Active clinical trials for "Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca"

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a carboxymethylcellulose based eye drop formulation compared with carboxymethylcellulose based preservative-free lubricant eye drops (OPTIVE™) in subjects with dry eye disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether, in people with dry eye syndrome, over the counter artificial tears and the prescription eye drop, dexamethasone, change or effect the eyes response to a low humidity environment. It is known that irritation from dry eye can be improved by over the counter artificial tears because they wet and lubricate the eyes. The prescription eye drop, dexamethasone, can also improve eye irritation by decreasing the inflammation that develops in dry eye. Thus, the investigators hypothesize that the use of these conventional dry eye treatments will improve the eyes' response to a low humidity environment.

Objectives: Primary To determine the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of RU-101 for 4 weeks in patients with severe dry eye Secondary To explore the efficacy of RU-101 To explore optimal endpoints for future studies

Aqueous deficiency dry eye is mainly caused by Sjogren syndrome (SS), an autoimmune, chronic, inflammatory and systemic disease which affects most commonly the lacrimal and salivary glands.The ocular treatment is focused in increasing lubrification and decreasing inflammation with topical autologous serum, topical immunosuppressive agents and corticotherapy. Use of topical immunosuppressants has increased in recent years because the topical corticotherapy leads to ocular complications. The most used immunosuppressant is cyclosporine. Tacrolimus , another immunosuppressant, has been used in treatment of immune and inflammatory ocular diseases.This study describes a prospective controlled double-blinded randomized study of the clinical outcome of SS dry eyes patients treated with 0.03% tacrolimus eye drops. As secondary purposes, outcome of dry eye symptoms and any ocular symptoms of the eye drops were also questioned to the patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether acupuncture is more effective than artificial tear drop in the treatment of dry eye.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if DE-101 ophthalmic suspension will safely and effectively improve signs and or symptoms of dry eye disease.

Multicentre, Double blind, Randomized, Comparative Study(comparing N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamic acid(NAAGA) in Abak preservative free device versus SALINE in Abak preservative free device. Evaluation of the effects and safety of NAABAK® through inflammation markers and symptoms in patients with allergic conjunctivitis and dry eye syndrome after 3 months treatment. The patients will attend 4 visits.

Safety and efficacy of DE-089 ophthalmic solution in patients with dry eye will be evaluated in comparison with sodium hyaluronate ophthalmic solution.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of SI-614 solution compared with placebo solution in treating patients with dry eye

Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lifitegrast in subjects with dry eye disease and a recent history of artificial tear use.
