This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, superiority design Phase III clinical trial. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cyclosporine ophthalmic gel versus placebo in the treatment of moderate to severe dry eye for 84 days.
A total of 360 subjects are planned to be enrolled in this study. This study is divided into two stages. The first stage (double-blind treatment period) is the main efficacy and safety evaluation stage, which lasts for 84 days. During this period, subjects are randomly assigned to receive the experimental drug or control drug in a 1:1 ratio, with the analysis of the first stage as the main analysis. After completing the 84th day visit, the subjects will enter the second stage (open treatment period). The second stage is a safety observation period of 84 days, during which all subjects use the experimental drug.
