Active clinical trials for "Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the long-term safety and efficacy of KCT-0809 in dry eye patients with Sjögren's syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the superiority of KCT-0809 to placebo, and to evaluate safety in dry eye patients with Sjögren's syndrome

Dry eye syndrome is a highly prevalent ocular disease with an increasing incidence in the elderly population. Topically administered lubricants are the basis for treatment of this disease. However, exact information about the tear film thickness and the corneal residence time of topical lubricants is still sparse, therefore no ideal treatment regimen has been found. Recently a new method for assessment of tear film thickness based on ultra high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become available. The aim of the present study is to assess tear film thickness and corneal residence time of three different formulations of topical lubricants, in particular Thealoz Duo® Eye Drops, Hylo® Gel Eye Drops and Systane® Gel Eye Drops in patients with moderate to severe dry eye disease. In addition, standard tests for dry eye syndrome, such as the ocular surface disease index (OSDI©), Schirmer I test and determination of tear break up time (BUT) will be performed.

Dry eye syndrome is a highly prevalent ocular disease with an increasing incidence in the elderly population. Topically administered lubricants are the basis for treatment of this disease. Relief of symptoms in patients with moderate to severe dry eye disease is usually reached by the use of artificial tears during the day. Nighttime relief is often achieved by substances known to be more adhesive to the ocular surface, such as gels.

However, exact information about influence on tear film thickness and corneal residence time of topical lubricants is still sparse, therefore no ideal treatment regimen has been found. Recently a new method for assessment of tear film thickness based on ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become available. The aim of the present study is to assess the influence on tear film thickness of three different formulations of topical lubricants, in particular Thealoz Duo® Eye Drops, Optive® Eye Drops and Systane Ultra® Eye Drops in patients with moderate to severe dry eye disease. In addition, standard tests for dry eye syndrome, such as the ocular surface disease index (OSDI©), Schirmer I test, corneal fluorescein staining and determination of tear break up time (BUT) will be performed to compare the product effects.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic activity of ADX-102 Ophthalmic Solutions and ADX-102 Ophthalmic Lipid Solution in subjects with dry eye syndrome.

The prevalence and incidence of dry eye syndrome (DES) is constantly increasing. Several therapeutic strategies have been proposed, but still no ideal regimen has been found. Recently, a new method for the non- invasive measurement of tear film thickness (TFT) based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been developed. It has been shown in previous studies that TFT correlates well with objective signs as well as with subjective symptoms of DES. In the present study the effects of three different topical lubricants (Neovis total multi®, Vismed multi® and Hydrabak® eye drops) on tear film thickness in patients with moderate to severe DES will be investigated using this device. Tear film thickness will be measured at baseline and at defined time points after single instillation. The course of tear film thickness during this study day will provide information about the corneal residency time of the three different eye drops. Patients with moderate to severe DES will be randomized to receive either Neovis total multi®, Vismed multi® or Hydrabak® eye drops. Assessment of lipid layer thickness of the tear film will be performed before and at pre-specified time points after instillation as secondary outcome. Other clinical measures for DES such as determination of tear film break up time (TFBUT), corneal fluorescein staining, Schirmer I test and subjective assessments will also be performed.

Prospective controlled pilot study to compare the outcome of ProKera® (PK) and conventional treatment in patients with moderate to severe Dry Eye Disease (DED)

The objectives of this study are: To compare the change in levels of tear proteins and inflammatory mediators pre and post administration between the intranasal and extranasal applications To compare the goblet cell count following application between the intranasal and extranasal applications To compare fluorescein tear clearance with the application of the device intranasally and extranasally applications
