About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled, Masked (Reading Center) Prospective Study of the Effectiveness and Safety of the Ocular Therapeutix Dextenza 0.4 mg for the Treatment of Post-op. Inflammation and Pain in PRK

To determine patient preference and treatment outcomes with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4mg) insert compared to standard steroid drop regimen in the contralateral eye following bilateral PRK surgery.

Read the detailed description

Prospective Open-label Interventional Study Randomized, self-controlled design in which one eye (Group A) receives Dextenza and the second eye (Group B) receives prednisolone acetate 1% QID 1 week, BID 1 week following bilateral PRK surgery. All eyes will receive topical moxifloxacin QID for one week. Moxifloxacin in used post-op regardless of the research. Post-operative evaluations to be performed on Day 3 and Day 4, Month 1, and Month 3. Phone call survey to be performed on Week 2.

Being tested
Dextenza 0.4Mg Ophthalmic Insert, Topical Prednisolone

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dextenza 0.4Mg Ophthalmic InsertDrug

    The insert, containing 0.4 mg of active pharmaceutical product, is placed within the canaliculus to provide a sustained and tapered delivery of drug to the ocular surface over 30 days after a one-time insertion. The attributes of the insert reduce the risks for improper corticosteroid tapering and unwanted peaks and troughs in drug concentration.

  • Topical PrednisoloneDrug

    Standard of care topical drop treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient Preference

    Primary outcome of patient reference of dexamethasone insert versus topical steroid as measured by adapted Comparison of Ophthalmic Medications for Tolerability (COMToL) questionnaire.

    Measured: Through Month 1 (Day 28 +/- 3 days)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of Eyes Epithelialized at Day 3

    The percentage of eyes with fully healed epithelium at post-op day 3

    Measured: Post-Operative Day 3

  2. Percentage of Eyes Fully Epithelialized at Day 4 Postoperative

    The percentage of eyes with fully healed epithelium at day 4 post-operative

    Measured: Postoperative Day 4

  3. Mean Pain Score Per Eye (Group A: Dextenza vs. Group B: Topical Steroid)

    Pain score as measured by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at day 3 post-operative. The rating scale is from 0-10 with 0 being no pain and 10 being severe pain.

    Measured: Day 3

  4. SPEED Questionnaire Results at Baseline and Postoperative Day 28

    Patient evaluation of eye dryness measured by a modified SPEED questionnaire with a results recorded 0-28 with 28 being the most severe.

    Measured: Pre-op Visit and Month 1 (Day 28)

  5. Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity

    measured using the ETDRS acuity chart at 4 meters recorded in logMAR.

    Measured: Month 1 and Month 3.

  6. Spectacle Corrected Distance Visual Acuity at Months 1 and 3 Post-operative

    Best-corrected distance visual acuity measured using ETDRS acuity chart at 4 meters, recorded in logMAR notation

    Measured: Month 1 and Month 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dextenza 0.4Mg Ophthalmic Insert and Topical Prednisolone in people with Refractive Surgery, run by Vance Thompson Vision 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?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 15 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 30 Jul 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Aug 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Patient Preference (time frame: Through Month 1 (Day 28 +/- 3 days)). 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 30 Jul 2024.
