Keywords
TL-925, Phase II
Brief summary
In this prospective, Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm study, approximately 100 subjects with moderate to severe dry eye disease (DED) will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either TL-925 or placebo as topical ophthalmic eye drops administered bilaterally BID. The study will comprise two phases: 2-weeks screening/run-in and 4-weeks double-masked treatment.
Interventions
TL-925 is an eye drop.
The composition of the placebo is identical to the active formulation except for the exclusion of the active ingredient.

Masking description
The Sponsor, Investigators and study staff will be masked during the randomization process and throughout the study. The study site will have the capacity to unmask participants in an emergency. Following completion of the study, the randomization code will be unmasked once all data has been entered into the Study database for every subject and the database has been locked.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Adverse events during screening & treatment period | Baseline to the end of day 29 (±2 days) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in corneal and conjunctival staining | Baseline to the end of day 29 (±2 days) | Fluorescein staining by region in designated study eye will be used. Results will be assessed using a 5-point Corneal and Conjunctival Staining Scale. |
| Change from baseline in ocular discomfort | Baseline to the end of day 29 (±2 days) | Visual analog scale (VAS) will be used. This will assess patients on a a 7-item 100-point scale based on ocular discomfort. |
| Change from baseline visual acuity | Baseline to the end of day 29 (±2 days) | Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) will be used to determine change in visual acuity from baseline. |
