About this study

Official title: Randomized, Open Label, Prospective Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Dextenza Compared to Topical Fluorometholone in Patients With Ocular Rosacea (ROSE Study)

To determine patient preference and treatment outcomes with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4mg) insert compared to a standard steroid drop regimen in the contralateral eye for the treatment of ocular rosacea.

Read the detailed description

Prospective Open-label Interventional Study Randomized, self-controlled design in which one eye receives Dextenza (Group A) intracanalicular insert and the contralateral eye receives topical fluorometholone 0.1% BID (Group B) for 2 weeks then once daily for 2 weeks for the treatment of ocular rosacea. All patients will be placed on oral doxycycline 100mg BID for one month and tapered to a maintenance dose of 100mg once daily for the remainder of the study. Patient evaluations will be performed at Screening/Baseline, Insertion Day, Month 1 and Month 2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in OSDI

    As measured by OSDI questionnaire

    Measured: Accessed at all time points (Day -30 - day -1, week 4, week 8)

  2. Patient preference in treatment therapy

    As measured by Adapted COMTOL questionnaire

    Measured: Accessed at Week 4

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in tear breakup time

    As measured by Fluoroscein (Bioglo strip moistened with saline) placed in the inferior fornix of each eye. A cobalt blue light beam will be used to count the number of seconds between the last blink and the appearance of a dry spot or break in tear film.

    Measured: Accessed at all time points (Day -30 - day -1, week 4, week 8)

  2. Change in Expression of Gland Scale

    As measured by digitally compressing the lower and upper lids and quantified on a 4-point scale:

    (0- all five glands, 1 - three to four glands, 2 - one to two glands, 3 - zero glands).

    The values will be averaged for each eye.

    Measured: Accessed at all time points (Day -30 - day -1, week 4, week 8)

  3. Change in corneal staining

    As measured by the NEI/Industry Grading system

    Measured: Accessed at all time points (Day -30 - day -1, week 4, week 8)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dextenza 0.4Mg Ophthalmic Insert and Fluoromethalone .01% in people with Ocular Rosacea, run by Eye Associates of Central Texas.

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 10 inclusion and 20 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 18 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Change in OSDI (time frame: Accessed at all time points (Day -30 - day -1, week 4, week 8)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Jun 2023.
