From the impact of technology use on eye health, to unexplored therapeutics, to accelerating research and development, this new event will showcase the urgent need for innovative clinical solutions to benefit current and future patients.
About OK-101
OK-101 is a lipid conjugated chemerin peptide agonist of the ChemR23 G-protein coupled receptor which is typically found on immune cells of the eye responsible for the inflammatory response. OK-101 was developed using a membrane-anchored-peptide technology to produce a novel long-acting drug candidate for treating dry eye disease. OK-101 has been shown to produce anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing efficacy signals in mouse models of dry eye disease and corneal neuropathic pain (NCP), respectively, and is designed to combat washout through the inclusion of the lipid anchor built into the drug molecule to enhance the residence time of OK-101 within the ocular environment. OK-101 recently showed statistical significance in multiple endpoints in a recently completed Phase 2, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of OK-101 to treat DED.

關於 Dry Horizons Symposium
團結臨床領導者和行業創新者,共同應對乾眼市場的重大挑戰。隨着乾眼病患病率的上升、現有治療方法的缺陷以及在最近成功療法基礎上推進臨床路徑的新機遇,本次研討會將深入報道乾眼症的全球格局,併爲進一步創新的機會提供機會。從技術使用對眼睛健康的影響,到未開發的療法,再到加速研發,這一新活動將展示對創新臨床解決方案的迫切需求,以使當前和未來的患者受益。
關於 OK-101
OK-101 是 ChemR23 G 蛋白偶聯受體的脂質偶聯的 chemerin 肽激動劑,該受體通常存在於負責炎症反應的眼睛免疫細胞中。OK-101 使用膜錨肽技術開發,用於生產治療乾眼病的新型長效候選藥物。在乾眼病和角膜神經性疼痛 (NCP) 的小鼠模型中,OK-101 已被證明可分別產生抗炎和減痛的功效信號,旨在通過在藥物分子中加入脂質錨來延長 OK-101 在眼部環境中的停留時間來對抗沖洗。在最近完成的 OK-101 治療 DED 的 2 期、多中心、雙盲、安慰劑對照試驗中,OK-101 在多個終點顯示出統計學意義。
