First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests NOV05, a water-free tacrolimus eye drop, in 20 adults with active non-infectious anterior uveitis. Participants receive either a high or low dose for 6 weeks. The goal is to see if it safely controls inflammation and reduces the need for steroid eye drops.
