Dry eye sufferers may get relief by switching drops
NCT ID NCT07267481
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether switching from the dry eye drop Xiidra to a new drop called TRYPTYR (acoltremon 0.003%) can improve symptoms and tear production. About 100 adults with chronic dry eye who are already using Xiidra will take part. Researchers will measure tear production and symptom scores over 28 days to see if the switch helps.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

If Shirmer only qualifies for one eye, that will be the study eye. If Shirmer qualifies for both eyes, the right eye will be the study eye. * Have corrected distance visual acuity of 20/40 or better. * Willing to discontinue contact lens wear 24 hours prior to screening visit and throughout the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Have a systemic health condition that is known to alter tear film physiology (e.g., primary and secondary Sjögren's syndrome). * Have a history of ocular surgery within the past 12 months. * Have a history of severe ocular trauma, active ocular infection or inflammation that is not dry eye related. * Punctal plugs in place for \< 3 months and/or Lacrifill in place for \> 5 months. * Have ever used Accutane * Currently using ocular medications, including topical anti-inflammatory drops, (other than Xiidra) 1 month prior to enrollment * Any artificial tear use at enrollment must remain consistent throughout the study. * Are pregnant or breast feeding. * Have had a physical meibomian gland treatment withing 1 month of enrollment. * Initiated, discontinued or changed dose of a systemic medication known to cause ocular drying (e.g., antihistamines or tricyclic antidepressants) within 14 days of the screening visit. * Have a condition or be in a situation, which in the investigator's opinion, may put the participant at significant risk, may confound the results, or may significantly interfere with their study participation.
