Clinical Trials
Aerie Pharmaceuticals pursues robust clinical development programs for its product candidates. In 17 completed trials (including AR-13324-CS103 and -CS205) of Rhopressa® (netarsudil ophthalmic solution) 0.02% (including the Phase 3 ROCKET studies) and Rocklatan® (netarsudil and latanoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.02%/0.005% (including the Phase 3 MERCURY studies) completed to date, more than 2,600 subjects have had at least one dose of the study medication (either netarsudil or netarsudil/latanoprost). The netarsudil/latanoprost fixed-dose combination is now being studied in 13 European countries in MERCURY 3. A phase 2 clinical study with Rhopressa® is ongoing in Japan. Aerie has also initiated a Phase 2 study with its investigational retina product AR-1105 (Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant) and expects to enter the clinic with a second investigational retina product, AR-13503 Sustained Release Implant, in the second quarter of 2019.
All completed and currently enrolling clinical studies are summarized in the table below. More details on these protocols, including final results when available, can be accessed through the ClinicalTrials.gov website.
