NCT ID NCT07412860
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new eye drop (FBV_01) that combines an extra ingredient with hyaluronic acid for people with moderate-to-severe dry eye. About 74 adults will use the drop four times a day for 30 days. Researchers will compare it to hyaluronic acid alone to see if the combo is better at relieving symptoms and is safe.
