Frequently asked questions about Prednisolone Eyedrops

What is Prednisolone Eyedrops used for?

Prednisolone Eyedrops are used to treat anterior uveitis, a form of eye inflammation affecting the front part of the eye. The formulation is being developed by Kiora Pharmaceuticals as a topical ophthalmology treatment for this non-infectious inflammatory condition.

Prednisolone Eyedrops target NR3C1, the glucocorticoid receptor. Prednisolone acetate acts as an agonist at this receptor, which is the mechanism underlying its anti-inflammatory effect in the eye. The target class is an agonist, and the drug is a small molecule.

Who is developing Prednisolone Eyedrops?

Kiora Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is developing Prednisolone Eyedrops. The company trades under the ticker KPRX. The asset is an ophthalmology-focused small molecule in development for anterior uveitis.

What phase is Prednisolone Eyedrops in?

Prednisolone Eyedrops are in Phase 3 development. The program has completed one Phase 3 trial, and no trials are currently active. The drug remains investigational and is not approved.

What clinical trials are Prednisolone Eyedrops in?

Prednisolone Eyedrops have been studied in the Phase 3 trial NCT01505088, titled a Safety and Efficacy Study of Iontophoretic Dexamethasone Phosphate Ophthalmic Solution to Treat Non-Infectious Anterior Segment Uveitis. The trial was completed, enrolled 193 participants, was randomized, double blind, and active controlled, and was conducted in the United States.

Is Prednisolone Eyedrops the same as Prednisolone Acetate (1%) Eyedrops?

Yes. Prednisolone Eyedrops are also known as Prednisolone Acetate (1%) Eyedrops. The two names refer to the same Kiora Pharmaceuticals asset in development for anterior uveitis.
