NCT ID NCT07007702
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new preservative-free eye drop (Thealoz Total) in 30 adults with chronic dry eye and eye redness. Participants used the drops daily for 12 weeks. Researchers measured changes in redness and how satisfied patients felt. The goal was to see if the drops improve comfort and reduce inflammation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- trehalose, sodium hyaluronate, and N-Acetyl Aspartyl Glutamic Acid (NAAGA) in preservative-free eye drops
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new option for people with chronic dry eye to reduce redness and feel more comfortable.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with only 30 people and no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. The drops are meant to ease symptoms, not cure dry eye.
