Filter by:In the first stage, to evaluate the safety of the topical medication produced by Sina Pharmaceuticals, this medication is experimentally tested on 10 volunteer patients. If no side effects occur, eligible patients are enrolled in the study after examination by a specialist. The second stage is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial, during which selected patients are randomly assigned to the control and intervention groups. For patients in the intervention group, in addition to standard treatment, including eyelid hygiene and the use of artificial tears, a topical drop of Atorvastatin (50 microM) will be administered, one drop eight times a day in both eyes. In the control group, a placebo will be used in the same manner. The patients will be unaware of their assigned group. Clinical examinations, including Schirmer's test, tear breakup time, fluorescein staining, and completion of the dry eye syndrome questionnaire and dry eye questionnaire, will be conducted before and after the intervention to assess the level of eye dryness.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about licaminlimab (OCS-02) in the treatment of dry eye disease. The main question it aims to answer is if licaminlimab ophthalmic suspension is more effective than vehicle in treating signs of dry eye disease.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 5% tavilermide ophthalmic solution to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.
PURPOSE: The investigators propose a new treatment for refractory Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) patients with plasma jet to remove the hyperkeratinization layer from the lid margin to unblock terminal gland ducts and use thermal stimulation to enhance meibum delivery. METHODS: A prospective, interventional clinical safety and efficacy trial with 25 patients from the Department of Ophthalmology at Escola Paulista de Medicina (UNIFESP) to determine the efficacy and safety of the treatment of refractory MGD patients with plasma jet on both upper and lower lids. Patients will be submitted to an ophthalmology workup with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (ETDRS chart) and dry eye questionnaires (DEQ-5 and OSDI). Bulbar redness, tear film meniscus height, noninvasive breakup time (NIKBUT), meibography under infrared light will be measured with Keratograph (Oculus®). Following, tear film osmolarity (i-PenTM), meibomian gland expression, and Marx line assessment. All exams were performed at the baseline, 30 days, and 90 days after the plasma jet application.
Dry Eye Disease (DED)is a chronic disease without a cure. Empowering patients to engage in better self-care requires knowledge of their disease and skills in self-management, which can lead to improved well-being and quality of life. The Investigation team has developed a DED self-management program (video series and educational booklet) that can be easily implemented into clinical use. The Investigators are going to use the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) to measure the dry eye in the participants. In addition, the research team plans to use the heiQ (validated questionnaire that assesses self-management and health education programs) to evaluate the DED self-management program by comparing results taken at baseline to 2 months after undergoing the self-management program.
The VITamin D and OmegA-3 Trial (VITAL; NCT 01169259) is a randomized clinical trial in 25,875 U.S. men and women investigating whether taking daily dietary supplements of vitamin D3 (2000 IU) or omega-3 fatty acids (Omacor fish oil, 1 gram) reduces the risk of developing cancer, heart disease, and stroke in people who do not have a prior history of these illnesses. This ancillary study is being conducted among participants in VITAL and will examine whether omega-3 fatty acids or vitamin D3, compared to placebo, reduce the incidence and/or progression of dry eye disease.
