Active clinical trials for "Eye Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether injection of autologous fat or hyaluronic-acid injections in temporal region are effective in the treatment of temporal hollowing after lateral wall decompression in patients with thyroid eye disease.

Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is the most common extra-thyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease (GD), being observed in ~25% of patients. Besides genetic and demographical variables, risk factors associated with the development of GO in GD patients are known to be inadequate control of hyperthyroidism, radioiodine treatment, and smoking. In a large retrospective study conducted in more than 8,000 individuals with GD it was observed that treatment with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme reductase inhibitors, better known as statins, is associated with a ~40% reduced risk of developing GO in GD patients. The findings were interpreted as the consequence of the anti-inflammatory action of statins, being GO notoriously an autoimmune, inflammatory conditions. Statins are widely used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, for which they are quite effective. The possibility that their "protective" effect in terms of GO development in GD patients, as observed by Stein et al., was simply due to their hypolipemic actions was not considered. To evaluate the possibility that the findings reflected lowering of cholesterol rather than a direct anti-inflammatory effect of statins a prospective, observational study to assess the association between GO and high cholesterol levels and/or the relationship between the degree and/or activity of GO and hypercholesterolemia is ongoing. Preliminary findings suggest that GO is more severe and active in patients with high cholesterol levels. On the basis of these observations, the present randomized clinical trial was designed to be performed in hypercholesterolemic patients with GD and moderate-to-severe and active GO, aimed at investigating if lowering of cholesterol levels with statins is associated with a better outcome of GO.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether SYL1001 ophthalmic solution is safe and effective in the treatment of signs and symptoms of Dry Eye Disease.

The objective of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of DE-089 ophthalmic solution in patients with dry eye disease in Taiwan.

The overall objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of teprotumumab in the treatment of thyroid eye disease (TED) in participants who participated in the lead-in study HZNP-TEP-301 (NCT03298867; OPTIC) and who were either proptosis non-responders at Week 24 of HZNP-TEP-301 or were proptosis responders at Week 24 but met the criteria for re-treatment due to relapse during the Follow-Up Period of HZNP-TEP-301.

A Multi-Center, Phase 2b, Randomized, Double Masked, Parallel-Group, Vehicle-Controlled, Clinical Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Reproxalap Ophthalmic Solution (0.25% and 0.1%) Compared to Vehicle in Subjects with Dry Eye Disease

The purpose of this study was to determine if difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion is effective in reducing the ocular symptoms of dry eye disease, as measured by a global Visual Analog Scale (VAS) discomfort score.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, tolerability and safety of RX-10045 Ophthalmic Solution in patients with Dry Eye Disease.

The purpose of this clinical Study is Tisporin Eye Drops 0.05%(Cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) group and Restasis Eye Drops 0.05%(Cyclosporine ophthalmic suspension) group 12 weeks after treatment, each treatment group comparisons for evaluation of efficacy and safety in Moderate to Severe Dry Eye Disease. - Corneal staining test, Ocular surface disease index (OSDI), Tear break up time (TBUT), Non-anesthetic Schirmer test

This is a phase III double-masked, randomized, controlled study evaluating the efficacy of EBI-005 as compared to vehicle given as a topical ophthalmic solution in each eye to subjects with moderate to severe DED three times daily for 12 weeks. Approximately 730 subjects at up to approximately 50 centers in the United States will be screened, enrolled into the study.
