Dexamethasone SR is under clinical development by Ocular Therapeutix and currently in the Phase II in clinical pathway. The characteristics of the clinical trial as well as other attributes related to the drug, regulations, and company play a fundamental role in ensuring the likelihood of transition that the drug moves from its current development stage to next.

According to GlobalData, the latest event to affect Dexamethasone SR’s likelihood of approval (LoA) and phase transition for Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (Dry Eye) took place on 21 Oct 2021, which decreased the likelihood that the drug progresses to the next phase in its clinical pathway.

GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of this assessment in their Dexamethasone SR Likelihood of Approval (LoA) and Phase Transition Success Rate (PTSR) Report.

Dexamethasone SR overview

Dexamethasone (Dextenza) is a hydroxysteroid derivative, acts as an anti inflammatory agent. It is formulated as sustained release implant (insert) for intracanalicular insertion. Dextenza is indicated for the treatment of ocular pain and inflammation following ophthalmic surgery. Dextenza is indicated for the treatment of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis.

Dexamethasone (OTX-DP) is under development for treatment of inflammatory dry eye disease and ocular itching in allergic conjunctivitis. The drug candidate is a sustained release dexamethasone intracanalicular depot. It is a hydrogel-based punctum plug that delivers sustained and tapered-release dexamethasone for up to 30 days up on single insertion. Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid. It is also under development for the treatment of post-surgical ocular inflammation and pain in children following cataract surgery.
