Tom Gadek Part 3: Discovery and development of Lifitegrast: Clinical Study

In his third lecture, Gadek outlines Lifitegrast clinical trials, from Phase 1 to Phase 3, and presents evidence of Lifitegrast’s safety profile in normal individuals as well as the efficacy of the drug in treating dry eye syndrome. Lifitegrast’s story shows the different layers of drug development and the steps that companies go through to take a drug from the laboratory to the patient’s bedside and ultimately to the market.
