Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study Designed to Evaluate Tear Production (NCT NCT06544707)

NCT ID: NCT06544707

Last Updated: 2026-02-10

Results Overview

TMH (the distance between the line of reflection along the top of the tear prism to the edge of the central lower eyelid) was measured pre-instillation and post-instillation in micrometers using optical coherence tomography (OCT), a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of the eye. A normal TMH range falls between 200 and 400 micrometers. Measurements below this range may indicate dry eye disease. A positive change value indicates an improvement. One eye (study eye, defined as the left eye) contributed data to the analysis.

0/81 • Adverse Events (AEs) were collected from time of consent until study exit, approximately 1 day.
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the administration of the study intervention in humans, whether or not considered to be related to the study intervention. AEs were obtained through solicited and spontaneous comments from subjects and through observations by the Investigator. The safety analysis set included all subjects who have received at least one dose of 0.003% AR-15512.
