About this study

Official title: Randomized Self-Controlled Treatment With an Intracanalicular Dexamethasone Insert Compared to Topical Over the Counter Lubrication Therapy in Patients With Bilateral Ocular Surface Disease

To determine treatment and imaging outcomes in bilateral ocular surface disease management with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4 mg) insert compared to standard topical over-the-counter artificial tears lubrication management

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate the benefit of treatment with a physician administered intracanalicular dexamethasone insert and patient administered artificial tears prn compared to patient administered artificial tears prn (control) in patients with bilateral ocular surface dry eye disease. The study is a self-controlled design and includes multiple objective, measureable, and quantifiable endpoints to best determine an objective response to treatment in patient eyes randomized to either the insert plus prn artificial tears or artificial tears prn control. To aid in ensuring best possible masking, DEXTENZA is best visualized with blue light and yellow filter and therefore visualization will not be assessed until final visit following all measures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine effect of dexamethasone insert over artificial tears

    To determine the effect of dexamethasone insert plus over-the-counter artificial tears prn compared to over the counter artificial tears prn from Baseline at Week 2 (at 8 am, 12 pm and 4 pm) as measured by iTrace and IOL Master 700: and comfort of dry eyes using the OSDI scale and reading scores

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. OSDI scores

    comfort of dry eyes using the OSDI scale and reading scores, scores are from the SPEED questionnaire. scale from 0-3 0-Never 1- Sometime 2-Often 3-Constant for the symptoms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dextenza 0.4Mg Intracanalicular Insert and Over the counter Artificial tears in people with Dry Eye Syndromes, run by The Eye Centers of Racine and Kenosha 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2024. 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?

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?

Determine effect of dexamethasone insert over artificial tears (time frame: 1 month). 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 29 Nov 2024.
