About this study

The objective of this study is to evaluate the Raindrop® Near Vision Inlay for the improvement of near vision in presbyopic patients with treatments to optimize the ocular surface before corneal inlay surgery.

Read the detailed description

The surgical procedure includes a low dose, short duration mitomycin C (MMC) treatment on the exposed stromal bed of the non-dominant eye, before the unilateral implantation of the corneal inlay. This treatment is at a concentration of 0.2 mg/mL (0.02%) applied for 10 to 30 seconds on the stromal bed as well as the stromal side of the corneal flap or pocket. In the third month after surgical procedure, a one-drop a day of low dose steroid (initiated in the second month postoperative) will be continued for the duration of the 24-month follow-up period to maintain corneal health. Only a portion of patients will receive treatments to optimize the ocular surface preoperatively, and their clinical outcomes will be statistically compared against the portion not receiving the preoperative optimization.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Mitomycin CDrug

    The surgical procedure includes a low dose, short duration mitomycin C (MMC) treatment on the exposed stromal bed of the non-dominant eye, before the unilateral implantation of the corneal inlay. This treatment is at a concentration of 0.2 mg/mL (0.02%) applied for 10 to 30 seconds on the stromal bed as well as the stromal side of the corneal flap or pocket.

  • Raindrop Near Vision InlayDevice

    The surgical procedure includes the unilateral implantation of the Raindrop Near Vision Inlay in the non-dominante eye for the improvement of uncorrected near vision.

Study groups in NCT03126877
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Optimized Ocular SurfaceExperimentalFor patients enrolled into the treatment group for preoperative optimization of the ocular surface, utilize the LipiFlow® vectored thermal pulsating eyepieces (Activators) to gently apply heat and massage, thus evacuating the Meibomian glands. Omega-3 vitamin supplements should also be provided, initiated and dosed according to standard clinical practice, to maximize ocular surface health.
Receives: Drug: Mitomycin C; Device: Raindrop Near Vision Inlay
Non-Optimized Ocular SurfaceActive comparatorPatients enrolled into the non-treatment group will not be optimized preoperatively for ocular surface health. No LipiFlow® Activators and no Omega-3 vitamin supplements will be provided, initiated, nor dosed.
Receives: Drug: Mitomycin C; Device: Raindrop Near Vision Inlay

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Uncorrected Visual Acuity

    After the inlay procedure, patients will attain functional near visual acuity in the inlay eye and functional distance acuity binocularly.

    Measured: 24 Months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence of Corneal Reaction

    Patients treated with low dose, short duration MMC intraoperatively, then an extended low dose steroid regimen will have minimal levels of corneal reaction.

    Measured: 24 Months

  2. Ocular Surface Health (Preoperative Optimization)

    Patients with treatments to optimize the ocular surface before corneal inlay surgery will maintain a healthy tear breakup time and normal OSDI questionnaire responses.

    Measured: 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Mitomycin C and Raindrop Near Vision Inlay in people with Presbyopia, run by Whitten Laser Eye at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shilpa D Rose, MD ((301) 461-4372, shilpadrose@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Uncorrected Visual Acuity (time frame: 24 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jul 2017.
