DEXTENZA in Pediatric Patients Following Retinal Surgery or Laser Treatment Under Anesthesia

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The Tender Study is a prospective, open-label, single-center, randomized, investigator-initiated clinical study seeks to investigate the safety and efficacy of the DEXTENZA insert in pediatric patients following retinal surgery or laser treatment under anesthesia.

Official Title

The Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Sustained Release Dexamethasone Intracanalicular Insert (DEXTENZA) in Pediatric Patients Following Retinal Surgery or Laser Treatment Under Anesthesia (TENDER)
