5 Key Takeaways
  • 1

    Bausch + Lomb is advancing a dual-action dry eye drop combining lifitegrast and PFHO, moving to Phase 3 after Phase 2 results.

  • 2

    The dual-action therapy showed a significant reduction in corneal fluorescein staining at Day 15 compared to lifitegrast alone.

  • 3

    Bausch + Lomb's formulation uses over 50% less lifitegrast and is dosed at half the frequency of existing therapies.

  • 4

    BL1332, a TRPV1 antagonist, met its primary endpoint in a Phase 1b study, showing significant pain reduction in treated eyes.

  • 5

    BL1332 is now in Phase 2 trials for pain following photorefractive keratectomy, with results expected soon.
