Active clinical trials for "Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca"

This is a Phase 1b, multi-center, double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the safety and biological activity of two doses of EBI-005 ophthalmic solution versus placebo in subjects with moderate to severe Dry Eye Syndrome. Approximately 72 subjects will be enrolled and randomized in this study at up to 9 centers located in the United States (US). Subjects will be enrolled in two groups or cohorts. The first enrollment group will consist of 33 subjects.

This study was to evaluate the healing action on the eye surface of the artificial tear Systane® ULTRA as compared to two other eyedrops: Maxidex and Saline solution. Dry eye disease leads to inflammation of the eye surface and treating dry eyes with artificial tears may lead to reduction in this inflammation and improvement of symptoms and signs.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of SYSTANE® BALANCE and SYSTANE® Gel to improve comfort in subjects with dry eyes.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of R348 eye drops in patients with dry eye disease.

The objectives of the investigation will be to assess the effect of the repeated usage of a new eye drop on the tear film characteristics of silicone hydrogel contact lens wearers with contact lens related comfort problems and to quantify any potential benefit.

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of T2750 and Vismed® in the treatment of moderate to severe Dry Eye Syndrome

This clinical trial is to investigate whether nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drops have therapeutic effect on moderate to severe dry eye patients.And compare the efficacy of the two nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drops with topical corticosteroids.

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), also called Graves' ophthalmopathy or thyroid eye disease, is a common orbital disease in adults. Patients with TAO, especially in its active phase, often complain about symptoms of ocular surface discomfort, including excess tearing, gritty sensation, increased sensitivity to light and foreign-body sensation, which are similar to inflammatory ocular surface disorders such as dry-eye syndrome (DES). Incomplete blink, increased proptosis and greater palpebral fissure width in TAO accelerates tear evaporation, which increases the tear fluid's osmolarity, and results in ocular surface damage. The administration of intravenous glucocorticoids can be an effective treatment for TAO. The rationale of the present study is to assess the effect of intravenously administered glucocorticoids on the signs of DES in patients with TAO with new methods such as measurement of tear film thickness, tear film osmolarity and scattering of the tear film and well established methods for assessment of the severity of DES. Additionally, impression cytology and determination of tear cytokines/chemokines will be performed to obtain information about inflammatory processes on the ocular surface.

This study will test that hypothesis that topical administration of the FDA approved immunomodulatory agent cyclosporin A emulsion will minimize irritation and ocular surface disease that results from a short term low humidity environmental stress

Thymosin Beta 4 (Tβ4) is a synthetic copy of the naturally-occurring 43-amino acid peptide that is found in a variety of tissues. Tβ4 promotes/accelerates wound repair in dermal, ocular, and cardiac animal models. Two recent pre-clinical evaluations have demonstrated that Tβ4 promotes corneal ocular surface defects healing in animal models of dry eye. RGN-259 (formulation of Tβ4 ophthalmic solution) mechanism of action offers potential to be a product that meets a major unmet medical need in patients with dry eye.
