Dry Eye Disease: Understanding
Dry Eye Disease: Overview
Dry eye disease (DED), also known as dry eye syndrome (DES), keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), and keratitis sicca, is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface due to a loss of homeostasis of the tear film. It often results in ocular symptoms and visual disturbance due to underlying tear film instability, ocular suface inflammation and damage, and neuorsensory abnormalities.
Tear hyperosmolarity and instabiliy are the principal components of the primary drivers of dry eye disease. The two major types of DED, aqueous deficient dry eyes (ADDE) and evaporative dry eyes (EDE), can both be related to tear hyperosmolarity and instability. In EDE, tear film lipid deficiency from meibomian gland dysfunction results in excessive evaporation of the tear film. This leads to tear hyperosmolarity in the presence of normal lacrimal function. In ADDE, reduced tear secretion from the lacrimal glands due to lacrimal gland damage (for exmaple, in Sjögren disease) leads to the hyperosmolarity of the tear film despite a normal evaporation rate of the tear film. The patient with dry eyes will typically complain of sensations of burning, grittiness, foreign body sensation and actual dryness. These symptoms are usually exacerbated by wind, air conditioning, prolonged staring (such as reading or computer use) and other conditions which contribute to a decrease in blink rate or an increase in evaporation rate. Dry eye can cause a scratchy feeling, like there’s something in eye, stinging or burning feelings in eye, red eyes, sensitivity to light, blurry vision, etc.
The accurate diagnosis and classification of DED is complicated by the heterogeneous nature of the disease and wide variations in symptoms. A number of clinical tests assessing signs of DED are available that can broadly be divided into either those that evaluate tear production/quality or those that assess the integrity of the ocular surface. However, there is lack of a single test that can be used to accurately assess disease progression or response to treatment. The clinical picture of DED is further complicated by the observation that changes in and severity of clinical signs often does not correspond to patient-reported symptoms. This may impact both the diagnosis and management of DED in clinical practice and the design and interpretation of clinical trials with sign and symptom endpoints.
The management of DED is highly complicated because of its multifactorial etiology associated with many mechanisms. Therefore, when making a diagnosis of dry eye, clinicians should clearly determine the underlying etiology, such as EDE or ADDE, which are the mechanisms that cause DED, and/or other ocular surface diseases, and they should administer relevant treatments accordingly. . Treatment planning based on treatment algorithms is done according to disease severity. Treatment planning based on treatment algorithms is done according to disease severity. However, due to the coexistence of many factors in DED, strictly adhering to the algorithm system does not always work.

Dry Eye Disease Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Dry Eye Disease report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.
Dry Eye Disease Emerging Drugs
AR-15512: Alcon
AR-15512 is an investigational eye drop currently in clinical development at Aerie as a potential treatment for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. It has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The active ingredient in AR-15512 is a proprietary small-molecule selective agonist of the transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) cold thermoreceptor, which represents a novel therapeutic target for dry eye. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its development for the treatment of dry eyes disease.
HL036: HanAll Biopharma
HL036 (tanfanercept), jointly developed by HanAll Biopharma and Daewoong Pharmaceutical, is a novel, topical biologic treatment under development to treat inflammatory eye diseases by inhibiting TNF, which is involved in ocular inflammation. The first Phase III clinical trial (VELOS-2) for dry eye disease was completed in the US. It is being developed in Phase III in China by Harbour BioMed, HanAll’s out-licensing partner for the greater China region.
OTX-DED: Ocular Therapeutix
OTX-DED, is a low dose, intracanalicular insert of dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with episodic dry eye disease. OTX-DED is designed to release dexamethasone over a period of two to three weeks for the short-term treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. OTX-DED may offer patients the opportunity to be treated with a physician-administered, preservative-free and hands-free steroid therapy. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of dry eyes disease.
SY-201: Seinda Pharmaceutical
SY-201, which is being developed by Seinda Pharmaceutical, is under developmental Phase I/II for the treatment of dry eye disease. It is administered through ophthalmic route in the form of solution.
iVIEW 1001: IVIEW Therapeutics
IVW-1001 is a TRPM8 receptor agonist which selectively activates TRPM8 receptors and their activation has the potential to reduce discomfort. Evidence from clinical studies showed that topical TRPM8 activation reduced eye discomfort and increased tear secretion in those with DED. In January 2023, iVIEW Therapeutics announced that the company completed a successful pre-IND meeting with FDA and received the agency’s full agreement on all CMC, non-clinical and clinical development plans to develop IVW-1001 for the treatment of sign and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED). The company is targeting to initiate Phase I/II clinical trials for dry eye patients in the end of 2023.
