Active clinical trials for "Dry Eye Syndromes"

This study investigates whether the oral intake of a probiotics capsule product may relieve dry eye symptoms. Participants will be aged between 20 - 65 years of age, with confirmed diagnosis of dry eye status. The participants will be assessed for several parameters and asked to take 1 probiotics capsule per day for 35 days. The parameters will include ocular surface health, tear volume, tear quality, intraocular pressure, tear osmolarity and serum biochemical test. After the 35 days are completed, the participants will be assessed again for the same parameters.

This is a parallel randomized controlled trial for the treatment of dry eye disease. The main objective is to investigate the efficacy and safety of the use of insulin eye drops in the control of moderate-severe dry eye disease. Topical insulin drops will be compared to the current gold standard treatment, cyclosporin and placebo (artificial tears).

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is among the leading causes for dry eye syndrome (DES), affecting millions of people worldwide. We have shown in a previous study that tear film thickness (TFT) is reduced in patients with DES and that this reduction correlates with tear break up time (BUT) as well as with the severity of subjective symptoms. Even though systemic tetracyclines as well as topical azithromycin can be used for the treatment of MGD, it seems that topical azithromycin is more effective than tetracyclines and also has the advantage of better tolerability. The hypothesis of the present study is that topical treatment with azithromycin leads to a more pronounced increase in TFT compared to oral doxycycline in patients with DES caused by MGD. The objective of this study is to compare the effect of treatment with topical azithromycin or oral doxycycline on tear film thickness in patients with DES caused by MGD.

This is a confirmatory clinical investigation. The objective is to collect new additional clinical data demonstrating the safety and performance of the device in the contact-lens wearing population with dry eyes. The hypotheses are that T2769 improves dry eye symptomatology (e.g. decrease in CLDEQ-8 score, in OSDI score, ocular discomfort assessed by VAS) and signs (e.g. increase in Schirmer and TBUT, decrease in Oxford score) at D36, in comparison to baseline. The primary objective of this investigation is to assess the performance of T2769 in contact lens wearers with dry eye symptoms in terms of change from baseline (Day 1) to Day 36 (Final visit) in Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire-8 (CLDEQ-8) total score.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Umbilical Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UMSCs) derived Exosomes could alleviate dry eye symptoms in patients with chronic Graft Versus Host Diseases (cGVHD).

To explore the law of changes in ocular surface inflammation when 0.05% cyclosporine eye drops (II) is used to treat dry eye, 50 cases of mild to moderate dry eyes were included. The expectation is finding out whether cyclosporine has a regulatory effect on conjunctival microvascular parameters and other inflammation indicators after cyclosporine eye drops treat dry eye, and analyze the value of conjunctival microvascular indicators in dry eye immunosuppressive therapy.

This is a multi-center, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled study testing PL9643, an opthalmic solution to determine if safe and efficacious for dry eye patients. After a 2-week run-in period, patients will be randomized equally to the PL9643 opthalmic solution or vehicle opthalmic solution administered bilaterally three times a day for 12 weeks. A Data Monitoring Committee will be engaged to review interim data.

Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a multifactorial pathology characterized by inflammation of the lacrimal functional unit that develops in ocular surface pathology, severely affecting patients quality of life. The core of the treatment relies at present in antinflammatory topical therapies, which are still scarce. The investigators hypothesize that osteopathy-based techniques may help these patients by influencing the central involvement regarding parasympathetic innervation of tear and saliva-secreting glands. The aim of this osteopathic treatment protocol is to release the involved structures in the tear-secreting system innervation, such as the sphenopalatine ganglion. In addition, this ganglion innervates the minor salivary glands, therefore it is intended to help patients suffering from xerostomia. The hypothesis then is that a systemic protocol treatment can help balance both parts of the vegetative nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic) with the objective of increasing the secretion of tear and saliva in patients with ocular and oral dryness (DED and xerostomia, respectively), thus improving their clinical situation. This osteopathic protocol does not have the potential to cause adverse effects. The main objective is to analyze the efficacy of this protocol application in terms of improving symptoms and signs of ocular and oral dryness, tear film quality and inflammation molecule levels in tears and saliva.
