JOIN UP NOW FOR CLINICAL TRIALS IN BIRTINYA, SUNSHINE COAST 
If you are aged between 18 and 75 years old and have had a confirmed diagnosis of Sjögren’s disease for at least three months, you may be eligible for the study of an investigational eye drop which may relieve dry eye signs and symptoms.
Sjögren’s syndrome is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects over 270,000 Australians, many of whom may be undiagnosed. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s moisture-producing glands, resulting in symptoms such as dry eyes, dry mouth, fatigue, and joint pain. The condition can significantly affect daily life. Since current treatments are not effective for everyone, ongoing research is essential to develop better therapeutic options.
We are seeking applications from people who:
are aged 18 to 75 years of age
have had a medical diagnosis of Sjögren’s disease for at least 3 months
have chronic dry eyes and are using daily lubricant eye drops
are willing to stop using any other eye drops except the study eye drop mediation and very limited use of artificial tears for the duration of the trial can attend at least 4 visits at our Birtinya clinic and 1 phone call over approximately 8 weeks.
Eligible participants will be reimbursed for their time on the trial.
