Active clinical trials for "Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca"

A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled, Double-Masked Trial of NOVA22007 (Ciclosporin 0.1%) Ophthalmic Cationic Emulsion versus Vehicle in Patients with Moderate to Severe Dry Eye Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to determine whether artificial tears are safe and effective in the treatment of Dry Eye Syndrome.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical utility, safety and effectiveness of the Manual Mini System compared to standardized warm compress therapy for application of controlled, localized heat therapy in adult patients with chronic cystic conditions of the eyelids, including meibomian gland dysfunction, also known as evaporative dry eye or lipid deficiency dry eye, and chalazia.

The goal of this research is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of Systane® versus Optive™ on aqueous tear film stability in patients with a diagnosis of Dry Eye Syndrome and to determine the possible application for this product in the future. Systane® is marketed as over-the-counter tear lubricating therapy in the United States under the FDA monograph.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of topical cyclosporine ophthalmic solution 0.05% (Restasis, Allergan) on the signs and symptoms of dry eye in patients undergoing LASIK or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).

To evaluate tear film stability of a market lubricant therapeutic eye drop versus saline when using Evaporometry and Interferometry in patients with a diagnosis of Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS). The purpose of this research is to evaluate evaporative parameters and tear film quality when using Systane lubricating eye drops versus saline in the eyes of dry eye patients at pre-instillation and at 30 and 60 minutes post instillation of drop(s).

The efficacy, safety and acceptability of a new artificial tear in subjects with dry eye will be compared to a currently-available artificial tear

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of rhNGF eye drops at 20 μg/ml concentration administered two or three times daily for 4 weeks in patients with moderate to severe dry eye.

The objective of the study is to assess the safety, efficacy, optimum dosage, and dosing regimen of K-161 in adult subjects with moderate to severe dry eye disease.

Dry eye disease is a very frequent pathology that importantly affects the quality of life of patients; in spite of the common use of eye lubricants to ameliorate symptoms, there is still a large number of patients who do not present improvement of the disease or they worsen. Although its etiology is varied, the imbalance of the immune system plays a substantial role in the development of dry eye disease. Rapamycin or sirolimus is an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory drug that has an enormous potential in ocular surface pathologies such as dry eye disease. The aim of the present study is to determine the effectiveness and security of subconjunctival application of a new formulated drug of liposomal sirolimus in patients with moderate and severe dry eye disease. This is a randomized placebo-controlled double blind clinical trial. Patients presenting data of moderate or severe dry eye disease will be randomized into two groups. One group will receive additional to the conventional treatment, subconjunctival injections of liposomal sirolimus; meanwhile the other group will receive subconjunctival placebo injections. After intervention the effectiveness and the security of the liposomal sirolimus will be evaluated.
