Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defect

This is a phase 3, randomized, multicenter, double-masked, parallel group, vehicle-controlled prospective clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cenegermin in inducing complete epithelial healing in participants with PCED. The primary objective is the evaluation of complete epithelial healing after 4 weeks of treatment. The study is comprised of 3 periods: an 8-week initial treatment period (Day 1 to Week 8), an 8-week extension treatment period (Week 9 to Week 16), and a 24-week follow-up period (Week 17 to Week 40).

After an initial period of standard treatment, they received further care aimed at helping the surface of the eye heal. Clear instructions were given on how to use and store the treatment properly. Patients were then monitored regularly over several months, with doctors checking their healing progress during follow-up visits. The study continued for a total of 24 weeks to observe how well and how quickly the eye surface recovered.

In this phase II randomized double-masked clinical trials, subjects with non-resolving corneal epithelial disease/defect (i.e., refractory to standard treatments for at least two weeks) will receive 8 weeks treatment of topical mesenchymal stem cell secretome or vehicle, with continued follow-up for up to Day 70.

This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NEXAGON® (lufepirsen ophthalmic gel) (NEXAGON) in subjects with persistent corneal epithelial defects (PCED). The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NEXAGON in this population.
