Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study evaluating the safety and tolerability of NCX 4251 (fluticasone propionate nanocrystal) Ophthalmic Suspension 0.1% QD and BID for the treatment of acute exacerbations of blepharitis. The study will be performed in two sequential dose escalating cohorts.

The study is designed to select the dose(s) of NCX 4251 to advance into the next stage of development, and to assess the safety and tolerability of NCX 4251 Ophthalmic Suspension.
