简要总结
The proposed study is a prospective, open-label, unicentric, phase IV clinical trial.
This study is design to find new efficacy biomarkers for IKERVIS® (1mg/mL ciclosporin) eye drops after 1 and 3 month after initiation of therapy. Additionally, this study intends to investigate whether IKERVIS® will help patients to better overcome situations of desiccating stress by exposing them to an adverse controlled environment (ACE) and analyzing both clinical and molecular parameters.
