  • - The study aimed to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of perfluorohexyloctane (PFHO) eye drops for treating dry eye disease (DED) through the KALAHARI trial, which followed a previous study called GOBI.
  • - In the KALAHARI trial, 208 patients used PFHO drops for a year, with safety assessments indicating mostly mild adverse effects, while effectiveness was measured by improvements in corneal staining and dry eye scores.
  • - Results showed that PFHO was safe and well-tolerated, effectively maintaining improvements in DED symptoms over the study period, including for patients who switched from saline to PFHO.
