Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Responders at Day 15
Baseline (Day 1), Day 15

Response was defined as a two-step decrease or more from baseline in Anterior Chamber (AC) Cell Grade as per Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN). Baseline was defined as the measurement taken before drug administration on Day 1. Subjects receiving rescue treatment on or before Day 15 were considered non-responders. Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Mean Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at Each Visit
Baseline (Day 1), Day 4, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29

Visual Acuity (VA) with the subject's best spectacles or other visual corrective devices was measured using an Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) or Snellen visual acuity chart and reported in letters read correctly. An increase (gain) in letters read indicates improvement. Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Mean Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at Each Visit
Baseline (Day 1), Day 4, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29

IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using Goldmann applanation tonometry or Tonopen and reported in millimeters mercury (mmHg). A higher IOP can be a greater risk factor for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage). Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Number of Subjects With Increase From Baseline in Slit Lamp Parameters at Any Post-Treatment Visit
Baseline (Day 1), Day 4, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29

Slit-lamp biomicroscopy (examination) was performed to evaluate the anterior segment of the eye, including lids/lashes, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber (cells and flare), iris, and lens. Ocular signs were categorized as Aqueous Flare, Aqueous Inflammatory Cell Grade, Keratic Precipitates, Lens, Limbal Injection, Status of Lens, Peripheral Anterior Synechia, and Posterior Synechia. An increase indicates worsening. Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Number of Subjects With an Increase From Baseline in Dilated Fundus Parameters at Any Post-Treatment Visit
Baseline (Day 1), Day 4, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29

The dilated fundus examination was performed to evaluate the health of the vitreous, optic disc, retinal vessels, macula, and retinal periphery. An increase indicates worsening. Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Mean Change From Baseline in Global Ocular Discomfort Score at Day 71
Baseline (Day 43), Day 71

Discomfort frequency and severity (each graded on a separate 100-units scale) were assessed daily using a visual analog scale (VAS) displayed on a handheld digital Pad (electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO)). Frequency score was in response to the question 'how often your eyes felt uncomfortable during the past 24 hours' ranging from 'Rarely' to 'All the time.' Severity score was in response to the question 'how uncomfortable your eyes felt during the past 24 hours' ranging from 'Very mildly uncomfortable' to 'Very severely uncomfortable.' The Global Ocular Discomfort Score, ranging from 0 to 100, was calculated for any given day, as the square root of the product of the discomfort frequency score multiplied by the discomfort severity score. Improvement results in a reduction of the discomfort frequency or severity, or both, translating into a reduction of the resulting Global Ocular Discomfort score as compared to baseline. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)
Baseline (Day 43), Day 57, Day 71, Day 85

Visual Acuity (VA) with the subject's best spectacles or other visual corrective devices was measured using an ETDRS visual acuity chart at 3 meters (10 feet) and reported in letters read correctly. An increase (gain) in letters read indicates improvement. Both eyes contributed to the analysis.

Intraocular Pressure (IOP)
Baseline (Day 43), Day 57, Day 71, Day 85

IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using Goldmann applanation tonometry or Tonopen and measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). A higher IOP can be a greater risk factor for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage). Both eyes contributed to the analysis.

Percentage of Subjects With Increase in Slit-Lamp Parameter From Baseline to Any Visit
Baseline (Day 43), Day 57, Day 71, Day 85

Ocular signs (cornea, lens, and iris/anterior chamber) were assessed by slit-lamp biomicroscopy. An increase indicates worsening. Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Percentage of Subjects With Increase in Dilated Fundus Parameter From Baseline to Any Visit
Baseline (Day 43), Day 57, Day 71, Day 85

The dilated fundus examination was performed to evaluate the health of the vitreous, retina, macula, choroid, and optic nerve. An increase indicates worsening. Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Frequently asked questions about LME636

What is LME636?

LME636 is an investigational small molecule ophthalmic solution developed by Alcon Inc. (ticker ALC). It is being studied in Phase 2 clinical trials for two eye conditions: acute anterior uveitis and dry eye disease. LME636 is not yet approved and remains in clinical development.

What is LME636 used for?

LME636 is being evaluated for the treatment of acute anterior uveitis and for the relief of persistent ocular discomfort in patients with severe dry eye disease. Both are inflammatory or discomfort-related conditions of the eye. The drug is investigational and has not been approved for any use.

Who makes LME636?

LME636 is developed by Alcon Inc., which trades under the ticker ALC. Alcon is an eye care company, and LME636 is part of its ophthalmology pipeline as an investigational ophthalmic solution in Phase 2 development.

What phase is LME636 in?

LME636 is in Phase 2 development. Two Phase 2 trials have been completed, one in acute anterior uveitis and one in severe dry eye disease. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is LME636 in?

LME636 has been studied in two completed Phase 2 trials. NCT02482129 was a proof of concept study evaluating safety and efficacy in acute anterior uveitis with 45 participants. NCT02365519 evaluated LME636 in 514 subjects with severe dry eye disease. Both trials are completed.

Is LME636 the same as LME636 ophthalmic solution?

Yes. LME636 is also referred to as LME636 ophthalmic solution, LME636 60 mg/mL ophthalmic solution, and LME636/mL. These names describe the same investigational small molecule eye drop developed by Alcon Inc. for acute anterior uveitis and dry eye disease.
