Active clinical trials for "Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca"

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of intense pulsed light in treating dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction and make a comparison between the traditional treatment.

The study aims to test the safety of Repetitive Magnetic Stimulation (RMS) treatment for dry eye disease. Patients are asked to undergo a one-time treatment with Epitech Ocular Magnetic Stimulation Device on one eye in the first stage and both eyes sequentially in the second stage of the study. Changes are monitored for over a study period of 3 months.

The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of RGN-259 Ophthalmic Solutions to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.

Single-blind, randomised, single centre, 2-way crossover study to collect post-market clinical follow-up data on the CE-marked Lamelleye dry eye drops medical device.

In subjects with Dry Eye Syndrome: The primary objective of this study is to compare the safety and tolerability of TOP1630 Ophthalmic Solution to placebo. The secondary objectives are to compare the efficacy of TOP1630 Ophthalmic Solution to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye syndrome.

The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of BRM421 Ophthalmic Solution to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.

This is a pre-market, multicentre, double-blind, randomized, crossover, non-inferiority study comparing the efficacy of MAF-1217 and Cationorm® in adult patients with evaporative DED. The study population will be divided in 4 different subgroups, according to the different types of evaporative DED: Group A: high evaporative levels Group B: females in menopause, whether using hormonal integration or not Group C: presence of active obstructive Meibomian gland disease Group D: glaucomatous patients

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

The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of RGN-259 Ophthalmic Solution to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a highly prevalent ocular condition and induces a significant burden to the affected patients. Regardless of the underlying etiology, DED is associated with increased inflammation of the entire ocular surface including the adnexa, conjunctiva and cornea. As such, there is evidence from in vitro, animal and clinical studies that this inflammatory response of the ocular surface plays a pathophysiological key role in the development of DED. The Dry Eye Workshop 2007 (DEWS) therefore suggests the use of anti-inflammatory drugs such as corticosteroids, cyclosporine or others when topical lubricants alone are not sufficient. Recently, Softacort® eye drops containing 0.335% hydrocortisone have gained marketing authorization for the treatment of ocular surface inflammation. This formulation offers several advantages that make them potentially interesting for the treatment of DED. First, the formulation is preservative-free, which is of special importance in patients with DED, since it has been shown that preservatives are detrimental for the ocular surface. Further, hydrocortisone has the advantage that in comparison to other glucocorticoid derivatives, it features poor solubility. This means that corneal penetration is low, which is a desired effect in the treatment of ocular surface inflammation. Because of the poor penetration through thecornea, elevation of intraocular pressure and cataract formation, which are common side effect of corticosteroid treatment, have not been observed with Softacort® to date, also favoring the use of this agent in DED. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether treatment with Softacort® improves ocular surface inflammation as well as clinical signs and symptoms associated with DED in patients who are already taking topical lubricants for at least three months.
