TearClear Announces Positive Topline Results From Clear Phase 3 Study for the Treatment of Glaucoma
TearClear, an ophthalmic pharmaceutical company that transforms trusted drugs into branded best-in-class therapies, announced that the company’s lead product, TC-002 (latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005%) met the primary and all secondary endpoints in the CLEAR Phase 3 pivotal trial. With these results, TearClear plans to file a New Drug Application (NDA) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the first quarter of 2023. Upon approval, TC-002 will offer patients the first and only means of delivering preservative-free doses of latanoprost from conventional multi-dose bottles.
“TearClear is responding to an important unmet need. Many patients on preserved glaucoma medications experience moderate to severe signs and symptoms of ocular surface disease (OSD)1. This causes discomfort for patients, frustration for physicians and drives additional costs for payers,” said Stuart Raetzman, CEO of TearClear.
“Switching from preserved to unpreserved glaucoma medications significantly reduces the prevalence of signs and symptoms of OSD2. In these cases, physicians want to keep well controlled glaucoma patients on the same drug, payers want to reduce the additional costs related to OSD treatment and patients want to keep multi-dose bottles. Only TearClear addresses the needs of all stakeholders.”
