Xiidra is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to lifitegrast or to any of the other ingredients.1
Across 5 clinical studies, the most common adverse
reactions (reported in 5%-25% of patients) were1*:
Instillation-site
irritation
Dysgeusia
Reduced visual
acuity
*In 5 clinical studies of dry eye disease with lifitegrast ophthalmic solution, 1401 patients received at least one dose of lifitegrast (1287 of which received Xiidra). The majority of patients (84%) had up to 3 months of treatment exposure. One hundred-seventy patients were exposed to Xiidra for approximately 12 months.1
SONATA safety study information
The 1-year, multicenter, randomized, prospective, double-masked, placebo-controlled, phase 3 SONATA study evaluated the safety of Xiidra compared to vehicle in 331 adult patients who had a self-reported history of dry eye disease. The most common treatment-emergent adverse reactions (>5%) in either treatment group were instillation-site irritation, instillation-site reaction, reduced visual acuity, dry eye, and dysgeusia. Artificial tear use was assessed as an exploratory end point.2

Assessment of drop comfort in pivotal studies
The comfort of Xiidra can improve over time
- Numerical improvement in drop comfort scores were seen in the phase 3 OPUS 1-3 studies from day 14 through day 84 at 3 minutes post instillation3-5§
- Drop comfort was measured based on patient-reported scores from 0 (very comfortable) to 10 (very uncomfortable)3-6
§The safety and efficacy of Xiidra were assessed in 4 multicenter, randomized, prospective, double-masked, placebo-controlled studies (1 phase 2 study, and 3 phase 3 studies [OPUS-1, OPUS-2, and OPUS-3]). The 4 studies evaluated the safety and efficacy of Xiidra compared to vehicle in 2133 patients. Results from OPUS-1 day 0 did not show drop comfort score improvement at the 3-minute mark compared to baseline. Drop comfort was evaluated at day 0 in the phase 2 study and numerical improvement in drop comfort was seen at the 3-minute mark compared to baseline.3-6
