Active clinical trials for "Keratoconjunctivitis"

The study was a double-blind, parallel study to compare efficacy of 0.1% tacrolimus ophthalmic ointment vs 2% cyclosporine eye drops in children with vernal keratoconjunctivitis. The duration of the blinded period was 8 weeks followed with 4 weeks of open-period of tacrolimus ointment. The hypothesis was that tacrolimus was as effective as cyclosporine for the treatment of this condition.

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of pimecrolimus (0.3% and 1%) ophthalmic suspension in a moderate to severe population of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS, dry eye syndrome) patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine the potential safety and effectiveness of rebamipide eye drops, an investigational eye drop being developed for the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye).

Dry eye disease (DED), also called keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common ocular condition characterized by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface. The typical symptoms of DED include irritation, discomfort, blurred or fluctuating vision. Over the counter (OTC) artificial tears are typically the first line of dry eye treatment; they are meant to supplement the tears that cover the eye's surface. OTC products mimic the different layers of the tear film in order to maintain ocular hydration. Distilled waters of natural herbs such as Green Tea, Calendula, Chamomile, Hamamelis and Euphrasia are known for their soothing and refreshing properties. Thanks to the combined action of these natural elements, distilled waters-based eyedrops are particularly indicated to relieve eye dryness, irritation and redness of the eyes' mucosa caused by atmospheric agents, environmental factors, and/or use of contact lenses. "Distilled waters-based eyedrops" medical devices are ophthalmic solutions containing distilled waters able to relieve eye discomfort thanks to their soothing and refreshing action. For these reasons, an interventional, non-comparative, single-center Post Marketing Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study was planned to evaluate the performance and safety of "Distilled waters-based eyedrops" used as intended to relieve dry eye symptoms. The objectives of the PMCF study are confirmation of the performance, collection of additional safety data regarding expected adverse events and detection of potential unexpected adverse events associated with use of "Distilled waters-based eyedrops" according to the IFU. Each subject, after signing the Informed Consent Form, will enter the screening and baseline phase (the 2 visits will coincide) during which baseline procedures will be completed. At baseline visit (V0), one of the "Distilled waters-based eyedrops" products will be administered to the enrolled subject. The patient will perform 2 on site visits (V0 and V2/EOS). To monitor the safety, 1 phone contact is planned (V1) to check for potential adverse events and concomitant medications intake. The first administration and the intervals at which the treatment should be repeated, to be done as per Investigator judgment and according to the IFU, depend on various factors regarding the physiology of the patients (e.g. type of eye-tear film, anatomy, age), their lifestyle (e.g. use of computer, wearing of contact lenses).

The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of two different dosing regimen of NOVA22007 (1mg/ml ciclosporin/cyclosporine) eye drops, emulsion versus placebo (vehicle of the formulation) administered four times a day in patients with severe vernal keratoconjunctivitis after 4 months of treatment.

This study will evaluate the efficacy of Retaine™ ophthalmic emulsion in treating the signs and symptoms of dry eye syndrome.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of OPTIVE FUSION™ compared to VISMED® Multi for the management of dry eye.

The investigators are conducting this study because the patient have an eye infection which is called adenoviral conjunctivitis, and is the most common cause of "pink eye". There is currently no treatment for this condition. However, the researchers associated with this study want to understand if using a product called Zirgan, which is a topical ointment that is already FDA-approved for other types of eye infections, will help with the type of infection that the patient currently have. Zirgan is not FDA-approved to treat your type of eye infection. Your participation in this study is expected to last 21 days but the patient will only apply the topical ointment for 14 of those days. During the study, the patient will be asked to come into this clinic 8 times. The purpose of this study is to determine whether topical Zirgan can reduce days that the patient suffers from the eye infection, and also to see if it can prevent the infection from spreading to your second eye and to also see if it can prevent the spreading of the infection to people that the patient come in close contact with. Zirgan will be compared to Genteal Gel in this trial. Genteal Gel is a non-prescription eye lubricant gel and is commonly used for treatment of dry eye. The patient will be asked to apply a topical ointment (either Zirgan or Genteal gel 5 times a day for the first 7 days and then 3 times a day for the following 7 days. The patient will be asked to return to the clinic 21 days after the patient starts the study for a final check-up. It is planned that about 80 people with Adenovirus Conjunctivitis will be enrolled in this study between 8-12 sites across the United States. The patient will be assigned to either Zirgan or Genteal gel by chance which is similar to flipping a coin. The study groups will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio. Neither the patient nor the study doctor or study staff will be able to pick which study group The patient is in. The patient will not know and the study doctor or study staff will not know which study group the patient is in. The study doctor or study staff can find out if it is necessary to know for your health. If this happens, the study doctor or study staff may not be able to tell the patient which study group the patient was in until everyone finishes the study.

This is a safety extension enrolling subjects participating in Study OTX-101-2016-001 (NCT02688556)

The purpose of the study is to evaluate how treatment with Intra-Nasal Mechanical Stimulation (INMEST) in the nasal cavity in patients with Keratoconjunctivitis sicca can relieve these symtoms.
