VEVYE (cyclosporine 0.1%) for short-term symptom and sign improvement in dry eye at a neuro-ophthalmology clinic

Official title: Real-World Assessment of VEVYE® for Short-Term Symptom and Sign Improvement of Dry Eye Disease in a Neuro-Ophthalmology Clinic: A 6-Month Prospective Observational Study

Run by Neuro-Ophthalmology of Texas · NCT07566975 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will test whether VEVYE (cyclosporine 0.1% eye drops) improves symptoms and clinical signs in adults with dry eye disease seen in a neuro-ophthalmology clinic, including some people with neurotrophic keratitis.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18 years) with a clinical diagnosis of dry eye disease, OSDI ≥23, at least one objective sign, and who are indicated for VEVYE and able to attend visits and complete questionnaires are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active corneal ulcers, severe ocular surface infection or unrelated severe surface disease, recent ocular surgery, severe corneal scarring or zero corneal sensitivity, or recent use of other cyclosporine/lifitegrast products are unlikely to benefit in this short-term observational context.

What this trial studies

This is a 6-month prospective observational follow-up of adults seen in a neuro-ophthalmology clinic who are prescribed VEVYE as part of routine care for clinically diagnosed dry eye (OSDI ≥23 and at least one objective sign). Patients receive topical cyclosporine 0.1% per their treating clinician and complete standardized symptom questionnaires and clinic assessments at baseline and scheduled follow-ups. The non-randomized design captures real-world treatment patterns and includes a subgroup with neurotrophic keratitis. Outcomes focus on short-term changes in patient-reported symptoms and objective ocular surface signs.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could offer real-world evidence that VEVYE reduces symptoms and improves ocular surface signs in patients with dry eye, including some with neurotrophic corneal disease.

How similar studies have gone: Other topical cyclosporine formulations have shown benefit for dry eye symptoms and signs in randomized trials, but evidence specifically for VEVYE 0.1% and for patients with neurotrophic keratitis is limited.
