About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficiency of Serum Tears Made With Genius PRP for Improving Signs and Symptoms in Dry Eye Disease (DED)

A randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficiency of serum tears made with Genius PRP for improving signs and symptoms in Dry Eye Disease (DED).

Single center, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Non-significant risk

Read the detailed description

Genius PRP is a class II medical device with an 510(k)FDA clearance for platelet and plasma separation for bone graft handling.

Subjects will sign the IC form within one week of being having been provided the form, at which time they will undergo the following assessments:

  • Routine ophthalmology tests (biomicroscopy, BCVA and IOP) including corneal fluorescein staining and lissamine green conjunctival staining
  • Measurement of tear break up time (TBUT) in both eyes. These values will be used as baseline.
  • Self-administration of the Eye Dryness Scale; 0-100 visual analogue scale. This score will be used as baseline.
  • Self-administration of Visual Analog Pain Scale
  • Eligible subjects will be randomized with right eye to receive PRP and left eye to receive vehicle eye drops in the same dosage.

Outcome measures will be assessed in both eyes.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03286166
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Study arm20 subjects will undergo one session of PRP in which 60 cc of blood is drawn and centrifuged into 3 months of autologous serum tears. • Subjects will utilize autologous tears twice daily in the study eye.
Control ArmSubjects in the control arm will receive study vehicle to be used twice daily in the left eye.

What is being measured

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

  1. The difference in the change of EDS score from baseline and the tear breakup time from baseline to follow-up, between study eyes in the study arm and study eyes in the control arm

    • Change in EDS questionnaire from baseline
    • Change in TBUT from baseline.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The improvement of signs and visual analog pain scale in the study group is larger than the improvement of signs in the control group

    • Change in corneal and/or conjunctival SPK
    • Visual analog pain scale

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dry Eye, run by Toyos Clinic 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?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2023. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The difference in the change of EDS score from baseline and the tear breakup time from baseline to follow-up, between study eyes in the study arm and study eyes in the control arm (time frame: 3 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 12 Dec 2023.
