Filter by:A Randomized, Masked (Evaluator), Controlled, Prospective Study Evaluating the Effectiveness and Safety of the Tixel® Medical Device, Versus LipiFlow® in the Treatment of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
This study is a single center, prospective, randomized, controlled, double-masked, two-arm investigator-initiated study to investigate the efficacy of OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray on the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease in daily soft contact lens wearers.
The study objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of cenegermin (rhNGF) ophthalmic solution at 20 mcg/mL concentration administered three times daily for 4 weeks in patients with severe Sjogren's dry eye disease (DED) who are under chronic treatment with topical Cyclosporine A (CsA).
Primary objectives - To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in Schirmer I test (without anaesthesia) >10mm/5min at Week 4 by testing the superiority. - To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye questionnaire (SANDE) global score at Week 12 by testing the superiority. Secondary objectives - To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in Schirmer I test at Week 4, 8, 12 and 16 by testing the superiority. - To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in Cornea and conjunctiva vital staining with fluorescein (National Eye Institute [NEI] scales) at Week 4, 8, 12 and 16 by testing the superiority. - To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in Tear Film Break-Up Time (TFBUT) at Week 4, 8, 12 and 16 by testing the superiority. - To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in SANDE scores at Week 8, 12 and 16 by testing the superiority. - To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in worsening in symptom scores (SANDE) and/or NEI score at Week 4 by testing the superiority. - To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in impact of dry eye on everyday life (IDEEL) questionnaire at Week 4, 8, 12 and 16 by testing the superiority.
This is a Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Phase 2 Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Pilocarpine Ophthalmic Topical Cream for the Treatment of Signs and Symptoms of Dry Eye Disease.
The objective of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of tanfanercept ophthalmic solution 0.25% with placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.
An Exploratory, Single-Center, Double-Masked, Crossover Clinical Trial to Assess Safety and Tolerability of 0.25% Reproxalap Ophthalmic Solution Compared to Xiidra® in Subjects with Dry Eye Disease in a Dry Eye Chamber
Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray for amelioration of signs and symptoms of dry eye disease in subjects following laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of scleral contact lens wear on a DE population using coated (Hydra-PEG) and uncoated (control) lenses. Symptoms of DE, quality of the tear film, quality of life, epithelial and overall corneal thickness, vision and comfort will be assessed before and after dispensing and wearing the lenses for four weeks.
Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a disease of the ocular surface which may be secondary to a variety of causes, including cataract surgery. DED is characterized by loss of tear film stability and dry eye symptoms, and its pathogenesis is related to corneal nerve injury, decreased goblet cells, inflammation of the ocular surface, and dysfunction of the meibomian glands (MGD). MGD is the main cause of evaporative DED and can cause irregularity of the ocular surface, affecting the accuracy of the biometric calculation. In addition, it is a risk factor for DED exacerbation after cataract surgery, that may occur in about 40% of cases. Current therapies for DED include artificial tears, warm compresses, manual squeezing of the glands, eyelid hygiene, omega-3 fatty acids, topical cyclosporine, serum tears, topical azithromycin, oral doxycycline. The above therapies in some cases can provide only transient relief, affecting the outcome of cataract surgery and the quality of life of patients. Therefore, stabilization of the ocular surface before cataract surgery is important to achieve better post-operative comfort and a better refractive result. The introduction of LipiFlow thermal pulsation treatment (LTP) represents a controlled method of squeezing the obstructed Meibomian glands by applying heat to the upper and lower eyelids and simultaneously applying pulsatile pressure to the eyelid skin surfaces. The aim of our study will be to evaluate the effect of preoperative LipiFlow therapy in patients with age-related cataracts and mild to moderate MGD in reducing postoperative DED.
