Among the 45 studies testing cyclosporine in Dry Eye Syndromes, from their registry updates:
Of the 140 million contact lens (CL) wearers worldwide, most wear soft contact lenses. Despite major improvements in contact lens care, nearly 20% of wearers stop using lenses, with contact lens discomfort (CLD) being the main reason. This study aims to determine whether VEVYE, a water-free 0.1% cyclosporine ophthalmic solution indicated for the treatment of DED, can improve contact lens comfort in people with dry eye disease.
This is a 12-week, three-visit study aims to evaluate whether VEVYE, a water-free 0.1% cyclosporine ophthalmic solution indicated for the treatment of dry eye disease (DED), can alleviate DED symptoms and improve contact lens (CL) comfort. The open-label, prospective clinical trial will recruit 50 individuals who meet the study's eligibility criteria.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Started Aug 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2027, 6 months after the start.
Of 199 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Dry Eye Syndromes, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 25. This study's planned 6 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 312 studies reached it within 10 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 18.
