Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Randomized, parallel-arm, active control, multi-center study assessing the safety of Dextenza for the treatment of ocular pain and inflammation following surgery for pediatric cataract. The subjects will be followed for approximately 2-3 months from screening to the last visit.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 second to 3 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Is 0-5 years of age (up to the day before the subject turns 6 years of age). In the event that a subject aged 0-5 years enrolls in the study and then undergoes a second cataract surgery in the contralateral eye during the study period, the subject remains eligible for participation for both eyes, regardless if the second surgery occurs when the subject is >5 years of age)
  • Has a cataract and is expected to undergo primary cataract surgery with or without implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any intraocular inflammation in the study eye present during the screening slit lamp examination
  • Has ocular hypertension (defined as IOP of >21 mmHg), or glaucoma or is on medications to treat ocular hypertension or glaucoma or has a history of IOP spikes in either eye including steroid-related IOP increases
  • Evidence of acute external ocular infections (bacterial, viral and/or fungal such as vaccinia, varicella, and other viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva), tuberculosis of the eye; corneal dystrophies; active corneal ulcers, intraocular infections, dysthyroid ophthalmopathy, active chalazion, or uncontrolled blepharitis in the study eye

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
