Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To determine treatment and imaging outcomes in bilateral ocular surface disease management with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4 mg) insert compared to standard topical over-the-counter artificial tears lubrication management

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Dextenza 0.4Mg Intracanalicular Insert
  • Other: Over the counter Artificial tears
Phase 4

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the benefit of treatment with a physician administered intracanalicular dexamethasone insert and patient administered artificial tears prn compared to patient administered artificial tears prn (control) in patients with bilateral ocular surface dry eye disease. The study is a self-controlled design and includes multiple objective, measureable, and quantifiable endpoints to best determine an objective response to treatment in patient eyes randomized to either the insert plus prn artificial tears or artificial tears prn control. To aid in ensuring best possible masking, DEXTENZA is best visualized with blue light and yellow filter and therefore visualization will not be assessed until final visit following all measures.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Dextenza

Treatment Arm-Dextenza insertion lower lid punctum at time of screening and use of OTC artificial tears as needed

Drug: Dextenza 0.4Mg Intracanalicular Insert
all patients will receive Intracanalicular dexamethasone, 0.4mg insert lower punctum and able to use over the counter artificial tears PRN at patient discretion
Other Names:
  • dexamethasone
  • Active Comparator: Over the counter Artificial tears

    Controlled arm: continuation of OTC artificial tears no placement of Dextenza intracanular insert

    Other: Over the counter Artificial tears
    over the counter artificial tears PRN at patient discretion

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Determine effect of dexamethasone insert over artificial tears [1 month]

      To determine the effect of dexamethasone insert plus over-the-counter artificial tears prn compared to over the counter artificial tears prn from Baseline at Week 2 (at 8 am, 12 pm and 4 pm) as measured by iTrace and IOL Master 700: and comfort of dry eyes using the OSDI scale and reading scores

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. OSDI scores [1 month]

      comfort of dry eyes using the OSDI scale and reading scores, scores are from the SPEED questionnaire. scale from 0-3 0-Never 1- Sometime 2-Often 3-Constant for the symptoms

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. ITRACE [1 month]

      measured by iTrace to measure comfort of dry eyes, no scale just review the changes if there are any

    2. IOL Master [1 month]

      as measured by IOL Master 700 to measure comfort of dry eyes, compare the previous images after each visit
