Active clinical trials for "Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca"

To assess the comfort preference of ISTA Tears vs Systane in patients with dry eye disease (DED)

The primary objective of this study is to compare the duration of subject reported comfortable contact lens daily wear time in subjects with a history and current complaint of CLDE during a 29-day treatment period of azithromycin ophthalmic solution, 1%, compared to rewetting drops

The purpose of this study is to describe a case series of patients with chronic dry eye submitted to partial punctual occlusion.

To compare bromfenac 0.09% and ketorolac 0.4% when used concomitantly with cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion 0.05% in improving patient comfort during the induction phase of treatment for chronic dry eye disease

This was a single-center, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 4-visit, CAE (Controlled Adverse Environment) study lasting approximately 4 weeks. Subjects were randomized to receive loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension, 0.5% or placebo (vehicle of loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension, 0.5%) and instructed to dose bilaterally either TID or QID according to randomization.

Cross-over comparison of lipid layer thickness and dry eye symptoms with two artificial tear formulations.

Patients with mild to moderate dry eye disease will be randomized to receive either NovaTears® or Hydrabak® eye drops as control.

This is a Phase 4, multicenter, single arm, 12 week study in subjects with dry eye disease, which is inadequately controlled by cyclosporine 0.05% ophthalmic emulsion.

Comparison of femtosecond small incision lenticule extraction (FS-SMILE) versus Femtosecond laser Insitu Keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) regarding dry eye disease (DED) and corneal sensitivity (CS) after those refractive surgeries.

Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) or Dry Eye Syndrome is a disease of the surface of the eye, tear film, and related ocular tissues. Millions of people suffer from one form of the disease or another and its prevalence increases with age. Dry Eye Syndrome sufferers experience a broad range of symptoms including discomfort, irritation, burning, itching, redness, pain, gritty feeling, foreign body sensation, blurred vision and ocular fatigue. Civamide is a TRPV-1 receptor modulator that causes the initial stimulation of neuropeptide release and subsequent desensitization to further stimulation of the trigeminovascular system. This provides a pharmacological rational for intranasal route of administration for disorders mediated by the trigeminal nerve or involving the cranial nerve. In nine clinical studies of Civamide Nasal Solution, over 50% of the nearly 300 patients who received Civamide via intranasal administration experienced lacrimation (tearing). This led to the hypothesis that Civamide Nasal Solution might be an appropriate treatment for Dry Eye Syndrome.
