Study Summary

SURF-100 is being studied for the treatment of dry eye disease. SURF-100 is an investigational drug (which means the study drug is currently being tested) in the form of a sterile eye drop. The purpose of this research study is to see how well SURF-100 works to treat dry eye and what potential side effects there are, and to compare it with Vehicle (placebo), 0.1% mycophenolic acid (MPA) in Vehicle, 0.3% MPA in Vehicle, 0.01% betamethasone phosphate (BSP) in Vehicle, Restasis and Xiidra. This study will involve about 280-350 study participants age 18 and older at about 40 different research sites in the United States.

Primary Outcome

The UNC DEMS scale is a participant-specific 10-point scale with a minimum score of 1 (\[1-2\] My symptoms are not a problem. My dry eye does not affect my daily life at all) and a maximum score of 10 (\[9-10\] my symptoms are severe and I need immediate medical care. My dry eye greatly affects my daily life). Participants with a 10% or higher reduction in UNC DEMS score from baseline were defined as responders, and response rates were summarized by treatment group.
