Investigator Initiated Trial Using Dry Eye Surveys to Evaluate and Better Understand FDA Approved Acoltremon Treatment for Dry Eye Disease in Real World Treatment Settings (DESERT) (NCT07281950)

Dry Eye Surveys to Evaluate Acoltremon in Real World Treatment (DESERT)

๐ŸŸก Not Yet Recruiting Phase4 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Center for Sight Las Vegas

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Dry eye disease (DED) is a common, chronic and multifactorial disease of the ocular surface presenting with signs and symptoms of ocular discomfort, visual disturbance and fluctuation, tear film instability, ocular surface inflammation and damage. It significantly affects patients' quality of life and is one of the most frequent reasons for visits to eye care providers. Many patients remain symptomatic in real-world settings despite current pharmacologic therapeutic options available. As symptoms often lag behind ocular signs, a 3 month study with multiple time points has been designed to assess short term and mid-term symptomatic changes. This study will use Dry Eye Surveys to evaluate Acoltremon in Real World Settings to help understand its real world effectiveness and potential to improve symptoms in dry eye patients.
