Background: Dry eye disease (DED) is a chronic ocular surface disease that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Although 0.05% cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion (CsA OE) has long been prescribed in the U.S. for the treatment of DED, it is not commercially available in China. Our study aims to compare the efficacy and safety profile of 0.05% CsA OE versus vehicle in Chinese patients with moderate to severe DED.Methods: This was a multicenter, randomized, double-masked, 2-parallel-arm, 3-month phase III study. Patients with moderate to severe DED were randomized to receive twice-daily 0.05% CsA OE or its vehicle, along with unpreserved hypromellose eye drops 3 times per day. Patients were followed up at day 7, 28, 56, and 84, as well as 2 weeks after the medications were discontinued for safety assessment.Results: A total of 240 patients were randomized. The overall effective rate (OER) and efficacy index were significantly better in the CsA OE than vehicle group at all follow up times (all P
