Brief Summary

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

To evaluate the impact of Acoltremon 0.003% on subjective dry eye symptoms using validated patient-reported outcome measures: Eye Dryness Score Visual Analog Scale (EDS-VAS). The primary aim is to characterize the rapidity of symptomatic relief in moderate to severe dry eye disease (DED), with attention to short-term therapy.

Acoltremon

Patients will administer Acoltremon 0.003% as per labeled directions. Assessments with the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) will occur at Baseline, treatment at 14 days, and treatment at 28 days. Secondary endpoints include change from baseline rating scale 1-5 in severity of various symptoms of dry eye: Blurriness, eye irritation/Discomfort, Burning/Stinging, Photophobia/Pain, Sandy/gritty/Foreign Body Sensation, Fatigue/Tired Eyes).

Intervention Type DRUG
