Active clinical trials for "Keratoconjunctivitis"

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. 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. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC or hypromellose) is a synthetic modification of the natural polymer, cellulose. It has been widely used in in ophthalmologic formulations such as eye drops and gels due to its solubility in water, biocompatibility, transparency and rheological properties. Eye drops containing HPMC are conventionally used to treat tear film disturbances including dry eye symptoms. 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 "Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-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 "HPMC-based eyedrops" according to the Instructions for Use (IFU). "HPMC-based eyedrops" medical devices are ophthalmic solutions containing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as key ingredient, a polymer able to relief eye discomfort thanks to its moisturizing, lubricating and muco-mimetic properties. HPMC can stabilize the tear film on the ocular surface by creating a protective, transparent and viscoelastic shield. Each subject, after signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF), will enter the screening and baseline phase (the 2 visits will coincide) during which baseline procedures will be completed. At baseline visit (V0), only one of the below reported "HPMC-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 purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Tavilermide Ophthalmic Solution compared with Placebo Ophthalmic Solution in treating the signs and symptoms of dry eye.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Tavilermide Ophthalmic Solution compared with Placebo Ophthalmic Solution in treating the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.

This is a randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled study of the safety and efficacy of OTX-101 (0.09% cyclosporine nanomicellar solution) in the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca to be conducted at approximately 50 sites.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether SkQ1 ophthalmic solutions are safe and effective compared to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye syndrome.

Hypothesis: Fluorometholone (FML) 0.1% eyedrops topically applied 4 times a day for 22 days is more efficient than artificial tears (Liquifilm) in dry eye disease (DED) and ameliorates the worsening of the disease after exposure to an adverse controlled environment.

A six-month clinical research trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational medication for the treatment of dry eye syndrome in patients that have been diagnosed with moderate to severe dry eye syndrome, an autoimmune disorder AND/OR females 65 years of age or older.

Purpose: To compare efficiency and tolerance between topical 0.5% cyclosporine A and fluorometholone in patients with subepithelial corneal infiltrates (SEIs). Methods : A prospective double-blind randomized study was conducted involving 72 eyes, 38 treated with topical fluorometholone and 34 eyes treated with cyclosporine A 0.5% eyedrops, having SEIs. Treatment was considered successful if there was reduction of SEIs and improvement in visual acuity (two snellen lines). Tolerance was mainly evaluated by Schirmer test, conjunctival hyperemia and burning sensation upon eyedrops instillation.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of OPTIVE® MD for ocular surface integrity in symptomatic dry eye condition in absence of obvious eye-lid inflammation.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of SAR 1118 Ophthalmic Solution (5.0%) compared to placebo in the treatment of Dry Eye. The safety and tolerability of SAR 1118 Ophthalmic Solution (5.0%) compared to placebo in subjects with dry eye when administered BID for 12 weeks will also be evaluated.
