Official title: Evaluation of Intraoperative Use of Dexycu on the Signs and Symptoms of Dry Eye

To compare the signs and symptoms of dry eye after cataract surgery between subjects randomized to receive intraoperative dexamethasone in addition to the use of a standard topical post-op treatment regimen.

Read the detailed description

Forty patients requiring cataract surgery will be randomized to treatment of post-operative inflammation with a single intraoperative dexamethasone injection plus a standard course of topical ophthalmic corticosteroid drops or the standard treatment alone. Dry eye testing will be administered at baseline, 1 week and 3 weeks following surgery.

Being tested
dexamethasone intraocular suspension, 9%, Prednisolone Acetate 1% Oph Susp
Medical subject headings
Dry Eye Syndromes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing dexamethasone intraocular suspension, 9% and Prednisolone Acetate 1% Oph Susp in people with Dry Eye Syndromes, run by SR Cornea Consultants 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 1 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 22 Nov 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Jan 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Evaluation of Intraoperative Use of Dexycu on Tear Film Osmolarity at 3 Weeks Postoperatively (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 22 Nov 2023.
