Trial summary

Dry eye disease (DED) is an extremely common disease whose meibomian gland dysfunction is the main etiology. Polychromatic intense pulsed light (IPL) is a promising new therapeutic alternative but few clinical data have been published. A new IPL device has recently been marketed: LACRYSTIM (QUANTEL, France). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Intense Pulsed Light in Meibomian Gland Dysfunctions: Retrospective Study

Dry eye disease (DED) is an extremely common disease whose meibomian gland dysfunction is the main etiology.

Polychromatic intense pulsed light (IPL) is a promising new therapeutic alternative but few clinical data have been published.

A new IPL device has recently been marketed: LACRYSTIM (QUANTEL, France). The investigators have been using it in our clinical practice since June 2019.

The investigators present a retrospective study on our first clinical results.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lacrydiag in current clinical practice

    The LacryDiag ocular surface analyzer is used for the diagnosis of dry eyes.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. collection of adverse events

    -data concerning the safety: presence or absence of adverse events during treatment or afterwards (burns, tingling, redness of skin ...)

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire

    measured in current clinical practice. This 12-item questionnaire assesses dry eye symptoms and the effects it has on vision-related function in the past week of the patient's life. The questionnaire has 3 subscales: ocular symptoms, vision-related function, and environmental triggers.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Slit lamp Photography x16 and x25

    in current clinical practice

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Oxford Score

    measured in current clinical practice. The Oxford score is used to assess epithelial damage to the cornea and conjunctiva.

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Break-up time Test

    measured in current clinical practice. The measurement of the tear film rupture time determines the stability of the tear film, i.e. the degree of humidification of the eyes.

    Measured: 6 months

  6. Schirmer Test

    measured in current clinical practice. Determination of the quantity of tears produced.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dry Eye Syndromes and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 1 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 France. 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?

Lacrydiag in current clinical practice (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04147962, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 May 2022.
