Dry eye drug combo safety trial pulled before it started
NCT ID NCT07111013
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to check the long-term safety of a new eye drop that combines two active ingredients (lifitegrast and perfluorohexyloctane) for people with dry eye disease. It was a follow-up for people who had already completed an earlier study. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
