NCT ID NCT06898853

First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how a common anti-inflammatory eye drop (cyclosporin A) changes immune cells on the eye's surface in people with dry eye disease. Researchers will use a special microscope to watch these cells move and collect tear samples to measure inflammation. The goal is to better understand how the drug works, which could lead to improved treatments. The study involves 60 adults with dry eye and lasts 12 weeks.
