A Phase 3 interventional study of KPI-121 Ophthalmic Suspension and Vehicle in Kerato Conjunctivitis Sicca, sponsored by Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc.. Completed at 81 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-04-02.
Sponsored by Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
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).
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.
1,366 studies on the registry are indexed under Dry Eye Syndromes; 207 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 901 is above the median of 60 across 1,129 interventional studies indexed under Dry Eye Syndromes.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Ran from Jul 2018 to primary completion in Feb 2020, 18 months.
Results were first posted in Apr 2021, 1 year 1 month after primary completion.
Of 81 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Dry Eye Syndromes, half reached primary completion within 9 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 15. This study's 18 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 96 studies reached it within 10 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 15.
