Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER) today reported the completion of enrollment in the first of two planned Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating OMS103HP in patients undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy surgery. OMS103HP is a proprietary drug product added to standard irrigation solutions and delivered to the operative site throughout arthroscopy to preemptively block the molecular-signaling and biochemical cascade caused by surgical trauma and to improve postoperative functional outcomes.
The Phase 3 clinical program for OMS103HP is assessing the drug's safety and efficacy in improving postoperative joint function and reducing pain following arthroscopic partial meniscectomy surgery. The program is expected to consist of two randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, multicenter trials. The primary endpoint for both trials will be performance on the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), a validated patient-reported outcomes measure used in Omeros' earlier successful Phase 2 meniscectomy trial.
