The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray as compared to placebo nasal spray for mean change from baseline in corneal fluorescein staining in subjects with Stage 1 (corneal epithelial hyperplasia/punctate keratopathy) neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) in one or both eyes.
Protocol OPP-102 is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, controlled, double- masked study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray in subjects with NK. Approximately 100 subjects at least 18 years of age with a physicians' diagnosis of Stage 1 NK as defined by the Mackie Criteria and meeting all other study eligibility criteria will be randomized 1:1 and will receive OC-01 (varenicline)/ nasal spray or placebo nasal spray for 8 weeks three times daily (TID) as follows: * OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray, 1.2 mg/mL * Placebo (vehicle control) nasal spray All doses will be delivered as a 50 microliter (µL) nasal spray.

Mean Change From Baseline in Corneal Fluorescein Staining
Corneal Fluorescein Staining was measured utilizing the Modified Oxford Grading scale. Scores range from a minimum of 0 (no staining) to a maximum of 5. A higher score indicates a worse outcome. The study eye is defined as the eye with the worst staining grade (if both eyes are eligible).
Time frame: 8 weeks
Mean Change From Baseline in Visual Acuity at Week 8
Best Corrected Visual Acuity was assessed based on the number of letters read correctly on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart. ETDRS letters score range from 0 to 100 letters at each assessment. A higher score in ETDRS letters indicates a better outcome. A positive change from Baseline in ETDRS letter score indicates an improvement in visual acuity.
Time frame: 8 weeks
