Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 and older with a diagnosis of dry eye disease and documented ocular surface disease markers who meet the specified baseline criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without significant improvement in OSDI or NEI staining scores or who do not meet the eligibility criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This phase 4 interventional trial evaluates the effectiveness of Acoltremon ophthalmic solution 0.003% (TRYPTYR) for Dry Eye Disease. The primary outcome is change in the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) from baseline to week 2, with co-primary outcomes including changes in corneal and conjunctival NEI staining scores at about one month. Eligible participants are adults with confirmed DED and measurable tear film and ocular surface abnormalities. Participants will receive TRYPTYR and will be assessed at multiple visits to monitor safety and efficacy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, TRYPTYR could reduce symptoms and improve ocular surface health for people with dry eye disease.
How similar studies have gone: Other similar approaches have shown mixed results; this study aims to provide more definitive evidence for TRYPTYR in DED.
