A Phase 3 interventional study of 0.75% Phentolamine Ophthalmic Solution and Placebo in Vision Loss Night and Vision Disorders, sponsored by Opus Genetics, Inc. Recruiting at 20 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-14.
Sponsored by Opus Genetics, Inc · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Phentolamine Ophthalmic Solution works to treat adults that have had keratorefractive surgery and have decreased visual acuity under mesopic conditions. It will also learn about the safety of Phentolamine Ophthalmic Solution. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare Phentolamine Ophthalmic Solution to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if Phentolamine Ophthalmic Solution works to improve vision in low light conditions.
Participants will:
Take Phentolamine Ophthalmic Solution or a placebo drop every day for 2 weeks Visit the clinic once every week for 2 weeks for checkups and tests Keep a diary of when they instill the study medication each evening
OPI-NXYDLD-303 RANDOMIZED, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED, DOUBLE-MASKED STUDY OF THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF POS (0.75% PHENTOLAMINE OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION) IN PARTICIPANTS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY HAD KERATOREFRACTIVE SURGERY AND HAVE DECREASED VISUAL ACUITY UNDER MESOPIC CONDITIONS
67 studies on the registry are indexed under Vitamin A Deficiency; 7 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 580 is above the median of 200 across 49 interventional studies indexed under Vitamin A Deficiency.

Able to self-administer study medication
Inclusion criteria #5, #6, #7, and #8 must all be met in the same eye:
Exclusion Criteria:
Ophthalmic (in either eye unless otherwise noted):
Previously undiagnosed dry eye, at the determination of the Investigator. Dry eye diagnosis should be based on one of the following dry eye test results: tear break-up time \< 5 seconds, or corneal fluorescein staining ≥ Grade 2 in the inferior zone or ≥ Grade 1 in the central zone using the National Eye Institute scale
Systemic:
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.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
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.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
