Brief summary:
The objective of this study is to evaluate the chronic safety and effectiveness of OC-01 Nasal Spray as compared to placebo on signs of dry eye disease (DED).

Detailed description:
Study OPP-004 was a Phase 2, single-center, randomized, masked (including subjects, Investigators, and study site personnel), placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray in adult subjects with DED. The study planned to randomize approximately 120 subjects at least 22 years of age with a physicians' diagnosis of Dry Eye Disease and meeting all other study eligibility criteria to receive an application of OC-01 or placebo BID for 12 weeks. Subjects who terminated early during the application period were asked to complete safety assessments (if the subjects agree) prior to study exit. Subjects who were terminated early from the study were not replaced.

Arms: arm 1: OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray, 0.6 mg/mL arm 2: OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray, 1.2 mg/mL arm 3: vehicle control
Interventions: intervention 1: OC-01 0.1% 0.6 mg/ml intervention 2: OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray: 0.2 % (1.2 mg/ml) intervention 3: placebo comparator
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray: 0.1 % (0.6 mg/ml) intervention 2: OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray: 0.2 % (1.2 mg/ml) intervention 3: vehicle control

Analysis Populations: 
ï Intent-to-Treat Population – The intent-to-treat (ITT) population includes 
all randomized subjects. Subjects in the ITT population will be analyzed 
as randomized. 
ï Per Protocol Population – The per protocol (PP) population includes subjects in 
the ITT population who do not have significant protocol deviations and who 
complete the study. Protocol deviations will be assessed prior to database lock 
and unmasking. Subjects in the PP population will be analyzed as treated.  
ï Safety Population – The safety population includes all subjects who have 
received at least one dose of the investigational product. Subjects in the Safety 
population will be analyzed as treated. 
Sample Size: 
The sample size for this study is not based on statistical power considerations. It is expected 
that approximately 40 subjects will be enrolled in each arm, for a total of approximately 120 
randomized subjects.  
 
Safety Variables:  
AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) 
dictionary. Frequencies and percentages of subjects with treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs), 
serious TEAEs, and TEAEs causing premature discontinuation will be provided by treatment 
group. An AE is treatment emergent if it occurs or worsens after the first dose of study 
treatment. Furthermore, frequencies will be given of subjects with TEAEs by system organ 
class, by system organ class and preferred term, by system organ class, preferred term and 
maximal severity, by system organ class, preferred term and strongest relationship, and by 
system organ class, preferred term, maximal severity, and strongest relationship. Separate 
analyses will be performed for ocular specific and all AEs (including systemic).  
Other safety endpoints including visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy and intranasal 
examination will be summarized by treatment group and visit using descriptive statistics. 
Changes or shifts from baseline will also be summarized where appropriate. For assessments 
performed by eye, study eye and fellow eye will be summarized separately. In addition, shifts 
from baseline to worst on-treatment value for ocular safety assessments will be summarized.  
 
Efficacy Analyses: 
Schirmer’s Test will be summarized by visit, time point (where appropriate) and treatment 
with descriptive statistics (n, mean, median, standard deviation, minimum and maximum). 
An analysis of covariance (
 model will be used to compare results from 
Schirmer’s Test concurrent with treatment between each dose of OC-01 Nasal Spray and 
placebo treatment groups. The 
 model will include baseline Schirmer’s Test 
(captured at Screening), treatment and study site as covariates. Least Squares Means (LS 
 Means) for each treatment, the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and the  
estimated treatment differences between each dose of OC-01 Nasal Spray and placebo will be 
calculated from this 
 model. In addition, the study site by treatment interaction will be 
explored in a separate model to evaluate how the treatment effect may differ across study sites.

The analyses will be performed on the ITT population on observed data. Two-sample t-tests and 
non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum tests will be used to compare treatments as unadjusted 
sensitivity analyses. Sensitivity analyses will also be performed on the ITT population with 
multiple imputation (MI) to impute missing data, as well as the PP population with observed 
data only.  
 
Summary of Known and Potential Risks and Benefits to Human Subjects 
There are no known risks with the instillation of OC-01 Nasal Spray.

Overview  
Participants as defined by the criteria in Section 7.3 and Section 7.4 will be considered for entry 
into this study.  
10.1.2. 
Informed Consent  
Prior to a participant’s participation in the trial (i.e., prior to study-related procedures), the study 
will be discussed with each potential participant and participants wishing to participate must be 
administered and provide written informed consent using an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or 
Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)-approved informed consent form (ICF). The ICF must be 
the most recent version that has received approval by a properly constituted IRB/IEC.  
10.1.3. 
Washout Intervals  
Prohibited medications, treatments, and activities are outlined in the Exclusion Criteria 
(Section 7.4).  
10.1.4. 
Procedures for Final Study Entry 
Subjects must meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria.  
10.1.5. 
Methods for Assignment to Treatment Groups 
Each subject who enters the screening period for the study (defined as the point at which the 
subject signs the informed consent form (ICF) receives a unique subject identification number 
before any study-related activities/procedures are performed.  This number will be used to 
identify the subject throughout the clinical study and must be used on all study documentation 
related to that subject.   
The subject identification number must remain constant throughout the entire clinical study.  
This number will not necessarily be the same as the randomization number. 
Subjects who meet the eligibility requirements will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment 
groups. 
10.2. 
Concurrent Therapies  
The use of any concurrent medication, prescription or over-the-counter, is to be recorded on the 
subject’s source document and corresponding eCRF along with the reason the medication was 
taken.  
Concurrent enrollment in another investigational drug or device study is not permitted.

x Probable: When there are good reasons and sufficient documentation to assume a 
causal relationship in the sense of plausible, conceivable, likely but not necessarily 
highly probable 
x Possible: When there is sufficient information to accept the possibility of a causal 
relationship in the sense of not impossible and not unlikely, although the connection 
is uncertain or doubtful, for example; due to missing data or insufficient evidence. 
x None: When there is sufficient information to accept a lack of a causal relationship, in 
the sense of impossible and improbable. 
x Unclassified: When the causal relationship is not assessable for whatever reason due 
to insufficient evidence, conflicting data or poor documentation. 
11.1.3. 
Expectedness  
The expectedness of an AE should be determined based upon existing safety information about 
the study drug using these explanations: 
x Unexpected: An AE that is not listed in the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) or is not 
listed at the specificity or severity that has been observed. 
x Expected: An AE that is listed in the IB at the specificity and severity that has been 
observed. 
x Not Applicable: Any AE that is unrelated to the study drug. 
AEs that are mentioned in the IB as occurring with a class of drugs or as anticipated from the 
pharmacological properties of the drug but are not specifically mentioned as occurring with the 
particular drug under investigation are to be considered unexpected. 
The investigator should initially classify the expectedness of an AE, but the final classification is 
subject to the Medical Monitor’s determination. 
11.2. 
Serious Adverse Events  
An AE is considered serious (SAE) if, in the view of either the Investigator or Sponsor, it results 
in any of the following outcomes: 
x Death 
x A life-threatening AE 
Note:  An AE is considered “life-threatening” if, in the view of either the Investigator or 
Sponsor, its occurrence places the patient or subject at immediate risk of death.  It does not 
include an AE that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death. 
x Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
Note:  The term “inpatient hospitalization” refers to any inpatient admission (even if less than 24 
hours).  For chronic or long-term inpatients, inpatient admission includes transfer within the 
hospital to an acute/intensive care inpatient unit.  Inpatient hospitalization does not include:  
emergency room visits; outpatient/same-day/ambulatory procedures; observation/short stay

units; rehabilitation facilities; hospice facilities; nursing homes; or clinical research/phase 1 
units. 
Note:  The term “prolongation of existing hospitalization” refers to any extension of an inpatient 
hospitalization beyond the stay anticipated or required for the reason for the initial admission as 
determined by the investigator or treating physician. 
x A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct 
normal life functions 
Note:  An SAE specifically related to visual threat would be interpreted as any potential 
impairment or damage to the subject’s eyes (e.g., hemorrhage, retinal detachment, central 
corneal ulcer or damage to the optic nerve). 
x A congenital anomaly/birth defect. 
Important medical events that may not result in death, are life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they 
may jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 
one of the outcomes listed in this definition. 
11.3. 
Procedures for Reporting Adverse Events  
All AEs and their outcomes must be reported to the Sponsor and the IRB/IEC as required by the 
IRB/IEC, federal, state, or local regulations and governing health authorities and recorded on the 
appropriate eCRF. 
11.3.1. 
Reporting a Suspected Unexpected Adverse Reaction  
All AEs that are ‘suspected’ and ‘unexpected’ are to be reported to the Sponsor and the IRB/IEC 
as required by the IRB/IEC, federal, state, or local regulations and governing health authorities. 
11.3.2. 
Reporting a Serious Adverse Event 
To ensure subject safety, all SAEs, regardless of relationship to the study drug, must be 
immediately reported.  All information relevant to the SAE must be recorded on the appropriate 
CRFs.  The investigator is obligated to pursue and obtain information requested by the Sponsor 
in addition to that information reported on the CRF.  All subjects experiencing a SAE must be 
followed up and the outcome reported. 
In the event of a SAE, the Investigator must notify the Sponsor immediately; obtain and maintain 
in his/her files all pertinent medical records, information, and medical judgments from 
colleagues who assisted in the treatment and follow-up of the subject; provide Sponsor with a 
complete case history, which includes a statement as to whether the event was or was not 
suspected to be related to the use of the study drug; and inform the IRB/IEC of the SAE within 
their guidelines for reporting SAEs.

APPENDIX 2: EXAMINATION PROCEDURES, TESTS, EQUIPMENT, 
AND TECHNIQUES  
The following examination procedures, tests, equipment and techniques are listed in this 
Appendix:  
Visual Acuity Procedures  
LogMAR visual acuity must be assessed using an ETDRS chart. The procedure used will be 
consistent with the recommendations provided for using the ETDRS eye chart. Visual acuity 
should be evaluated at the beginning of each visit in the study (i.e., prior to slit lamp 
examination). Participants should use the most recent correction to attain their corrected distance 
visual acuity (CDVA); if they forget their spectacles, this prescription can be placed in a trial 
frame. 
Equipment 
The visual acuity chart to be used is the ETDRS chart. If smaller reproduction (18" by 18", e.g., 
from Prevent Blindness) wall charts are used, the participant viewing distance should be exactly 
10 feet (or as specified by the manufacturer). In ALL cases, for purposes of standardizing the 
testing conditions during the study, all sites must use only ETDRS Series 2000 Chart 1 & 2, and 
the right eye should be tested first. For reflectance (wall) charts, the chart should be placed 
frontally and be well illuminated. 
Measurement Technique 
The chart should be at a comfortable viewing angle. The right eye should be tested first. The 
participant should attempt to read each letter, line-by-line, left to right, beginning with line 1 at 
the top of the chart. The participant should be told that the chart has letters only, no numbers. If 
the participant reads a number, s/he should be reminded that the chart contains no numbers, and 
the examiner should then request a letter in lieu of the number. The participant should be asked 
to read slowly, so as to achieve the best identification of each letter. S/he is not to proceed to the 
next letter until s/he has given a definite response. 
If the participant changes a response (e.g., 'that was a "C" not an "O"') before s/he has read aloud 
the next letter, then the change must be accepted. If the participant changes a response having 
read the next letter, then the change is not accepted. The examiner should never point to the chart 
or to specific letters on the chart during the test. 
A maximum effort should be made to identify each letter on the chart. When the participant says 
s/he cannot read a letter, s/he should be encouraged to guess. If the participant identifies a letter 
as one of two letters, s/he should be asked to choose one letter and, if necessary, to guess. When 
it becomes evident that no further meaningful readings can be made, despite encouragement to 
read or guess, the examiner should stop the test for that eye. However, all letters on the last line 
should be attempted as letter difficulties vary and the last may be the only one read correctly. 
The number of letters missed or read incorrectly should be noted.

LogMAR Visual Acuity Calculations 
The last line in which a letter is read correctly will be taken as the base logMAR reading. To this 
value will be added the number "N x 0.02" where 'N' represents the total number of letters 
missed up to and including the last line read. This total sum represents the logMAR visual acuity 
for that eye. 
Example: Participant correctly reads 4 of 5 letters on the 0.2 line, and 2 of 5 letters on the 0.1 
line. 
Base logMAR 
= 0.1 
N (total number of letters incorrect on line 0.2 as well as 0.1) 
= 4 
N x T (T=0.02) 
= 0.08 
Base logMAR + (N x T) 
= 0.1 + 0.08 
logMAR visual acuity 
= 0.18 
Repeat the procedure for the left eye. 
In order to provide standardized and well-controlled assessments of visual acuity during the 
study, all visual acuity assessments at a single site must be consistently done using the same 
lighting conditions and same correction if possible during the entire study. If the same correction 
cannot be used (i.e., a participant broke his/her glasses), the reason for the change in correction 
should be documented. 
Note: A clinically significant visual acuity decrease (defined as an increase of 0.22 or greater in 
logMAR score) from the Screening Visit (Visit 1) should be evaluated by the Investigator as a 
potential AE. 
Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy  
Slit lamp biomicroscopy will be performed during the study. Observations will be graded as 
Normal or Abnormal. Abnormal findings, which are clinically significant, will be described.  
Corneal Fluorescein Staining  
The examiner should instill 5 PL of 2% preservative-free sodium fluorescein solution into the 
inferior conjunctival cul-de-sac of each eye. Alternatively, corneal staining can be assessed using 
1.0 mg sodium fluorescein strips. After moistening the tip of the strip with sterile buffered saline, 
the excess is shaken into a waste bin with a sharp flick. The lower lid is then pulled down and the 
flat end of the tip should be gently applied to the inferior tarsal conjunctiva with the intent of not 
inducing reflex tearing and instilling a very small volume of dye.  
The participant will be instructed to blink naturally several times without forced closure of the 
eyelid to distribute the fluorescein. In order to achieve maximum fluorescence, the examiner 
should wait at least two minutes after instillation before evaluating corneal fluorescein staining.

1. Topical anesthetic drops such as 0.5% proparacaine hydrochloride or equivalent should 
be instilled in both eyes of the participant. 
2. The participant will be instructed to keep the eyes gently closed for one minute.   
3. After opening the eyes and allowing the eyes to recover for approximately one additional 
minute, excess moisture in the inferior fornix is gently removed with a spear. 
4. Schirmer’s strips (35 mm x 5 mm size filter paper strip) will be placed in each eye at the 
junction of the middle and lateral thirds of the lower eye lid.  
5. Under ambient light, the participant will be instructed to look forward and to blink 
normally during the course of the test. The test should be performed in a room with no 
direct air on the participant’s face. 
6. The Schirmer’s strips should remain in place until five minutes have elapsed or both 
strips have reached maximum score. 
7. After five minutes, strips will be removed from both eyes and the amount of wetting will 
be recorded. The strips should be taped to the CRF.   
Schirmer’s test using cotton swab nasal stimulation   
At the Screening Visit, the Schirmer’s test should be performed using cotton swab nasal 
stimulation. New anesthetic drops should be instilled following the same procedure specified in 
steps #1 to 3 above. 
1. With new strips in place, the examiner should insert cotton swabs in the participant’s two 
nostrils simultaneously and gently probe both nasal middle turbinates for approximately 
30 seconds. After this, the examiner can simply hold the swabs in place, applying gentle 
pressure, and repeat probing intermittently as necessary.   
2. Alternatively, the participant can be instructed to hold the cotton swabs and gently probe 
both nasal turbinates simultaneously, resting intermittently before probing again.  The 
examiner should continuously coach the participant on how to perform this test properly.  
3. The Schirmer’s strips should remain in place until five minutes have elapsed or both 
strips have reached maximum score. 
Both Schirmer’s scores will be recorded and verified that they meet the inclusion criteria.

normal to abnormal (not clinically significant), and normal to abnormal (clinically 
significant) will be presented using counts and percentages
10.3 Corneal Fluorescein Staining
Corneal fluorescein staining will be performed, and data will be collected at Visits 1 and 5.
Corneal fluorescein staining will be assessed for both the study and fellow eye. Staining will 
be graded using the National Eye Institute (NEI)/Industry Workshop Scale. Examiners will 
score each of five areas on the cornea of each eye: 1 – Central; 2 – Superior; 3 – Temporal; 4 
– Nasal; 5 – Inferior. A standardized grading system of 0-3 will be used for each of the five 
areas. The corneal fluorescein staining score will be described by visit, treatment, study eye, 
and fellow eye with summary statistics. Specifically, scores will be presented by each of the 
five cornea areas and total scores for all corneal areas.
10.4 Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy
The slit lamp biomicroscope will be performed at Visit 1, Visit 2, Visit 3, Visit 4, Visit 5 and 
Visit 6. A slit lamp will be used for external examination and biomicroscopy. The eyelids, 
cornea, conjunctiva, anterior chamber, iris, and lens will be examined at each visit. Slit lamp 
biomicroscopy results will be summarized for each treatment group for the study and fellow 
eye by visit using discrete summary statistics. Abnormal clinically significant findings will 
be described. Shifts from baseline including normal to abnormal (not clinically significant), 
and normal to abnormal (clinically significant) will be presented using counts and 
percentages
11 Intranasal Examination
Intranasal assessments collected at the screening visit (Visit 1) and at Visit 6, and the early 
termination visit will be summarized by treatment group with counts and percentages. Shifts 
from baseline of normal to abnormal (not clinically significant) and normal to abnormal 
(clinically significant) will be presented using counts and percentages.
12 Efficacy Analysis
12.1 Primary Efficacy Endpoint 
The primary efficacy endpoint is mean change from baseline in Schirmer’s Test at Day 84 
(Visit 6).
