About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Treatment With an Intracanalicular Dexamethasone (0.4mg) Ophthalmic Insert in the Operating Room Following Cataract Surgery/Intraocular Lens Implant (IOL) Compared to Insertion 1-day Post-op - The SITE Study

To assess the safety and effectiveness of treatment with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4mg) insert in the operating room following cataract surgery/intraocular lens implant (IOL) compared to insertion 1-day post-op.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, controlled study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treatment with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4mg) insert in the operating room following cataract surgery/intraocular lens implant (IOL) compared to insertion 1-day post-op.

There will be approximately 50 eyes with two groups:

Group 1 (up to 10 eyes) will receive the insert in the lower punctum on the day of surgery in the OR.

Group 2 (up to 40 eyes) will receive the insert in the lower punctum on the day after surgery in the HOPD.

Each subject's participation is expected to last for approximately 1 month and will be required to complete five scheduled visits over the course of the study period: Baseline (Screening Visit), Operative Visit/Insertion Day (Day 0), Day 1, Day 7 and Day 30.

What is being measured

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

  1. Anterior Chamber Cells

    As measured by summed ocular inflammation score (0-4 with 4 meaning a worse outcome)

    Measured: Assessed on Day 7

  2. Ocular Pain

    As measured by ocular pain assessment numerical grading scale (0-10 with 10 meaning a worse outcome)

    Measured: Assessed on Day 7

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Mean change in BCVA

    As measured by snellen VA

    Measured: Assessed on Day -1, Day 7, Day 30

  2. Percentage with complete absence of pain

    As measured by ocular pain assessment numerical grading scale (0-10 with 10 meaning a worse outcome)

    Measured: Assessed on Day -1, Day 1, Day 7, Day 30

  3. Percentage with complete absence of cell

    As measured by summed ocular inflammation score (0-4 with 4 meaning a worse outcome)

    Measured: Assessed on Day -1, Day 1, Day 7, Day 30

  4. Physician ease of insertion and visualization

    As measured by physician questionnaire

    Measured: Assessed on Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexamethasone 0.4 MG [Dextenza] in people with Cataract, run by Grene Vision Group at 2 sites 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 6 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Anterior Chamber Cells (time frame: Assessed on Day 7). 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 6 Jul 2023.
