  • Ages 21 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Twenty-one (21) to 80 years of age
  • Baseline Ocular Surface Disease Index score of at least 13 with no more than 3 responses of "not applicable" for each eye individually
  • In the study eye, a baseline Schirmer test with anesthetic of ≤ 10 mm/5 minute
  • Literate, able to speak English and able to complete the questionnaire independently
  • Willing to sign the informed consent and deemed capable of complying with the requirements of the study protocol.

Who cannot join

  • Use of ophthalmic cyclosporine or lifitegrast within 30 days prior to Day 0.
  • History of surgical punctal occlusion (e.g., cautery), canalicular infection or canalicular surgery.
  • Corneal transplant in either eye
  • Ocular surgery (such as cataract surgery or LASIK) in either eye within six months of the Baseline Visit.
  • A systemic condition or disease not stabilized or judged by the investigator to be incompatible with participation in the study (e.g. current systemic infection, uncontrolled autoimmune disease, uncontrolled immunodeficiency disease).
  • The history or presence of any ocular disorder or condition in either eye that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the interpretation of the study results (e.g., significant corneal or conjunctival scarring, pterygium or nodular pinguecula; current ocular infection (except mild blepharitis), conjunctivitis or inflammation not associated with dry eye; anterior (epithelial) basement membrane corneal dystrophy or other clinically significant corneal dystrophy or degeneration; history of ocular herpetic infection; evidence of keratoconus; lid or lacrimal cancer.

  • Active severe systemic allergy, seasonal allergies, rhinitis or sinusitis requiring treatment (i.e. antihistamines, decongestants, oral or aerosol steroids).
  • Use of steroids, including administration by systemic, inhaled or topical ocular routes (dermatologic steroids not applied to the eyelids are allowed).
  • Participation in a clinical trial during the past 30 days

What participants receive

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

  • Restylane DefyneDevice

    Restylane is a gel of hyaluronic acid generated by Streptococcus species of bacteria, chemically crosslinked with BDDE, stabilized and suspended in phosphate buffered saline at pH=7 and concentration of 20 mg/mL

Restylane Defyne receiverExperimentalParticipants will receive Restyane Defyne injected into punctum of one eye.
Receives: Device: Restylane Defyne

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluating change in Schirmer score from baseline

    Maximum length of tears absorbed on test strips recorded.

    Measured: 42 days after screening visit

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluating change in Ocular Surface Disease index (OSDI) score from baseline

    Participants answer 12 question questionnaire. Scores from section I,II, and III

    Measured: 42 days after screening visit

  2. Evaluating change in corneal staining score from baseline.

    1.0mg sodium fluorescein strips on lower eye lids for one minute. 5 corneal regions graded using cobalt filter to maximized view of fluorescence.

    Measured: 42 days after screening visit

  3. Evaluating Tear break-up time (TBUT) from baseline.

    Performed by Keratograph 5M per manufacturer's directions.

    Measured: 42 days after screening visit

  4. Evaluating tear meniscus height from baseline.

    Performed by Keratograph 5M per manufacturer's directions.

    Measured: 42 days after screening visit.

Model description
Study is set as a single-arm, randomized, single-masked to evaluate Restylane Defyne for canalicular occlusion in participants with mild to moderate dry eye disease. Each participant will have a screening visit, it is then participants will be provided with informed consent form to review and ask questions before written informed consent is obtained. Screening visit occurs 30 days prior to 42 days and will be seen for follow-up exams at 3 , 14 and 42 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Restylane Defyne in people with Mild to Moderate Dry Eye Disease, run by John C Meyer, MD 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 5 inclusion and 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2018. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Evaluating change in Schirmer score from baseline (time frame: 42 days after screening visit). 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 10 Dec 2018.
