Dry Eye Assessment and Management (DREAM©) Study: Study design and baseline characteristics.


ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Describe trial design and baseline characteristics of participants in the DRy Eye Assessment and Management (DREAM©) Study. DESIGN:Prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-masked "real-world" clinical trial assessing efficacy and safety of oral omega-3 (?3) supplementation for the treatment of dry eye disease (DED). METHODS:RESULTS: Mean age of participants was 58.0?±?13.2?years. Mean OSDI score at baseline was 44.4?±?14.2. Mean conjunctival staining score (scale 0-6) was 3.0?±?1.4, corneal staining score (scale 0-15) was 3.9?±?2.7, tear break-up time was 3.1?±?1.5?s, and Schirmer test was 9.6?±?6.5?mm/5?min. CONCLUSIONS:DREAM© participants mirror real world patients who seek intervention for their DED-related symptoms despite their current treatments. Results regarding the efficacy of omega-3 supplementation will be helpful to clinicians and patients with moderate to severe DED who are considering omega-3 as a treatment. This trial design may be a model for future RCT's on nutritional supplements and DED treatments seeking to provide useful information for clinical practice. TRIAL REGISTRATION:ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT02128763.
