To Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HUC3-053 in Patients With Dry Eye Syndrome

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blinded, Non-inferiority Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HUC3-053 Compared With Hyalein Mini Eye Drops in Patients With Dry Eye Syndrome

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, non-inferiority study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HUC3-053 in patients with dry eye syndrome.

After a 2-week run-in period, patients will be randomized equally to the HUC3-053 or Hyalein Mini Eye Drops administered bilaterally five to six times a day for 12 weeks.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, non-inferiority study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HUC3-053 in patients with dry eye syndrome.

During a 2-week study run-in period prior to randomization, all subjects will receive rescue drug bilaterally up to 4 times a day. Randomization will then occur as 1:1 where patients will be assigned to receive HUC3-053 or Hyalein Mini Eye Drops given bilaterally five to six times a day. The treatment period is 12 weeks.

• Best corrected visual acuity ≥ 0.2 in both eyes at Screening and Randomization Visit
