Positive results for Qlaris Bio’s eye drug QLS-111

6 February 2025

US clinical-stage biotech Qlaris Bio has announced positive top-line results from two U.S. Phase II clinical trials investigating QLS-111 in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT).

The Phase II trials (Osprey and Apteryx) successfully met all primary and secondary endpoints.

Qlaris noted that the Osprey study is a masked, randomized trial assessing the safety, tolerability, and intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering activity of QLS‑111 across a range of doses compared to vehicle in 62 adult patients with POAG or OHT. The study demonstrated that the 0.015% concentration of QLS-111 dosed QPM (once daily in the evening) drove the greatest decrease in IOP, highlighted by mean reductions of 3.7 mmHg from mean diurnal baseline IOP of 23.0 mmHg.
