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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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

18 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: SygeLIX-Coll-T
Extract of umbilical cord lining constituted of Wharton's jelly put in suspension in microvials. Instillation by the patient in the sick eye of 1 drop 5 times a days (morning, noon, afternoon, evening and bedtime) for 40 days.
Biological: SygeLIX-Coll-T
Reconstituted suspension made of Trehalose and chemically treated, grinded, freeze-dried and sterilized Wharton's Jelly used by the patient as eye drops.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Absence of aggravated inflammatory signs, worsening of visual acuity or other side effect
Time Frame: Through study completion - average of 40 days
Inflammatory signs evaluated using a composite score on 66 points. Duration and intensity are evaluated for secretion, dry eyes, tearing, foreign body sensation, fluctuating vision, photophobia, burning sensation and lids edema. Duration is evaluated from a scale from 0: never to 4: all the time. Intensity is evaluated from a scale from 0: slight to 2: severe. Localization and intensity are evaluated for conjunctival edema, conjunctival redness and neovascularization. Localization is evaluated on a scale from 0: no reaction to 4: reaction present in the whole eye
Through study completion - average of 40 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Re-epithelialization of the cornea
Time Frame: 7 days, 15 days, 40 days
Epithelialization assessed by the Oxford score after fluorescein instillation in the eye (0: no corneal staining to 5: severe corneal staining)
7 days, 15 days, 40 days
Improvement of dry eyes signs and symptoms
Time Frame: 7 days, 15 days, 40 days
Severity of dry eye evaluated using Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire
7 days, 15 days, 40 days
Improvement of visual acuity
Time Frame: 7 days, 15 days, 40 days
Visual acuity evaluated on Monoyer chart
7 days, 15 days, 40 days

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.
