Filter by:Subjects with moderate-to-severe Dry Eye by symptoms will be screened including history, ophthalmic examination to include the status of their ocular structure and function and evaluation of tear production. Blood will be blood drawn for complete blood count and chemistry panel. They will also have a urinalysis and pregnancy test in women of child-bearing potential. Subjects will have a two week "run-in" period in which they use artificial tears. If their Dry Eye signs and symptoms do not improve significantly, they will be enrolled and will receive study drug. Safety evaluation includes assessment of the structure and function of the eyes including retina examination and corrected visual acuity. Subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms, ST266 or "artificial tears" eye drops. The randomization scheme is 1:1 ST266:artificial tears. Subjects will self-administer their eye drops four times each day. Subjects will be seen in the office of the ophthalmologist/optometrist at baseline (week zero), one week, three weeks, six weeks and ten weeks. Eye examination will be done at each visit. The baseline eye tests and lab work will be repeated after the treatment phase of the study at the end of week six. Following 6 weeks of treatment, the subjects will be followed for 4 additional weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of LME636 compared to vehicle in the reduction of ocular symptoms and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LME636, when administered topically for up to 42 days, in subjects with severe dry eye disease.
This observational study is intended to collect outcome data from a cohort of 90 patients suffering from symptoms of dry eye disease due to meibomian gland dysfunction who are treated with the medical device NovaTears® eye drops for a duration of 6 to 8 weeks.
This observational study is intended to collect outcome data from a cohort of 30 patients suffering from dry eye disease due to chronic ocular Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD) who are treated with the medical device NovaTears® eye drops for a duration of 11 to 13 weeks.
The objective of the Phase 2 study is to compare the safety and efficacy of cis-UCA Ophthalmic Solutions to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.
To evaluate the use of a point of care device to measure markers of inflammation in various eye conditions. In particular, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) will be measured. MMP-9 is an enzyme that plays a role in inflammation. The value obtained with the point of care device will be correlated with values obtained using gel electrophoresis to measure MMP-9 from the same sample. These data will be compared to clinical exam findings and questionnaires to help the investigators better understand the role of this marker of inflammation in eye diseases and possibly improve diagnostic abilities.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator applied intranasally compared with the same device applied extranasally (control) in treating the symptoms of dry eye exacerbated by the Controlled Adverse Environment (CAE) Model.
The investigators seek to characterize the identity of all microorganisms residing on the eye's surface (conjunctiva) in healthy eyes and those with dry eye syndrome, using a combination of analyses. Dry eye disease is thought to have an inflammatory basis and in the vast majority of cases the cause of the chronic inflammatory condition is unknown.
Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lifitegrast in subjects with dry eye disease and a recent history of artificial tear use.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy o fRefresh Optive® Gel Drops in patients with dry eye disease.
