Until now there has been no treatment for the cause of the disorder, called keratoconjunctivitis sicca, although its symptoms can be controlled, according to Renee Kaswan of the University of Georgia in Athens. As previously announced, Can-Fite expects to soon enter a phase IIa clinical trial in Israel with CF101 for the treatment of Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS), an indication excluded from the SKK license agreement. It is indicated to increase tear production in patients whose tear production is presumed to be suppressed due to ocular inflammation associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca, or dry eye disease. |
