Omeros (OMER) Initiates Patient Enrollment for Second Phase 3 Trial of OMS302

Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER) today announced that patient enrollment has begun in the Company's second Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating OMS302 in intraocular lens replacement (ILR) surgery. OMS302, one of Omeros' proprietary PharmacoSurgery™ products, is added to standard irrigation solution used during ILR procedures to maintain intraoperative mydriasis (pupil dilation) and reduce postoperative pain. In the first Phase 3 clinical trial of OMS302, the drug product demonstrated statistically significant superiority over placebo in maintenance of intraoperative mydriasis (p<0.00001) and reduction of postoperative pain (p<0.00001).

Like the initial Phase 3 clinical trial, this second Phase 3 trial will enroll approximately 400 patients undergoing cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and multicenter, this trial will evaluate the same efficacy and safety measures as the earlier successful Phase 2b and Phase 3 clinical trials. Data are expected in the second half of 2012.
