OKYO Pharma to Initiate Neuropathic Corneal Pain Trial for OK-101

 

• Phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial in neuropathic corneal pain (NCP) patients planned to begin in Q3, 2024
• OK-101 is believed to be the first IND clearance granted by FDA for a drug to begin clinical studies specifically to treat patients suffering with neuropathic corneal pain (NCP), a major unmet medical need
• OK-101 demonstrated statistically significant pain relief as measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) from Day 29 through the last study visit at Day 85 in a Phase 2 trial of dry eye disease, as well as reduced neuropathic corneal pain (NCP) in a preclinical mouse model
• NCP is an Orphan disease as listed in the National Organization for Rare Disorders
