Abstract
Dry eye syndrome is a common disorder provoking changes in tear quantity and composition being the most common ophthalmic manifestation of systemic inflammatory diseases. Untreated dry eye could cause increased risk of ocular infection, corneal ulcer and blindness. Only a few drugs are authorized so far for the treatment of dry eye disease and the possibilities of evolution in this sector are immense. Accordingly, the future tendency is towards the development of drugs to control the inflammation or stimulate the mucin and tear secretion. A significant number of new potential solutions are under development or placed in the pharmaceutical pipeline, promising better results and lesser side effects, but still leaving unattended the main causes of the disease. In this article, we review the corresponding literature, recent clinical trials data and patents concerning future pharmaceutical compounds for dry eye disease treatment, presenting the new strategic movements of the pharmaceutical industry.
El síndrome de ojo seco es un trastorno bastante común, provocando cambios en la cantidad y la composición de lágrima, siendo la manifestación oftálmica más común de enfermedades inflamatorias sistémicas. El ojo seco no tratado puede provocar un aumento del riesgo de infección ocular, úlceras corneales y en casos extremos ceguera. Actualmente sólo unos pocos fármacos están autorizados para el tratamiento de la enfermedad y las posibilidades de evolución en este sector son inmensas. La tendencia del futuro está dirigida hacia el desarrollo de fármacos que controlan la inflamación o estimulan la secreción de las mucinas y de las lágrimas. Un número significativo de nuevos compuestos están en desarrollo o ya están en ensayos clínicos, con aparentes mejores resultados y efectos secundarios menos adversos, pero una vez más dejando desatendidas las principales causas de la enfermedad. En este artículo revisamos la literatura correspondiente, los últimos datos de los ensayos clínicos y las patentes relativas a futuros compuestos farmacéuticos para el tratamiento de la enfermedad del ojo seco, desvelando los nuevos movimientos estratégicos de la industria farmacéutica.
