New eye drop cocktail aims to quench dry eye Sufferers' tears

NCT ID NCT07128628

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests a new eye drop that combines two active ingredients—lifitegrast and perfluorohexyloctane—for people with dry eye disease. About 423 adults will use the drops twice daily for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in eye surface staining and symptom scores to see if the combo works better than either ingredient alone or a placebo.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Lifitegrast and perfluorohexyloctane eye drops

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a more effective twice-daily eye drop for dry eye symptoms like stinging and blurred vision.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 4 weeks of treatment, so long-term benefits are unknown. The new combo may not work better than existing drops.
