Eye drops for dry eye in early neurotrophic keratopathy
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new eye drop (acoltrepon) to see if it helps people with stage 1 neurotrophic keratopathy (a condition where the cornea's nerves are damaged, causing dry eyes and vision problems) and low tear production. It aims to improve signs like corneal staining and symptoms of discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stage 1 neurotrophic keratopathy (with decreased corneal sensation and staining on the eye exam).
- Your tear production is low (Schirmer test score of 10 mm or less).
- You can stop other eye drops 8 days before starting the study and artificial tears 2 hours before visits.
- You have no active eye infection, inflammation, or corneal ulcers/scars.
- You've had no eye surgery in the last 3 months and don't plan any during the study.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy, and if female of childbearing potential, you'll have a negative pregnancy test.

This study tests a new treatment for dry eye disease caused by Sjögren's syndrome. It may help people who still have dry eye symptoms even when using artificial tears.
This study tests a new eye drop called Acoltremon to see if it can relieve symptoms of moderate-to-severe dry eye disease. It may be a good option if you have had dry eye for at least 6 months and use artificial tears.
This trial tests an experimental eye drop (STSP-0902) for a condition called neurotrophic keratitis, where the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) gets scratches or sores because nerves are damaged. The drop contains a growth factor to help the eye heal. You might be eligible if you have a persistent scratch or sore on your cornea that has not improved for at least a week.
This trial tests whether a new eye drop called Lacripep can help treat neurotrophic keratitis, a rare eye condition where the cornea loses sensation and can become damaged. The study compares Lacripep to a placebo (inactive) drop to see if it improves corneal healing and vision.
This study tests a new medication called Acoltremon to see if it helps dry eye symptoms over a long period. If you've had dry eye for a while and used artificial tears, this trial might be for you.
This Phase 2 trial tests BRM424 eye drops in adults with neurotrophic keratitis (a weakened, slow-healing cornea) to see if they help and are safe over 28 days. You may be able to join if your condition matches Stage 2 or Stage 3 and you meet the safety rules.
