About this study

Dry eyes is multi-factorial disease which inflammation play etiological role. Diacerein is drug which has anti-inflammatory effect by antagonist Interleukin-1, decrease Interleukin-1 receptor, increase Interleukin-1 Receptor antagonist. This observational study enrolled participants who going to take diacerein for osteoarthritis, measure corneal staining score, Ocular surface disease index score, Tear Osmolarity, Tear break up time, Schirmer 1 test, Interleukin-1 Receptor antagonist, Interleukin-1 alpha, Interleukin-1 beta level in tear at the time of enrollment and after 2 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Corneal staining score change from baseline at 2 months

    Stain Cornea with Fluorescine, count and score staining at the cornea according to National eye institute : score 0-15 (0=no staining)

    Measured: At the time of enrollment and 2 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Ocular surface disease index score

    Ocular Surface Disease Index : 0-100 (0=no any symptom)

    Measured: At the time of enrollment and 2 months

  2. Tear Osmolarity

    Use Tearlab to measure tear osmolarity

    Measured: At the time of enrollment and 2 months

  3. Tear break up time

    Stain Cornea with Fluorescine, wait until tear film break, record time that tear break

    Measured: At the time of enrollment and 2 months

  4. Schirmer 1 test

    place Schirmer strip at the fornix without anesthesia, wait for 5 min, record tear distance

    Measured: At the time of enrollment and 2 months

  5. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, Interleukin-1 alpha, Interleukin-1 beta level in tear

    Extract tear from Schirmer strip and use Bioplex for cytokine measurement of Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist(picogram/ml), Interleukin-1 alpha(picogram/ml), Interleukin-1 beta(picogram/ml)

    Measured: At the time of enrollment and 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ocular Surface Disease and Osteoarthritis, run by Chulalongkorn University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. 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?

Corneal staining score change from baseline at 2 months (time frame: At the time of enrollment and 2 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 10 Aug 2021.
