Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab treating Thyroid Associated Ophthalmopathy.
The aim of the study is to use machine learning to develop an IT tool able to differentiate between eye conditions analysing corneal biomechanical data.
A prospective, non- interventional, observational, non-comparative, longitudinal cohort study design will be used to address the objectives of this study using data collected through a healthcare.
To assess the co-relation of COVID-19 in nasopharyngeal swabs and tears or saliva, and to determine duration of COVID-19 activity in ocular fluid and saliva by serial tests over 3 months.
The main objective of this study is to assess the clinical and mechanistic effect of using Ocular surface immunoglobulin (OSIG) eye drops for treating Dry Eye Disease. Therefore, the investigator will perform a prospective, phase II, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-masked, tolerability and efficacy clinical trial using OSIG-eye drops in patients with Dry Eye Disease. This clinical trial will be powered to detect efficacy of the treatment. This will be a Randomized controlled trial, in which a total of 40 subjects will be enrolled at one clinical site. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two groups (#1, #2), with 20 subjects per group. One group will be given placebo (Normal saline eye drops) and the other group will be given eye drops containing the study drug (OSIG). Treatment will be for eight weeks.
This study is to characterize mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) populations in adults with eye injuries and eye diseases. The eye exam is often hindered by the clouding of tissues involved in injury or disease. This protocol examines the use of mtDNA populations as indicators of developing inflammation and resolution of injury. This may be used to provide proactive treatment or define appropriate treatment needs beyond the indications of an ophthalmological exam.
Discomfort with contact lens wear is the biggest reason why people stop wearing contact lenses. The investigators believe that inflammation is one of the causes of discomfort, and by blocking the inflammation using lifitegrast, the investigators may be able to relieve some of that discomfort. This study will enroll 50 subjects with contact lens discomfort and will receive lifitegrast to use over a period of approximately 3 months.
Every night during sleep, there is an accumulation of white blood cells in the closed eye. The closed eye white blood cells are predominantly neutrophils, but there is a small population (3%) of T cells. The effects of these closed eye white blood cells on dry eye disease pathogenesis have yet to be fully elucidated, but preliminary evidence suggests that closed eye neutrophils may have an associated hyperactivity and increased degranulation in dry eye disease that could contribute to epithelial instability. As an anti-T cell therapy, Xiidra offers an opportunity to better understand how the closed eye white blood cells are recruited and activated. This study also seeks to verify the proposed mechanism of action.
ASTED (Antioxidant Supplements for TED) trial is an investigator-initiated, randomized, triple masked, clinical trial of a selected combination of vitamins and minerals versus placebo in patients with moderate to severe thyroid eye disease. The trial has a parallel-arm design.
