Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will assess changes in visual acuity and corneal symmetry after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) of asymmetric corneas.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Combination Product: CXLO Corneal Strengthening Solution and UVA Illumination Device
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the results of Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL) in patients with conditions that include keratoconus, forme fruste keratoconus, post-LASIK ectasia, pellucid marginal degeneration, forme fruste pellucid marginal degeneration, diurnal fluctuation post-radial keratotomy, or Terrien's marginal degeneration. This is an outcomes study, all patients receive treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) [Baseline and 6 and 12 months]

    Changes in CDVA are reported as the value at 6 and 12 months minus the value at baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity (UCVA) [Baseline and 6 and 12 months]

    Changes in UCVA are reported as the value at 6 and 12 months minus the value at baseline

  2. Change From Baseline in Maximum Keratometry (KMax) [Baseline and 6 and 12 months]

    Kmax is the maximum value of corneal curvature in Diopters. Changes in Kmax are reported as the value at 6 and 12 months minus the value at baseline.

Adverse Events

Time Frame 12 months
Adverse Event Reporting Description A total of 2,228 subjects were randomized and treated in this study (Treated Analysis Set). 1,583 (71%) of these subjects received bilateral, simultaneous treatments. The Safety Analysis Set (SAS) is larger than the Treated Analysis Set because subjects who had an initial unilateral treatment and then had a subsequent procedure, appear in the SAS under two different treatment groups, if the subsequent treatment differs from the initial treatment. This occurred in 19 subjects.
