An Observational Study to Assess Optive MEGA-3 (OM3) on Dry Eye Symptoms and Quality of Life of Adult Participants With Mild to Moderate Dry Eye Disease (DED)

United States52 participantsStarted 2024-06-17

Plain-language summary

Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a condition where the tear film of the eye becomes unstable and along with ocular surface inflammation and damage leads to inadequate tear production and eye lubrication. This study will evaluate real-world experiences with Optive MEGA-3 (OM3) on relieving dry eye symptoms in adult participants with DED. OM3 is an over the counter (OTC) monograph drug indicated for the temporary relief of symptoms of eye dryness. Participants will administer 1 drop of OM3 on Day 1 for the acute phase of the study, then participants will administer 1-2 eye drops in each eye at least twice a day but as much as needed through Day 15. Around 50 adult participants will be enrolled at one site in the United States. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Study visits may be conducted on-site as per standard of care.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * During a routine visit, investigator will decide whether artificial tears are the appropriate treatment for potential participants with dry eyes and will then consider enrollment into this study. * Participant has at least one of the following signs of dry eye: * Three consecutive tear break-up time (TBUT) tests \<= 10 seconds in at least one eye at Screening Visit OR; * Grade 1 to 4 (modified National Eye Institute \[NEI\] Grid, score range = 0 to 5) staining in at least 1 area of the cornea (5 areas examined) or conjunctiva (6 areas examined) that is related to dry eye in at least 1 eye at Screening Visit. Exclusion Criteria: * Use of artificial tears in the last 24 hours. * Use of more than 4 drops of artificial tears per day in each eye. * Use of dry eye treatment other than artificial tears.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
