RECRUITING

A Trial Evaluating Patient Preference of Dropless vs Drops Post Cataract Surgery

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

To evaluate the safety and ocular efficacy of Dextenza in combination with an intracameral antibiotic and NSAID in controlling post-operative ocular pain and inflammation compared to standard of care topical therapy in patients undergoing bilateral cataract surgery.

Official Title

A Prospective Trial Evaluating a Intracanalicular Insert Delivery System Compared to Traditional Topical Drops in Controlling Post-operative Pain and inFlammation in Subjects Undergoing Sequential Bilateral Cataract Surgery

  7. * A subject with a known sensitivity to any of the study medications; A subject with a known or suspected allergy or hypersensitivity to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or to any component of the test article
  8. * A subject with a history as a steroid responder
  9. * A subject with capsule or zonular abnormalities with preoperative lens tilt and/or decentration (e.g., Marfan's syndrome), or may affect postoperative centration or tilt of the lens (e.g. pseudoexfoliation syndrome)
  10. * A subject has a history of ocular trauma in their scheduled surgical eye
  11. * A subject that has undergone prior intraocular surgery in the scheduled surgical eye within the last 6 months or laser surgery within three months prior to screening
  12. * A subject with pupil abnormalities (non-reactive, tonic pupils, abnormally shaped pupils, or pupils that do not dilate at least 3.5 mm under mesopic/scotopic conditions) in their scheduled surgical eye.
  13. * A subject with a corneal abnormality (e.g., stromal, epithelial or endothelial dystrophies) in their scheduled surgical eye

  15. * A subject with evidence of Epithelial Basement Membrane Dystrophy on slit-lamp exam
  16. * A subject that has been wearing Poly Methyl Metharcylate (PMMA) lenses within 6 months, gas permeable lenses within one month, or extended-wear or daily soft contact lens within 7 days of their scheduled surgery
  17. * A subject with an inability to achieve keratometric stability for contact lens wearers
  18. * A subject with a history of chronic/recurrent inflammatory eye disease (e.g., scleritis, uveitis, herpes keratitis) in either eye
  19. * A subject with uncontrolled glaucoma
  20. * A subject that requires an Limbal Relaxing Incision (LRI) or AI procedure before, during or after cataract surgery
  21. * A subject that may or is expected to undergo surgical intervention and/or ocular laser treatment prior to or during the study period
  22. * A subject that requires the use of systemic or ophthalmic Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroid medications during the study period.
  23. * A subject that requires the use of system or ocular medications that may affect vision, ocular inflammation or pain
  24. * A subject with an acute or chronic disease, or illness, that would increase risk or confound study results (e.g., autoimmune disease, connective tissue disease, immunocompromised, suspected glaucoma, glaucomatous changes in the fundus or visual field, ocular inflammation, etc.)
  25. * A subject with an uncontrolled systemic disease: A potential subject in whom therapy for a systemic disease is not yet stabilized will not be considered for entry into the study
  26. * A subject with diabetes that is poorly controlled
  27. * A subject currently participating or has participated in another clinical trial within 30 days prior to enrollment.
