Dose Ranging Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Voclosporin Ophthalmic Solution in Subjects With Dry Eye Syndrome

A Phase 2/3 interventional study of 0.05% Voclosporin Ophthalmic Solution (VOS) and 0.10% VOS in Dry Eye Syndrome and Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca, sponsored by Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc.. Completed at 9 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-12-10.

Registry
Dry Eye Syndromes — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.
ClinicalTrials.gg
Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca
Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca, a narrower term within Dry Eye Syndromes.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

A Multi-Center, Phase 2/3, Randomized, Double-Masked, Parallel-Group, Vehicle-Controlled, Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Voclosporin Ophthalmic Solution (0.05%, 0.10%, 0.20%) Compared to Vehicle in Subjects with Dry Eye Syndrome.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2/3, multi-center, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of three different concentrations of VOS when administered in both eyes (OU) twice a day (BID) over 12 weeks in subjects with mild to moderate DES. Subjects will undergo a 14- to 17-day run-in period in which VOS vehicle will be self-administered OU, BID. Subjects will be re-assessed to confirm they meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. It is estimated that the study will enroll approximately 480 subjects across approximately 9 study centers. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to one of the following study treatment groups after the 14- to 17-day run-in period.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

Investigational drug or device

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects With a ≥10 mm Increase From Baseline in Schirmer Tear Test (STT)

    Number of subjects with a ≥10 mm increase from baseline in STT at Week 4 in the study eye. The STT scale is a measure of tear production with a minimum of 0 mm and no there is no specified maximum for this scale.

    Time frame: 4 Weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Eye Dryness

    Mean change from baseline in Eye Dryness Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in subjects with a baseline Eye Dryness VAS score ≥ 60 mm. Eye Dryness Visual Analogue Scale 0-100 mm, where 0 corresponds to "no discomfort" and 100 corresponds to "maximal discomfort."

    Time frame: Value at 4 Weeks minus value at baseline
