Phase 4 Interventional Laboratoires Thea · NCT06903741

This will try preservative-free eye drops combining trehalose, sodium hyaluronate, and NAAGA in adults with dry eye to see if symptoms and flare-ups improve over 6 months.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, non-randomized, non-comparative, single-center post-market follow-up enrolling 30 adults with dry eye disease to use the T2769 eye drops daily and complete self-questionnaires. Performance and safety will be measured at 3 and 6 months, with monitoring of patient compliance and occurrence of dry-eye flares. The study enrolls patients with at least three months of symptoms and an OSDI score of 13 or higher, including those not using artificial tears or unsatisfied with their current tears. Safety exclusions include hypersensitivity to components, pregnancy or breastfeeding, lack of adequate contraception in women of childbearing potential, and systemic conditions that could interfere with results.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults (≥18) with at least three months of dry-eye disease and an OSDI score ≥13 who are not using—or are unsatisfied with—current artificial tears are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: People with known hypersensitivity to the ingredients, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those without adequate contraception if applicable, or patients with severe ocular surface disease or incompatible systemic conditions may not receive benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the preservative-free combination could reduce dry eye symptoms and decrease the frequency of flare-ups while avoiding preservative-related irritation.

How similar studies have performed: Prior studies of trehalose and hyaluronate formulations have shown symptom improvement in dry eye, though combinations including NAAGA have been less extensively studied.
