Active clinical trials for "Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HE10 eye drop for the patients with moderate to severe dry eye syndrome.

With the potential to address evaporative dry eye, Liposic and Tears Naturale Forte have been developed in which phospholipid liposomes are delivered to the tear film via the surface of the closed eyelid. This study compare the effects of Liposic and Tears Naturale Forte application on the lipid and stability of the tear film in dry eye patients

Serum eye drops (SEDs) are used to treat patients with extreme dry eyes and other corneal defects. Serum is used in severe ophthalmic cases where conventional eye drops (artificial tears) have insufficient effect. The use of SEDs in dry eye patients usually has a rapid effect. Most patients claim the effect to be instantaneous, and all symptoms improve within 48 hours. There is evidence suggesting that substances in serum may help in the healing of epithelial defects, such as epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, fibronectin, and/or vitamin A. However, the precise serum factor responsible for alleviating the patient's complaints is currently not known. Commonly, autologous SEDs are used, but they are replaced more and more by allogeneic SEDs prepared from donor serum. Allogeneic SED are derived from healthy voluntary, non-remunerated male donors with blood group AB. The use of allogeneic SED could provide blood bank controlled quality, a safer product in larger quantities that is quickly available for each patient. No double-blind randomized trials are known to exist to detect a difference in result between the effect of allogeneic SED or autologous SED. This pilot study is intended to obtain insight in the ability of autologous and allogeneic SEDs to improve patient dry eye sensation. Our hypothesis is that autologous SEDs (in a 1:1 dilution with saline) result in an improvement of the patient dry eye sensation, while allogeneic SEDs (in a 1:1 dilution with saline) do not.

This study will evaluate the efficacy of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for the treatment of dry eye disease. One eye of the participant will be randomized to receive the IPL treatment.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension compared to vehicle (placebo) in subjects who have a documented clinical diagnosis of dry eye disease. The product will be studied over 14 days, with 1-2 drops instilled in each eye four times daily (QID).

The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate the benefits of using the Bruder Moist Heat Compress in contact lens wearers who report reduced comfortable wear time. This will be done by assessing for improvement in ocular oil gland function and comfortable contact lens wearing time after one month of daily warm compress application. The efficacy of the Bruder Moist Heat Compress applied once will be compared to twice daily application as well as compared to warm compress application using a wash cloth.

Subjects with moderate-to-severe Dry Eye by symptoms will be screened including history, ophthalmic examination to include the status of their ocular structure and function and evaluation of tear production. Blood will be blood drawn for complete blood count and chemistry panel. They will also have a urinalysis and pregnancy test in women of child-bearing potential. Subjects will have a two week "run-in" period in which they use artificial tears. If their Dry Eye signs and symptoms do not improve significantly, they will be enrolled and will receive study drug. Safety evaluation includes assessment of the structure and function of the eyes including retina examination and corrected visual acuity. Subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms, ST266 or "artificial tears" eye drops. The randomization scheme is 1:1 ST266:artificial tears. Subjects will self-administer their eye drops four times each day. Subjects will be seen in the office of the ophthalmologist/optometrist at baseline (week zero), one week, three weeks, six weeks and ten weeks. Eye examination will be done at each visit. The baseline eye tests and lab work will be repeated after the treatment phase of the study at the end of week six. Following 6 weeks of treatment, the subjects will be followed for 4 additional weeks.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy o fRefresh Optive® Gel Drops in patients with dry eye disease.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of XG-104 Ophthalmic Solution compared to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye after a 4 week Three Times a Day (TID) treatment period

This is a Phase 2/3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 different dose concentrations of OTX-101 dosed twice a day in both eyes for 84 days compared to placebo (vehicle) in patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye disease).
