Frequently asked questions about bromfenac

What is bromfenac?

Bromfenac is a small molecule ophthalmic medicine developed by Bausch + Lomb Corporation (ticker BLCO). It is studied in ophthalmology for allergic conjunctivitis, cataract, cataract surgery, pain, and postoperative complications. Bromfenac ophthalmic solution is also the name used for its eye drop formulation.

What is bromfenac used for?

Bromfenac is used for ophthalmic conditions including allergic conjunctivitis, cataract, cataract surgery, pain, and postoperative complications. Its clinical trial program has focused on patients undergoing cataract surgery, where it has been evaluated for pain and inflammation outcomes in placebo-controlled Phase 3 studies.

What does bromfenac target?

Bromfenac targets PTGS2 and PTGS1, also known as cyclooxygenase-2 and cyclooxygenase-1. It acts as an inhibitor of these enzymes. By inhibiting PTGS2 and PTGS1, bromfenac belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory class of small molecule agents used in eye care.

Who makes bromfenac?

Bromfenac is developed by Bausch + Lomb Corporation, which trades under the ticker BLCO. The company is the sponsor behind the ophthalmic solution program for bromfenac across its studied eye care indications.

What phase is bromfenac in?

Bromfenac is in Phase 3 clinical development. Its Phase 3 program includes completed trials, and no active trials are currently listed. The studies were randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, with a combined enrollment of 1,261 participants.

What clinical trials is bromfenac in?

Bromfenac has been studied in completed Phase 3 trials including NCT01367249, NCT00853970, NCT00704418, and NCT00703781. These trials enrolled adults aged 18 years and older in the United States and evaluated bromfenac ophthalmic solution in patients undergoing cataract surgery, with enrollment ranging from 126 to 440 participants.

Is bromfenac the same as bromfenac ophthalmic solution?

Yes, bromfenac ophthalmic solution is another name for bromfenac. The terms refer to the same small molecule developed by Bausch + Lomb Corporation, formulated as an eye drop for ophthalmic use in conditions such as cataract surgery, pain, and postoperative complications.
