This study wants to use a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of receiving acupuncture GB20 or GB20 plus BL2 on alleviating the ocular dryness symptom from dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome. One hundred dry eye syndrome subjects are composed of 50 dry eye syndrome subjects and 50 Sjögren's syndrome' dry eye subjects, and all are randomized into 40 Group GB20 and 40 Group GB20 plus BL2 (GBL), and 20 Group Waiting list; while we also include 20 healthy controls. Fifty dry eye syndrome subjects are randomized into 20 Group GB20, 20 Group GBL and 10 Group Waiting list in first year; while both Group GB20 or GBL received acupuncture twice a week 8 weeks for efficacy evaluation, and 10 Group Waiting list receive no any acupuncture treatment. And we could use the Whole-genome genotyping, oral microbiota, Schirmer's test, Tear breakup time, Cytokines, OSDI, TCM pattern, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tongue diagnosis, TCM pulse diagnosis, and TCM heart rate variability for this purpose. In second year, another 50 dry eye syndrome subjects are also enrolled and randomized into randomized into 20 Group GB20, 20 Group GBL and 10 Group Waiting list; while both Group GB20 or GBL received acupuncture twice a week 8 weeks for efficacy evaluation with above outcome measurements, and 10 Group Waiting list receive no any acupuncture treatment. Meanwhile, we also include 20 healthy controls, and we want to find the difference with the comparison between the dry eye syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome and healthy control in second year. Through the analysis for dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome, we could find the biomarker to differentiate dry eye syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome and healthy control. In the future, this work could be applied for screening and diagnosis of pre-dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome, and this integrated TCM with Western Medicine plan could be applied for the goal of holistic health care.
To explore the association with TCM pattern and TCM tongue diagnosis for Autoimmune disease and Dry eye syndrome.
Ocular surface disease (OSD), particularly dry eye, is one of the most common conditions seen by ophthalmologists. Dry eye (DE) is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear instability. DE significantly reduces quality of life and affects 5-30% of the population. As the proportion of individuals over age 60 increases because of greater life expectancies, we can anticipate the number of people with dry eye will also increase, which represents a major challenging for aging societies, like the Chilean one. In the last few years clinical research on OSD is being intensely focused on diagnostic criteria, treatment strategies, methods used in diagnosis and better correlations between symptoms and clinical test results. All these lines of interest aim to improve the understanding of alterations and consequences occurring in the ocular surface disorders. Diagnostic testing is greatly valuable both for the detection of early changes due to DE and also to grade the severity of surface disease. The most commonly performed tests include the Schirmer test, tear break up time (TBUT), and ocular surface staining. However, newer point-of-care diagnostics tests such as tear osmolarity and matrix metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) have been shown to have a high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing ocular surface dysfunction. Given that ocular surface dysfunction has been shown to have an adverse impact on visual function and can worsen after surgery, it is critical to identify and address any tear film and ocular surface abnormalities before cataract surgery. In the setting of preoperative cataract surgery planning, DE disease and meibomian gland dysfunction can impair critical refractive measures such as keratometry values worsening surgical outcomes. To the best of our knowledge there are no ongoing or published studies that have evaluated DE and OSD as evidenced by either an abnormal tear-film parameter (elevated MMP-9 or abnormal osmolarity), or corneal surface and meibography evaluation findings (using novel non-invasive technology) in patients previous and after cataract surgery.
The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of BRM421 Ophthalmic Solution to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether SkQ1 Ophthalmic Solution is safe and effective compared to Vehicle for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye syndrome.
This study aims to obtain the lacrimal fingerprint for frequent pathologies of the ocular surface and establish a normative base for each of them.
A Multi-Center, Phase 2/3, Randomized, Double-Masked, Parallel-Group, Vehicle-Controlled, Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Voclosporin Ophthalmic Solution (0.05%, 0.10%, 0.20%) Compared to Vehicle in Subjects with Dry Eye Syndrome.
This is the first study in humans to evaluate the effectiveness of SJP-0132 in the treatment of dry eye disease. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of single- and multiple-dose regimens of SJP-0132 in subjects with dry eye disease
This will be a 2 stage study in which Stage 1 will evaluate the safety of AGN-242428 and AGN-231868, how well they are tolerated and how they move through the body when administered. After the sponsor's determination of adequate safety and tolerability of the interventions in Stage 1, Stage 2 will begin. Stage 2 will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of AGN-242428 and AGN-231868, how effective they are in treating dry eye disease and assess the plasma and tear exposure of both ophthalmic solutions.
