Frequently asked questions about 0.75% Phentolamine

What is 0.75% Phentolamine used for?

0.75% Phentolamine is an ophthalmic solution being developed for presbyopia and for decreased mesopic visual acuity, or night vision loss, in patients who have undergone keratorefractive surgery. It is a small molecule in Phase 3 clinical development for these ophthalmology indications.

What does 0.75% Phentolamine target?

0.75% Phentolamine is an alpha-adrenergic antagonist that works by blocking alpha receptors in the iris dilator muscle, which reduces pupil size. This mechanism is intended to improve near vision in presbyopia and to reduce night vision disturbances after refractive surgery.

Who makes 0.75% Phentolamine?

0.75% Phentolamine is being developed by Opus Genetics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol IRD. The company is conducting Phase 3 clinical trials for this ophthalmic solution.

What phase is 0.75% Phentolamine in?

0.75% Phentolamine is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. Two Phase 3 trials have been conducted or are ongoing to evaluate its safety and efficacy for presbyopia and night vision loss.

What clinical trials is 0.75% Phentolamine in?

0.75% Phentolamine has been studied in two Phase 3 trials. NCT06542497, a completed trial with 569 participants, evaluated its efficacy and safety for presbyopia. NCT07140783, an ongoing recruiting trial with 200 participants, is assessing its use in keratorefractive surgery patients with decreased mesopic visual acuity.

Is 0.75% Phentolamine the same as 0.75% Phentolamine Ophthalmic Solution?

Yes, 0.75% Phentolamine is also known as 0.75% Phentolamine Ophthalmic Solution. Both names refer to the same investigational drug being developed by Opus Genetics for presbyopia and night vision loss.
