About this study
Official title: A Longitudinal, Open-label, Multi-center Study to Explore the Relationship Between Signs, Symptoms, Molecular and Imaging Biomarkers in Participants With Dry Eye Disease Following Anti-inflammatory Treatment
This study aims to evaluate the performance of biomarkers and their responsiveness to standard-of-care treatments (Vevye® or Xiidra®), in participants with dry eye disease (DED) compared to healthy volunteers (control participants).
Read the detailed description
This study aims to characterize longitudinal changes in signs, symptoms, molecular, and imaging markers of the ocular surface to investigate pathological mechanisms and biomarkers (BMs) of DED after treatment with either of two commercially approved therapeutics (Vevye® [cyclosporine ophthalmic solution], Xiidra® [liftegrast ophthalmic solution]).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Vevye®Drug
Also called Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Solution
Participants will receive Vevye® (0.1% cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) as per the schedule described in the treatment arm.
Xiidra®Drug
Also called Lifitegrast Ophthalmic Solution
Participants will receive Xiidra® (5% lifitegrast ophthalmic solution) as per the schedule described in the treatment arm.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Vevye® | Experimental | Participants with evaporative dry eye (EDE), aqueous deficient dry eye (ADDE) and mixed dry eye will receive Vevye®, 1 milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL) as one drop into the affected eye(s), twice daily (BID) via topical ocular instillation for 12 weeks. Receives: Drug: Vevye® |
| Xiidra® | Experimental | Participants with EDE, ADDE, and mixed dry eye will receive Xiidra®, 50 mg/mL as one drop into the affected eye(s), BID via topical ocular instillation for 12 weeks. Receives: Drug: Xiidra® |
| Healthy Cohort | No intervention | Healthy volunteers will be enrolled as a control group and will not receive any treatment. |
