Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The change in proportion of subjects demonstrating improved tear film osmolarity
Improved tear film osmolarity will be defined as an osmolarity reading of less than or equal to 308 mOsm/L or an inter-eye difference osmolarity reading of less than or equal to 8 mOsm/L.
Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4
Secondary Outcomes (4)
The proportion of subjects demonstrating normal Matrix Metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9).
Week 4
The proportion of subjects demonstrating normal Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT).
Week 4
The proportion of subjects demonstrating normal corneal fluorescein staining.
Week 4
The proportion of subjects demonstrating improvement in their symptoms as measured by the modified SANDE Questionnaire.
Week 4
Study Arms (1)
Lifitegrast 5% Ophthalmic Solution
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will received lifitegrast 5% ophthalmic solution twice a day in each eye for approximately 4 weeks.
Interventions
Participants will received lifitegrast 5% ophthalmic solution twice a day in each eye for approximately 4 weeks.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Signs or symptoms of Dry Eye Disease
- years or older
- Abnormal MMP9 (positive as read by 2 blinded investigators with both in agreement) and/or Abnormal tear osmolarity (greater than or equal to 308 or an inter-eye difference \>=8 mOsm/mL)
You may not qualify if:
- Active eye infection. Patients with blepharitis may be enrolled.
- Any eye drop that was instilled within 2 hours of the Baseline eye exam
- Current contact lens wearer. Subjects who have not worn contact lenses 30 days prior to baseline and have no intention to wear CLs during the study duration may enroll.
- History of ocular herpes simplex
- Active episcleritis, scleritis, iritis or uveitis
- Active keratitis secondary to any etiology other than dry eyes
- History of refractive surgery (LASIK or PRK) or penetrating corneal transplant (PK)
- Uses eye drops (ex. glaucoma or allergy drops) for indications other than dry eyes
- Active allergic conjunctivitis
- Current use of punctal plugs or anticipation of use during the study
- Use of topical ophthalmic steroids within 14 days of the Baseline Visit or anticipated use during the study
- Use of lifitegrast 5% or Restasis within 30 Days of the Baseline Visit.
- Allergy to lifitegrast 5%
