It is currently being developed for treating the signs and symptoms of DED, a common ocular disorder involving the abnormal production, composition and instability of tear film.

Earlier this year, Ocugen concluded a Phase ll clinical trial of OCU310 in patients with  DED.

In the placebo-controlled proof-of-concept trial, the patients were dosed with brimonidine tartrate (0.2%) twice a day for 84 days.

The trial met its endpoint of tolerability, as well as various other pre-defined exploratory endpoints for common signs and symptoms of DED, thereby supporting the range of endpoints for the Phase lll trial.
