- Brief Summary
Among 193 patients randomized, 176 patients were included for efficacy evaluation excluding 17 patients(consent withdrawal 7, follow-up loss 5, contradiced medication 4, pregnance 1). 176 patients were allocated randomly to receive 1 of the 4 treatments: 43 patients entered the 0.1% SH group, 41 patients entered the 0.15% SH group, 47 patients entered the 0.3% SH group, and 45 patients entered the 0.05% CS group. Of the total 176 participants, 147 were female (83.52%), and the mean age +-standard deviation (SD) was 45.06 +- 14.83 years. In the primary analysis, the mean change from baseline in FCS scores verified noninferiority of 0.1% and 0.15%SH to 0.05%CS and also indicated significant improvement of all groups (P< 0.05). Values for TBUT, LGCS scores, and OSDI scores showed significant improvements in all groups (P < 0.05), although no significant intergroup differencewas shown.However, Schirmer test scores in the 0.15%SHgroup showed a significant tendency for better improvement at week 12 compared with the other groups (P < 0.05). No serious adverse events were observed. In conclusion, this is the first study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 0.1% SH, 0.15% SH, and 0.3% SH compared with 0.05% CS in patients with dry eye. Our study showed that a 12-week, 4–6 times daily treatment with 0.1% SH, 0.15% SH, and 0.3% SH was as effective as 0.05% CS in improving the objective signs and subjective symptoms of dry eye. These results suggest that it may lead to improved treatment of corneal and conjunctival epithelial damage and improvement in symptoms in patients with dry eye. Such efficacy, in addition to the well-tolerated profile of 0.1% SH, 0.15% SH, and 0.3% SH, makes them potentially useful treatment options for dry eye in clinical practice.
