About this study
Official title: Effects of a Prostaglandin Analog-Based Eyelash Serum on Ocular Surface Integrity and Tear Film Stability: A Prospective Interventional Study
This prospective interventional study investigates the effects of a prostaglandin analog-based eyelash serum on ocular surface integrity, tear film stability, and eyelash growth over six weeks. Nineteen healthy female participants applied the serum daily, with clinical assessments performed at baseline and post-treatment. The study adhered to ethical guidelines, and parameters such as tear film stability, tear volume, ocular hyperemia, and eyelash characteristics were evaluated.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Prostaglandin Analog-Based Eyelash SerumOther
Also called Eyelash Growth Serum, Prostaglandin Analog Eyelash Enhancer
This intervention consists of a prostaglandin analog-based eyelash serum applied once daily to the upper eyelid margin for six weeks. The serum contains dechloro dihydroxy difluoro ethylcloprostenolamide (DDDE), a prostaglandin analog known to promote eyelash growth. The formulation also includes panax ginseng root extract, urtica dioica extract, panthenol, niacinamide, and biotinoyl tripeptide-1, which contribute to hair follicle nourishment. The study evaluates its effects on ocular surface integrity, tear film stability, and eyelash growth.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Prostaglandin Analog-Based Eyelash Serum Group | Experimental | This study arm consists of healthy female participants who applied a prostaglandin analog-based eyelash serum once daily to the upper eyelid margin for six weeks. The study evaluated changes in ocular surface integrity, tear film stability, and eyelash growth. Clinical assessments were performed at baseline and post-treatment, including measurements of tear film parameters, ocular hyperemia, and intraocular pressure. Receives: Other: Prostaglandin Analog-Based Eyelash Serum |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Tear Film Stability (A-NIBUT) After Six Weeks of Eyelash Serum Application
Assessment of average non-invasive tear break-up time (A-NIBUT) as an indicator of tear film stability before and after six weeks of daily prostaglandin analog-based eyelash serum application. A-NIBUT is measured using the Firefly S390I slit lamp (MediWorks, Suzhou, China), with lower values indicating increased tear film instability.
Measured: Baseline and after six weeks of serum application
Secondary outcomes (3)
Change in Tear Volume (Tear Meniscus Height - TMH) After Six Weeks
Measurement of tear meniscus height (TMH) before and after six weeks of eyelash serum application using the Firefly S390I slit lamp to assess changes in aqueous tear volume. Lower TMH values indicate a reduction in tear production.
Measured: Baseline and after six weeks
Change in Ocular Hyperemia (Conjunctival and Ciliary Hyperemia) After Six Weeks
Evaluation of temporal conjunctival hyperemia (TCOH) and temporal ciliary hyperemia (TCIH) using digital image analysis. An increase in hyperemia suggests a vasodilatory response to the serum.
Measured: Baseline and after six weeks
Change in Eyelash Length and Thickness After Six Weeks
Measurement of eyelash length and thickness before and after six weeks using caliper software on the Firefly S390I slit lamp to determine the efficacy of the serum in promoting eyelash growth.
Measured: Baseline and after six weeks

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Tear Film Stability (A-NIBUT) After Six Weeks of Eyelash Serum Application (time frame: Baseline and after six weeks of serum application). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06875687, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Mar 2025.
