NCT ID NCT07118241

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a protein-based eye drop (rhPRG4) can safely relieve dry eye symptoms in people with Sjögren's syndrome. About 80 adults will receive either the active drops or a placebo for 28 days. The main goal is to see if the drops can clear corneal staining, a sign of eye surface damage.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

recombinant human proteoglycan 4 (rhPRG4) eye drops

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a new treatment option for dry eye in people with Sjögren's syndrome, potentially improving comfort and eye health.

What could go wrong

This is a small Phase 2 trial with only 80 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment may not work better than a placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
