NCT ID NCT06898853

First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at how a common anti-inflammatory eye drop (cyclosporine 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 count them, and also measure inflammatory markers in tears. The goal is to understand exactly how the drug works, which could lead to better treatments for the 60 adults taking part.
