Abstract
Key points
Novel topical therapeutics require extensive pre‐clinical testing to assess efficacy and safety.
Antibiofilm or immunosuppressant agents can utilize ex vivo models to measure ciliotoxicity.
Agents that are found to be effective and non‐toxic ex vivo warrant further investigation in vivo.
