Filter by:This study aims to analyze the changes of corneal nerve morphology and function in contact lens-related dry eye(CLADE) patients and further discuss the role of corneal nerve in the genesis and development of CLADE.
Individuals with dry eye tend to present with ocular pain which persists despite the use of topical treatment. This could be secondary to somatosensory impairment attributable to neuropathic pain. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) on corneal nerves and chronic ocular pain in patients with dry eye.
This is a Phase 2a, multi-center, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to explore the efficacy activity of VVN001 ophthalmic solution versus vehicle in subjects with dry eye disease.
This 6 month study seeks to compare the use of Intracanalicular Dexamethasone in conjunction with Restasis (cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion) for the treatment of signs and symptoms of dry eye disease as compared to Restasis with Lotemax (loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension 0.5%) and Restasis monotherapy.
Dry eye disease (DED) is a disease of the ocular surface characterised by ocular surface inflammation and damage and neurosensory abnormalities. Tear film breakup leading to localised hyperosmolarity can result in ocular surface damage either directly or through the cascade of inflammation that it initiates. Transplantation of human amniotic membrane has been used for many ophthalmic indications including many related to inflammation of the ocular surface. A recent study published by McDonald and colleagues in 2018 conducted in 84 DED patients (97 eyes) receiving cryopreserved AM treatment (Prokera) in addition to prior maximal medical management demonstrated an improved ocular surface along with a notable reduction in disease severity scores. Omnigen is a dehydrated amniotic membrane derived from human sources and certified by the UK Human Tissue Authority. OmniLenz Bandage Contact Lens (BCL) is a bespoke bandage contact lens (BCL) designed to enable the application of Omnigen without the need for either sutures or glue. The application procedure takes approximately 15 minutes and the patients wear the lens continually. The McDonald study indicates that any improvement seen persists for at least three months. This study aims to expand on the work by McDonald et al. The study will be a randomised, parallel group study comparing Omnigen treatment applied with an OmniLenz BCL to OmniLenz BCL alone. The later treatment enables a degree of masking and for any difference to be attributable to the Omnigen rather than a contact lens. This is in line with the recommendations laid out be the DEWS group. Interim data and analysis will be conducted after enrolment of 20 patients. Following the first week application the eye will be assessed, and a further treatment applied for a further week. Therefore, the total treatment period will be two weeks with follow-up assessments at one and three months. At six months patients will complete an OSDI and EQ-5D assessment via email or post. The primary efficacy variability will be change in OSDI score, a patient reported scoring of dry eye symptoms. A number of clinical assessments of the ocular surface will also be performed as part of the secondary outcomes whilst the opportunity to measure a number of exploratory measures will enable further work following this study.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of CsA ophthalmic gel in the treatment of moderate to severe dry eye disease .
SDP-4-CS202 is a Phase 2, multicenter, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled, parallel group study designed to evaluate the ocular efficacy of SDP-4 ophthalmic solution in subjects with moderate to severe dry eye disease over an 8-week treatment period. Once concentration (1%) of SDP-4 ophthalmic solution will be given in a parallel group to vehicle via topical ocular instillation BID.
The proposed study is a prospective, open-label, unicentric, phase IV clinical trial. This study is design to find new efficacy biomarkers for IKERVIS® (1mg/mL ciclosporin) eye drops after 1 and 3 month after initiation of therapy. Additionally, this study intends to investigate whether IKERVIS® will help patients to better overcome situations of desiccating stress by exposing them to an adverse controlled environment (ACE) and analyzing both clinical and molecular parameters.
The purpose of this study was to access the possible beneficial effects of oral use of pilocarpine in relieving signs and symptoms of patients with Sjogren's syndrome
Patient satisfaction and dry symptoms in patients undergoing routine uncomplicated cataract surgery in NHS patients treated with prophylactic phosphate-free, preservative-free lubricant eye drops (0.3% cross linked sodium hyaluronate, AEONTM Protect Plus and0.15% Sodium Hyalu-ronate with vitamins A and E, AEONTM Repair): A randomized, prospective, controlled study.
