Safety, PK and Efficacy Study of SJP-0132 in Subjects With Dry Eye Disease

A Randomized, Double-Masked, Single-Center, Placebo-Controlled Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of SJP-0132 in Subjects With Dry Eye Disease

This is the first study in humans to evaluate the effectiveness of SJP-0132 in the treatment of dry eye disease. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of single- and multiple-dose regimens of SJP-0132 in subjects with dry eye disease
