Background Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease of the tear film and ocular surface, characterized by ocular discomfort and visual disturbance.1 DED is associated with a number of systemic autoimmune diseases, particularly rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren9s syndrome.2,3 Lifitegrast is a lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) antagonist that inhibits T-cell–mediated inflammation (an underlying factor in DED) and is approved in the US for the treatment of signs and symptoms of DED (lifitegrast ophthalmic solution 5.0%, Xiidra®). Objectives To evaluate the combined evidence from 5 clinical trials of lifitegrast ophthalmic solution 5.0% (LIF) in subjects with dry eye disease (DED). Methods Adults with DED were randomized to LIF or placebo (PBO) in 5 randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trials: 4 12-week efficacy/safety studies (phase 2, LIF n=58, PBO n=58; phase 3 trials: OPUS-1, LIF n=293, PBO n=295; OPUS-2, LIF n=358, PBO n=360; OPUS-3, LIF n=355, PBO n=356), and a 1-year safety study (SONATA, LIF n=220, PBO n=111). Individuals with secondary Sjogren9s syndrome associated with autoimmune disease (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus) were eligible to participate if they were not immunodeficient/immunosuppressed, not taking steroids, and met all other inclusion and exclusion criteria. Change from baseline to day 84 in DED signs and symptoms was evaluated across the 12-week studies. Key measures were inferior corneal staining score (ICSS; 0–4 scale), eye dryness score (EDS; visual analogue scale [VAS], 0–100 scale), and visual-related function subscale of a symptom scale (0–4 scale). Pooled safety data (LIF n=1287, PBO n=1177) from all 5 trials were also analyzed. Results LIF improved ICSS versus PBO in the phase 2 study (secondary endpoint; treatment effect 0.35, nominal P=0.0209), OPUS-1 (co-primary; 0.24, P=0.0007), and OPUS-3 (ad hoc; 0.17, nominal P=0.0144). LIF reduced EDS (VAS) versus PBO in OPUS-2 (co-primary; 12.61, P Conclusions LIF improved signs and symptoms of DED in adults with DED and appeared to be well tolerated with no serious ocular TEAEs reported.
