PMCF Study to Evaluate Performance and Safety of "Hyaluronic Acid (HA)-Based Eyedrops" Used to Relieve Dry Eye Symptoms
A study testing Hyaluronic acid eye drops in people with Dry Eye and Dry Eye Disease, run by C.O.C. Farmaceutici S.r.l. at 1 site in Italy.
Trial summary
Dry eye disease (DED), also called keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common ocular condition characterized by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface. The typical symptoms of DED include irritation, discomfort, blurred or fluctuating vision. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: An Interventional, Non-comparative, Single-center Post Marketing Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) Study to Evaluate Performance and Safety of "Hyaluronic Acid (HA)-Based Eyedrops" Used to Relieve Dry Eye Symptoms.
Dry eye disease (DED), also called keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common ocular condition characterized by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface. The typical symptoms of DED include irritation, discomfort, blurred or fluctuating vision.
Over the counter (OTC) artificial tears are typically the first line of dry eye treatment; they are meant to supplement the tears that cover the eye's surface. OTC products mimic the different layers of the tear film in order to maintain ocular hydration.

HA is found in higher concentrations in the vitreous humor of the eye, cartilage, and the synovial fluid. As a component of the tear film, HA increases the viscosity of the tear film and hydrates and lubricates the ocular surface. HA possesses intrinsic water retention properties, viscoelasticity, and favors the healing of corneal and conjunctival epithelium.
For these reasons, an interventional, non-comparative, single-center Post Marketing Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study was planned to evaluate the performance and safety of "HA-based eyedrops" used as intended to relieve dry eye symptoms.
The objectives of the PMCF study are confirmation of the performance, collection of additional safety data regarding expected adverse events and detection of potential unexpected adverse events associated with use of "HA-based eyedrops" according to the IFU.
"Hyaluronic Acid (HA)-based eyedrops" are medical devices used as intended to improve the discomfort due to dry eye (for intrinsic and/or extrinsic causes), contact lenses wearing and/or eye surgery.
Each Subject, after signing the Informed Consent Form, will enter the screening and baseline phase (the 2 visits will coincide) during which baseline procedures will be completed.
At baseline visit (V0), one of the "Hyaluronic Acid (HA)-based eyedrops" products can be dispensed to the enrolled Subjects, depending on Investigator clinical evaluation, and severity of the disease.
The patient will perform 2 on site visits (V0 and V2/EOS). To monitor the safety, 1 phone contact is planned (V1) to check for potential adverse events (AEs) and concomitant medications intake.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Schirmer Test I: to evaluate the performance of the "HA-based eyedrops" used to relieve dry eye symptoms due to both intrinsic and extrinsic causes, through Schirmer I test
Measured: From Baseline (V0 = Day 0) at 1 month (EOS/V2 = Day 30)
Secondary outcomes (4)
Change in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI): to evaluate the performance of the "HA-based eyedrops" used to relieve eye discomfort sensation
Measured: From Baseline (V0 = Day 0) at 1 month (EOS/V2 = Day 30)
Change in Tear Break-up Time (TBUT): to evaluate the performance of the "HA-based eyedrops" used to relieve ophthalmic stress due to prolonged use of contact lenses or surface eye surgery, through the TBUT test
Measured: From Baseline (V0 = Day 0) at 1 month (EOS/V2 = Day 30)
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the "HA-based eyedrops" through Visual Analogical Scale (VAS) - evaluation of symptoms related to dry eye disease (burning, fatigue, discomfort, redness)
Visual Analogical Scale Minimum value = 0 Maximum value = 10 Higher scores mean a better outcome
Measured: End of study visit (EOS/V2 = Day 30)
To evaluate the patient satisfaction of the "HA-based eyedrops" through a 5-points Likert Scale
Measured: End of study visit (EOS/V2 = Day 30)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Dry eye disease (DED), also called keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common ocular condition characterized by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface. The typical symptoms of DED include irritation, discomfort, blurred or fluctuating vision.

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 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 27 Mar 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 Italy. 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?
Change in Schirmer Test I: to evaluate the performance of the "HA-based eyedrops" used to relieve dry eye symptoms due to both intrinsic and extrinsic causes, through Schirmer I test (time frame: From Baseline (V0 = Day 0) at 1 month (EOS/V2 = Day 30)). 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 27 Mar 2024.
