Filter by:This is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study evaluating the safety and tolerability of NCX 4251 (fluticasone propionate nanocrystal) Ophthalmic Suspension 0.1% QD and BID for the treatment of acute exacerbations of blepharitis. The study will be performed in two sequential dose escalating cohorts. The study is designed to select the dose(s) of NCX 4251 to advance into the next stage of development, and to assess the safety and tolerability of NCX 4251 Ophthalmic Suspension.
To study of a novel, therapeutic Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Product (HCT/P) in the treatment of severe dry eye disease that is failing conventional treatments. This pilot study will carefully observe and monitor each qualifying and willing individual for response to treatment, signs of toxicity and adverse effects from the treatment, and for ability of the treatment to improve comfort and restore vision.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of, and patient satisfaction with Blephapad Combo in the treatment of posterior blepharitis.
The goal of this study is to compare which treatment - BlephEx or MiBoFlo - will be a better option for patients suffering from dry eye secondary to Meibomian Gland dysfunction.
In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) used in tertiary care ophthalmology centers is performed with two reflectance microscopes attached on a mounting with limited movement along the XYZ axes. Consequently, ocular diseases in the central area have been described (mostly cornea and adjacent conjunctiva). Two dermatology IVCM (an handheld small IVCM and a multifluorescent one) present significant innovations that the investigators want to assess in ophthalmology for the diagnosis of conjunctiva, cornea, eyelid and lachrymal tract diseases. The handheld IVCM have unlimited degrees of freedom and a small diameter objective. It could dramatically increase the area accessible to IVCM (whole conjunctiva, eyelids, proximal lachrymal tract) (part 1 of the present study). The fluorescent IVCM allows the use of a wide range of fluorescent markers liable to increase the specificity of the diagnosis by revealing staining patterns corresponding to a specific disease and not to others (part 2 of the study)
Blepharitis is a endemic inflammatory disease caused mainly by Demodex folliculorum and Demodex Brevis, This mites are often associated with anaerobic bacteria that produces a skin inflammation, so a intervention that reduces the number of mites and bacteria would be desirable. Ivermectin a macrolid compound have demonstrated activity against scabies and lice in humans and in animals and a single application have show a good response in lice eradication. In this study , investigators will determinate the security and effectiveness of this compound in the eradication of mites
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of KPI-121 ophthalmic suspension compared to vehicle (placebo) in subjects with signs and symptoms of inflammatory meibomian gland disease.
The purpose of this pilot feasibility study is to assess whether treating meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) prior to cataract surgery helps promote meibomian gland function, visual quality and ocular comfort after cataract surgery.
One hundred patients with the diagnosis of posterior blepharitis based on history taking and proper physical examinations by two experienced ophthalmologists will include in the study. Patients will diagnose with posterior blepharitis if they score at least one in two symptoms (based on a subjective grading scale) and two signs (based on an objective grading scale) of posterior blepharitis according to study criteria. Patients will exclude if they have the following criteria: age< 12 years old,history of previous ocular or lacrimal surgery,previous usage of contact lenses,any history of ocular allergy,history of systemic diseases with ocular involvement (except rosacea), history of usage of topical or systemic antibiotic in the last month, pregnancy or lactating mothers, liver failure and any history of sensitivity to cyclines. Qualified patients then randomly receive oral azithromycin (2 of 250 mg capsules for the first day and 250mg for the next 4 days) or oral doxycycline (100mg capsule every 12 hours for one month) in a double-blinded fashion. each patients in both treatment groups will accurately instruct to apply warm compress and eyelid scrubbing 2 times a day for 5 minutes each in the treatment period. Symptoms and signs were recorded for each patient in two treatment groups at baseline visit (before treatment) and then in the days 7, 31, 37 and 61 after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of ISV-305 (Dexamethasone in DuraSite® 2) compared to Vehicle in the treatment of subjects with active, symptomatic Blepharitis.
