Active clinical trials for "Dry Eye Syndromes"

Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray among subjects suffering from dry eye following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of CKD-350 in patients with dry eye syndrome

The purpose of this study is to determine the therapeutic effect of the chronic application of eye-drops on tear evaporation rate in dry eye and normal subjects exposed to a condition of environmental stress. The effect will be studied in terms of changes in tear physiology and the inflammatory biomarkers on the ocular surface.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance between two emulsion-type artificial tears.

Many patients refer to an oculoplastic or corneal clinic examination due to dry eye symptoms. epidemiologic studies estimate that as many as 15% of the population over 60 years suffer from dry eye. the disease can be treated both topically through several drugs or through mechanical closure of the lacrimal drainage system. in the past decade a few studies demonstrated the efficacy of anti inflammatory treatment on dry eye disease due to the inflammatory process that occurs in it. this treatment rises goblet cell counts but in the meantime elevates the intra ocular pressure and elevates the risk for infections. steroids that cause a lower increase in intraocular pressure have not been thoroughly evaluated in dry eye disease. we with to subjectively and objectively evaluate an FDA approved topical steroidal drug in the treatment of dry eye.

This study evaluates the use of topical cyclosporine 0.05% and sodium carboxymethylcellulose 0.5% for the treatment of dry eye disease in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Twenty HIV-positive-patients were selected from the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro Hospital. Dry eye diagnosis was based on a dry eye questionnaire (Ocular Surface Disease Index - OSDI®), Schirmer I Test, break up time and 1% rose bengal staining of the ocular surface. The patients were divided into two groups with ten patients. Group I received sodium carboxymethylcellulose 0.5% drops and group II received sodium carboxymethylcellulose 0,5% drops and topical cyclosporine 0.05% for six months.

This research is being done to to see if changes in visual reading function correlate with changes in optical and retinal image quality. We hypothesize that changes and deterioration in tear film quality and dynamics may have a negative effect on reading function. People with or without dry eye syndrome may enroll.

This is a first-in-human phase I/II randomized, double-blind, placebo (vehicle)-controlled, multicenter study to assess the Safety and Efficacy of AVX-012 Ophthalmic Solution in subjects with Mild-to-Moderate Dry Eye Syndrome. The study consists of two parts (part A and part B):

Subjects with pterygium and associated dry eye symptoms (DES) are randomized into an active cohort (receiving ocular administration of Dipyridamole) or placebo cohort (ocular administration of vehicle). Monthly follow up is conducted for 12 months. Testing conducted at follow up will assess dry eye / pterygium symptoms and endpoints and review the efficacy of the intervention.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a chronic ocular surface disease and the prevalence of DED has been reported as high as 50%. Recently, The international Dry Eyes Workshop II (DEWS II) defines dry eye as a "multifactorial disease of the ocular surface characterized by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film, and accompanied by ocular symptoms, in which tear film instability and hyperosmolarity, ocular surface inflammation and damage, and neurosensory abnormalities play etiological roles". A study done by Yoon et al. on 31 patients with severe DED concluded that UCS eye drops are effective and safe in treating severe DED. Studies found that EGF, TGF-β, VEGF and vitamin A levels were significantly higher in UCS than peripheral blood serum(PBS) whereas IGF content was significantly higher in PBS than in CBS. Yoon et al. then conducted another study whereby he compared UCS to AS in treating both Sjögren syndrome and non- Sjögren syndrome patients with severe dry eyes. They concluded that UCS eye drops were more effective in decreasing symptoms and keratoepitheliopathy in severe dry eye syndrome and increasing goblet cell density in Sjögren syndrome compared with AS drops. Despite proven more effective in treating DED, serum eye drops are not yet widely manufactured due to a few reasons. This study is chosen because Not many previous clinical trials done related to UCS eye drops. There were only two clinical trials done before to compare the use of UCS eye drops versus conventional AT eye drops on Hansen's disease and acute ocular chemical burn injury population. To apply the newer technology of Keratograph® 5M in DED assessment. To initiate a proper standard operating procedure for production as well as delivery of serum eye drops which allowing out-patient treatment with serum eye drops possible.
