HOW TO USE THIS SNAPSHOT
The information provided in Snapshots highlights who participated in the key clinical trials that supported the original FDA approval of this drug, and whether there were differences among sex, race, age, and ethnic groups. The “MORE INFO” bar shows more detailed, technical content for each section. The Snapshot is intended as one tool for consumers to use when discussing the risks and benefits of the drugs.

LIMITATIONS OF THIS SNAPSHOT
Do not rely on Snapshots to make decisions regarding medical care. Always speak to your healthcare provider about the benefits and risks of a drug.

Some of the information in this Snapshot is for presentation purposes and does not represent the approved conditions of use of this drug. Refer to the VIZZ Prescribing Information for all the approved conditions of use of this drug (e.g., indication(s), population(s), dosing regimen(s), safety information).

Snapshots are limited to the information available at the time of the original approval of the drug and do not provide information on who participated in clinical trials that supported later approvals for additional uses of the drug (if applicable).

VIZZ (aceclidine ophthalmic solution)
viz
LENZ Therapeutics, Inc.
Approval date: July 31, 2025


DRUG TRIALS SNAPSHOT SUMMARY:

What is the drug for?

VIZZ is for the treatment of presbyopia in adults.

Presbyopia is a common age-related condition that affects the eyes’ ability to focus on near objects. As people age, the lens of the eye becomes less flexible, making it difficult to accommodate for close vision.

How is this drug used?

VIZZ is a topical ophthalmic solution. Patients are to instill one drop in each eye, wait two minutes and instill a second drop in each eye once daily.

Who participated in the clinical trials?

The FDA approved VIZZ based on evidence from three clinical trials. Two clinical trials (CLARITY 1 and CLARITY-2) were the main support for efficacy and were six weeks in duration and included 466 patients with presbyopia. The trials were conducted at 42 sites in the United States. One clinical trial (CLARITY-3) was the main support for safety and was 26 weeks in duration and included 361 patients with presbyopia. This trial was conducted at 40 sites in the United States.

How were the trials designed?

Two clinical trials (CLARITY-1 and CLARITY-2) demonstrated efficacy by showing superiority of VIZZ over brimonidine (CLARITY-1) or vehicle (CLARITY-2) for the primary efficacy endpoint (improvement of three lines [15 letters] or greater at 40 cm and no loss ≥5 letters at 4 m in monocular Best Corrected Distant Visual Acuity [BCDVA] at Visit 2 [Day 1] three hours postdose). The primary efficacy endpoint results were consistent across different analysis populations using different approaches for the intercurrent events. Additionally, secondary endpoint analyses were supportive of the primary efficacy results.

Were there any differences in how well the drug worked in clinical trials among sex, race, and age?

  • Sex: VIZZ worked similar in males and females.
  • Race: The number of patients of races other than White was small; therefore, differences in how VIZZ worked among races could not be determined.
  • Age: VIZZ worked similar in patients younger and older than 65 years of age.

Were there any differences in how well the drug worked in clinical trials among sex, race, and age groups?

Treatment-emergent adverse events defined as any AE that started or worsened in severity on or after the first dose date. 
Duration is 26 weeks. 
Coded as MedDRA preferred terms. 
Risk difference (with 95% confidence interval) is shown between total treatment and comparator. 
Asterisk (*) indicates rows where the 95% confidence interval excludes zero. 
Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; CI, confidence interval; LNZ100, aceclidine hydrochloride 1.75% ophthalmic solution; LNZ101, aceclidine hydrochloride 1.75% and brimonidine tartrate 0.08% ophthalmic solution; MedDRA, Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities; N, number of patients in treatment arm; n, number of patients with adverse event

Were there any differences in side effects among sex, race, and age?

  • Sex: The occurrence of side effects was similar in males and females.
  • Race: The number of patients of races other than White was small; therefore, differences in the side effects of VIZZ among races could not be determined.
  • Age: The occurrence of side effects was similar in patients below and above 65 years of age.

Were there any differences in side effects of the clinical trials among sex, race, and age groups?

GLOSSARY

CLINICAL TRIAL: Voluntary research studies conducted in people and designed to answer specific questions about the safety or effectiveness of drugs, vaccines, other therapies, or new ways of using existing treatments.
COMPARATOR: A previously available treatment or placebo used in clinical trials that is compared to the actual drug being tested.
EFFICACY: How well the drug achieves the desired response when it is taken as described in a controlled clinical setting, such as during a clinical trial.
PLACEBO: An inactive substance or “sugar pill” that looks the same as, and is given the same way as, an active drug or treatment being tested. The effects of the active drug or treatment are compared to the effects of the placebo.
SUBGROUP: A subset of the population studied in a clinical trial. Demographic subsets include sex, race, and age groups.
