So funktioniert es

12.1 Mechanism of Action Studies in animals suggest that acoltremon, the active substance in TRYPTYR, is an agonist of transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) thermoreceptors. TRPM8 thermoreceptor stimulation has been shown to activate trigeminal nerve signaling leading to increased basal tear production. The exact mechanism of action for TRYPTYR in dry eye disease is unknown.

Dosierung und Verabreichung

In patients with dry eye disease, 766 patients received at least one dose of TRYPTYR in four randomized controlled clinical trials across 71 sites in the United States. The most common ocular adverse reaction observed in controlled clinical studies with TRYPTYR was instillation site pain (50%). Less than 1% of patients discontinued therapy due to burning or stinging sensation in the eyes.
