eye(s), 6 times a day at 2-hour intervals for 8 weeks, in patients with Stage 1 neurotrophic keratitis.

Have current or history of conditions that may confound the study data including but not limited to Ocular Cicatricial Pemphigoid (OCP), Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD), neuromyelitis optica, uncontrolled dry eye, and Steven Johnson's syndrome. 3. History of severe systemic allergy or severe ocular allergy (including seasonal conjunctivitis expected during the subject's participation in the trial) or chronic conjunctivitis and/or keratitis other than dry eye disease. 4. Patients with severe vision loss with no potential for visual improvement in the study eye, in the opinion of the investigator, or if the subject is deemed legally blind. 5.

Corneal Epithelial Healing
Percentage of patients who experienced corneal epithelial healing. Corneal epithelial healing was defined by the central reading center as the absence of persistent epithelial staining abnormalities related to disease.
Time frame: Week 8
Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) - All enrolled patients who received at least one dose of the study drug. The FAS was used both for efficacy and safety analyses. Observed cases (n=33)
