PainReform announced safety data supporting the continued development of OcuRing-K drop-less, sustained-release ocular drug delivery platform for use in cataract surgery. The development program included a series of preclinical rabbit studies evaluating ocular tolerability, biocompatibility, and tissue response, as well as a Phase I clinical study in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Collectively, these studies demonstrated a favorable safety profile for the platform, supporting its advancement toward later-stage development. In the Phase I clinical study, no treatment-emergent adverse events related to the study drug were observed. All reported adverse events were as expected in the context of cataract surgery, and consistent with subjects' underlying ocular histories. No serious adverse events were reported, and no safety issues related to the drug delivery platform were identified. The investigational product and intraocular lens devices remained properly positioned in all treated eyes throughout the study.
