GOBI and MOJAVE study design—100% of
patients had evidence of evaporative DED1-3

The only approved Rx eye drop that required all patients in pivotal studies to
have clinical signs of MGD and TFBUT ≤5 seconds at enrollment1-3

Two 57-day, multicenter, double-masked, saline-controlled studies (GOBI and MOJAVE) were conducted in adults ≥18 years old with a self-reported history of DED in both eyes. Primary outcomes were change from baseline in tCFS and change from baseline in eye dryness score (Visual Analog Scale) at Day 57. Day 15 was the earliest time point at which signs and symptoms were evaluated in the trials. Day 57 was the last.1-3

The KALAHARI 1-year safety and tolerability extension study7

Go to primary endpoint safety data

Demonstrated efficacy and excellent safety profile over 1 year, reinforcing results from MIEBO pivotal trials7

Patients in the MIEBO continuation group maintained the improvements in tCFS and eye dryness scores that were observed in the GOBI study

Patients in the saline crossover group demonstrated improvements in tCFS and eye dryness by Week 4 of KALAHARI, and results were maintained through Week 52

Day 1 = GOBI Visit 4 (Day 57) and KALAHARI Visit 1 (start of open-label MIEBO treatment) for those who enrolled in KALAHARI.7

QID, 4 times daily; SEM, standard error of the mean.

In KALAHARI, MIEBO demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile while maintaining efficacy results consistent with the phase 3 GOBI study.7

KALAHARI study design7

208 patients from the GOBI study continued into KALAHARI and received MIEBO QID for 52 weeks

KALAHARI was a 52-week, multicenter, single-arm, open-label extension study in adults ≥18 years old who completed the GOBI study. The primary safety endpoint was the occurrence of ocular and non-ocular adverse events (AEs). Efficacy endpoints included change from GOBI study baseline in tCFS and eye dryness score.

See the full study design
Study design diagram Study
  • Baseline ocular characteristics for patients included in KALAHARI were similar between patients assigned to MIEBO or hypotonic saline control in the GOBI study7
  • Overall, 14 (6.7%) patients took ≥1 concomitant ocular medication (either eye) during the KALAHARI study. Ten patients (4.8%) used adjunctive artificial tears/mineral oil, as permitted, after Week 47
  • Most patients (93.8%) were considered compliant with dosing7

Select outcome measures7

SAFETY
Primary
  • Occurrence of ocular and non-ocular AEs over 52 weeks
Secondary
  • Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA)
  • Slit-lamp biomicroscopy
  • Intraocular pressure (IOP)
  • Dilated fundoscopy
EFFICACY
  • Change from baseline in tCFS and eye dryness score at Week 52*
OTHER ENDPOINTS
  • Satisfaction with MIEBO, comfort of drop on instillation, and ease of administration (VAS, scale of 0 to 10)

OSDI, Ocular Surface Disease Index; QID, 4 times daily; TFBUT, tear film breakup time.

*National Eye Institute (NEI) scale: 0-3; tCFS: sum of NEI scale ratings for 5 corneal areas (0-15); eye dryness VAS: 0-100.7

Study limitations include open-label design, lack of a control group, and exclusion of patients with severe dry eye (tCFS >11).7

INDICATION

MIEBO® (perfluorohexyloctane ophthalmic solution) is indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

  • MIEBO should not be administered while wearing contact lenses. Contact lenses should be removed before use and for at least 30 minutes after administration of MIEBO
  • Instruct patients to instill one drop of MIEBO into each eye four times daily
  • The safety and efficacy in pediatric patients below the age of 18 have not been established
  • The most common ocular adverse reaction was blurred vision (1% to 3% of patients reported blurred vision and conjunctival redness)

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
