Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the potential safety and effectiveness of rebamipide eye drops, an investigational eye drop being developed for the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There is a need for effective therapy for dry eye that treats the underlying cause of the syndrome. The goal of this study is to assess the impact of rebamipide on dry eye symptom.
