Thymosin Beta 4 (Tβ4) is a synthetic copy of the naturally-occurring 43-amino acid peptide that is found in a variety of tissues. Tβ4 promotes/accelerates wound repair in dermal, ocular, and cardiac animal models. Two recent pre-clinical evaluations have demonstrated that Tβ4 promotes corneal ocular surface defects healing in animal models of dry eye. RGN-259 (formulation of Tβ4 ophthalmic solution) mechanism of action offers potential to be a product that meets a major unmet medical need in patients with dry eye.

Primary | Corneal Staining (Inferior Region) in the Worst Eye in the Controlled Adverse Environment (CAE) Model, Which is a Regulated Environmental Setting Aimed at Exacerbating the Signs and Symptoms of Dry Eye | This is a test that uses orange dye (fluorescein) and a blue light to detect ocular surface defects associated with dry eye. If the test result is normal, the dye remains in the tear film on the surface of the eye and does not adhere to the eye itself. The test is carried out throughout the study till end of treatment Day 29. However, the primary outcome measure itself is determined on Day 29. The scale used to determine the difference in corneal fluorescein staining between RGN-259 and placebo is the ORA scale: 0= no staining (no detectable ocular defect)to 4= confluent staining( severe ocular defect). Worst eye: In the case that both eyes were eligible for analysis, the worst eye was chosen as the eye with the greater increase of inferior corneal staining from Visit 1 to Visit 2. If both eyes were equal, the eye with greater ocular discomfort at Visit 2 was chosen as the worst eye. If both eyes were equal at Visit 2, then the right eye was chosen as the worst eye. |
Day 29 (end of treatment) | No |
Primary | Ocular Discomfort in the Worst Eye in the Controlled Adverse Environment(CAE) Model, Which is a Regulated Environmental Setting Aimed at Exacerbating the Signs and Symptoms of Dry Eye. | Dry eye causes ocular discomfort, which is measured using a validated 4-point ORA Scale from the start of the dosing till the end of treatment (Day 29). 0 = no discomfort to 4 = constant discomfort. If the measurement is lower, then improvement of ocular discomfort can be inferred. The test is carried out throughout the study till end of treatment Day 29. However, the primary outcome measure itself is determined on Day 29. Worst eye: In the case that both eyes were eligible for analysis, the worst eye was chosen as the eye with the greater increase of inferior corneal staining from Visit 1 to Visit 2. If both eyes were equal, the eye with greater ocular discomfort at Visit 2 was chosen as the worst eye. If both eyes had were equal at Visit 2, then the right eye was chosen as the worst eye. |
Day 29 (end of treatment) | No |
Secondary | Number of Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability | The Adverse events, which will be followed, are: impairment of visual acuity, an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), and an increase in corneal sensitivity in both eyes. | Throughout the study till Day 29 | Yes |
