Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops group

Arm Description

The patients with VKC will receive Cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops or Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5% and Tobramycin Eye Drops 0.3% effect of Cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops would be evaluated during the follow-up visits.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Changes of ocular signs
The eye signs of the patients were observed under a slit lamp, including Conjunctival Hyperemia, Tarsal papillary, Limbal hypertrophy, Horner-Trantas dots, and Keratitis in some patients.The observer gives the corresponding score.The higher the score, the more serious it is (0-4 points)
Changes of self-conscious symptoms
The VAS scoring table was used for the patients' self-conscious symptoms, including pruritus, foreign body sensation, Photophobia and tears, and viscous secretions. The patients under study were self-scored at each review. 0-100 points, 0 indicates no discomfort, and 100 indicates the most significant pain. The intraocular pressure at each review was recorded by a non-contact tonometer.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To observe and compare the clinical efficacy of cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops with Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5% and Tobramycin Eye Drops 0.3% in the treatment of Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis in developing regions of China.
Detailed Description
Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is an allergic disease that severely affects the eyesight of adolescents. Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) usually occurs in temperate regions such as the Mediterranean region, the Middle East, Africa, Central America, and the Indian subcontinent. In the EU an estimated 3.2 per 10,000 inhabitants (0.03%). It occurs repeatedly and mainly involves type I and type IV hypersensitivity. long-term standardized treatment is necessary. Therefore, this research aims to compare the readily available cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops and Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5% and Tobramycin Eye Drops 0.3% in developing regions of Asia (China, Jiangxi Province) for long-term drug use in VKC patients in developing countries provide evidence.

8. Arms, Groups, and Interventions

Arm Title
Cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops group
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
The patients with VKC will receive Cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops or Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5% and Tobramycin Eye Drops 0.3% effect of Cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops would be evaluated during the follow-up visits.
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
Cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops
Intervention Description
Use of 0.05% CSA could significantly reduce IL-4, IL-5, IL-17A, and TNF in tears of VKC patients- α、 IFN- γ And eosinophil chemokine levels. Cyclosporine A (CSA) can effectively control ocular inflammation by blocking Th2 lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 production. It can also inhibit the recruitment of eosinophils by inhibiting the release of histamine by mast cells and reducing the production of IL-5 further to improve its curative effect on VKC
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5% and Tobramycin Eye Drops 0.3%
Intervention Description
Corticosteroids can inhibit the release of mast cells, block the chemotaxis of inflammatory cells, and reduce the number of mast cells and eosinophils in the conjunctiva. At the same time, it can inhibit phospholipase A2 and quickly alleviate symptoms and signs.
