Effectiveness of Topical Cyclosporin-A 0.1% Compared to Combined Topical Cyclosporin-A 0.1% with Topical Sodium Hyaluronate on Interleukin-6 Levels in the Tears of Patients with Dry Eye Disease
Introduction: Pro-inflammatory cytokines are important contributors to dry eye disease (DED). The cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 has become a therapeutic target in several DED drug studies. This randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effectiveness of topical cyclosporin-A 0.1% compared to t...

description | Introduction: Pro-inflammatory cytokines are important contributors to dry eye disease (DED). The cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 has become a therapeutic target in several DED drug studies. This randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effectiveness of topical cyclosporin-A 0.1% compared to the combination of topical cyclosporin-A 0.1% and sodium hyaluronate in reducing tear IL-6 levels in DED patients. Methods: The participants were 20 patients, each with two eyes, who had moderate-to-severe DED. Before and after treatment, the clinical degree of DED was examined in each group, using ocular surface disease index (OSDI) scores, tear break-up time (TBUT), fluorescent tests, and Schirmer I tests. In addition, tear samples were taken to examine IL-6 levels through the ELISA method. The results were analyzed using the t-test, Wilcoxon test, and Mann–Whitney test. The correlation between tear IL-6 levels and the severity of DED was analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Results: The study showed a significantly lower tear IL-6 level, OSDI score, and degree of ocular staining after either topical cyclosporin-A 0.1% or a combination of topical cyclosporin-A 0.1% and sodium hyaluronate (all values p < 0.05). Conclusions: The combination therapy was superior in reducing tear IL-6 levels. In addition, a correlation existed between tear IL-6 levels and the severity of DED based on the TBUT, although it was weak and not statistically significant. |
