NCT ID NCT07407101

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study involved 10 adults with severe dry eye disease who did not respond to standard treatments. Researchers measured levels of growth factors and vitamins in autologous serum eye drops before and after filtration, to see if filtering reduces their concentration. The goal is to help standardize how these drops are made in France.
