Harrow (NASDAQ:HROW), a leading provider of ophthalmic disease management solutions in North America, today announced positive results from a prospective, randomized, contralateral-eye study evaluating IHEEZO® (chloroprocaine hydrochloride ophthalmic gel) 3%, an ophthalmic gel indicated for ocular surface anesthesia, in patients undergoing same-day bilateral intravitreal injections. The single-center, investigator-initiated study demonstrated statistically significant differences favoring IHEEZO at every measured time point.

Patients reported approximately 58% less discomfort overall in the IHEEZO-treated eye than in the fellow eye treated with proparacaine ophthalmic solution 0.5%, a statistically significant difference at all four post-injection assessments (all p≤0.048). The largest absolute treatment differences were observed immediately after injection, when discomfort is highest: 1.44 versus 3.06 at two minutes and 1.26 versus 2.82 at one hour, while lower discomfort scores with IHEEZO remained evident through the 24-hour assessment.
