Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 and older with dry eye who can give informed consent, follow study instructions, attend visits, and stop disallowed medications during the washout and study period are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who cannot discontinue disallowed medications, who fail to meet inclusion criteria, or who have excluded conditions are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This phase 2 interventional trial compares VSJ-110 to a placebo over an eight-week treatment period in adults with dry eye. Participants receive either VSJ-110 or a matching placebo and attend scheduled visits for symptom assessments and safety monitoring. Primary data collected will include changes in dry eye signs and symptoms and adverse event reporting. The trial is being run at multiple Vanda investigational sites in the United States.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If effective and safe, VSJ-110 could provide a new treatment option that reduces symptoms of dry eye.
How similar studies have gone: Other placebo-controlled phase 2 trials of new topical therapies for dry eye have shown mixed results, and while several approved treatments exist, VSJ-110 appears to be a novel compound.
