Active substance

infliximab eye drops

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new, safer option for managing severe dry eye in Sjögren's syndrome by targeting inflammation directly.

What could go wrong

This is a small early-phase trial with only 38 people, so results may not apply widely. The treatment is topical but still carries risks like infection or irritation.
