Active clinical trials for "Dry Eye Syndromes"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of LME636 compared to vehicle in the reduction of ocular symptoms and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LME636, when administered topically for up to 42 days, in subjects with severe dry eye disease.

This study will evaluate the efficacy of Retaine™ ophthalmic emulsion in treating the signs and symptoms of dry eye syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of SI-614 solution compared with placebo solution in treating patients with dry eye.

The "dry eye syndrome" DES is a highly prevalent ocular disease, in particular in the elderly population. One mainstay of therapy for patients suffering from DES is the use of topically administered lubricants. However, despite many efforts, no "ideal" formulation has yet been found. Recently, Croma Pharma has introduced chitosan-N-acetylcysteine eye drops, designed for treatment of symptoms related to DES. Chemically, chitosan is a polycationic biopolymer with favourable biological properties such as high biocompatibility and low toxicity. Additionally, the new formulation comprises N-acetylcysteine, which has been used in ophthalmology because of its mucolytic properties for several years. Based on theoretical considerations, one can hypothesize that the new chitosan derivative may show an increased adhesion to mucins of the ocular surface and may therefore be particularly beneficial in reducing the symptoms associated with DES. We have recently shown in a phase I trial that single instillation of chitosan-N-acetylcysteine eye drops is well tolerated in young healthy subjects. However, no data is yet available about safety and tolerability of chitosan-N-acetylcysteine in subjects wearing contact lenses. This is of special interest because the tear film is critical to successful contact lens wear. Disturbances of the quantity or quality of the tear film results in intolerance of contact lens wear and possible damage to the ocular surface. This trial seeks to investigate the local tolerability and possible ocular discomfort of chitosan-N-acetylcysteine eye drops after repeated instillation .

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lifitegrast ophthalmic solution compared to placebo in the treatment of dry eye.

The primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of different doses of rhNGF when administered as eye drops to patients with dry eye.

The purpose of this study was to see if Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can be used safely and effectively to help treat dry eyes from ocular rosacea after chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Current treatment options for this disease are limited.

The objective of the study is to see if there is a change in tear osmolarity over time when moderate to severe dry eye subjects are treated with TheraTears® lubricating drops.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety of lifitegrast ophthalmic solution compared to placebo in the treatment of dry eye as assessed by ocular and non-ocular adverse events when administered BID for approximately 1 year.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rebamipide ophthalmic suspension in subjects with dry eye syndrome.
