Oculis has announced the first patient first visit in its phase 2b RELIEF trial evaluating licaminlimab, the company’s novel anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha biologic eye drop, for treatment of moderate to severe dry eye disease.
“Licaminlimab is a promising topical candidate, which has already shown strong data in two prior trials with over 215 patients, where it demonstrated superiority over vehicle in alleviating ocular discomfort in patients with severe DED while also being well-tolerated,” Eric Donnenfeld, MD, clinical professor of ophthalmology at New York University
