Netarsudil (AR-13324) has been evaluated across numerous clinical trials ranging from Early Phase 1 to Phase 4, primarily targeting open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, alongside secondary conditions such as normal tension glaucoma, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, and Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy. Conducted by both industry sponsors, such as Aerie Pharmaceuticals and Alcon Research, and academic institutions including the Mayo Clinic and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, these studies reflect diverse recruitment statuses ranging from actively recruiting and completed to not yet recruiting, active not recruiting, or terminated.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
| Quality Dimension | RUO (Research Use Only) | cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Applicability | Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. | Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies. |
| Regulatory Status | Non-regulated grade; exempt from drug manufacturing laws. | Legally enforced by health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, NMPA). |
| Facility Environment | Unclassified analytical or research laboratories. | Validated Cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8) with continuous monitoring. |
| Quality Control | Basic purity and activity testing. | Rigorous safety release testing (Sterility, Endotoxin, Mycoplasma). |
| Process Validation | Basic equipment calibration; no process validation required. | Full qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and complete batch records. |
| Quality Assurance | Vendor self-declared without required formal QMS. | Mandatory QA/QC unit, Change Control, CAPA, and vendor audits. |
| Regulatory Impact | High risk of IND rejection if used as a critical raw material. | Required for IND/NDA filings, supported by Drug Master Files (DMF). |
