Clinical trials begin in September for Lacrtin in Sjogren's patients specifically.

Trials take a long time partially due to lack of funding for these smaller companies. This is just one of several new drops being tested.

If you'd like the link to our petition asking for research, funding and lower cost effective drops, please ask me and I will send you the link as I don't have permission to post it here, only permission to email it.

Thank you.

How does one participate in a clinical trial? Do you have to have an opthamologist  offer this to you, or do you sign up somewhere?
