Corneal Crosslinking for Treatment of Corneal Neovascularization

February 6, 2024 updated by: Price Vision Group

Randomized Comparison of Standard vs. Accelerated Corneal Crosslinking for Treatment of Corneal Neovascularization With or Without Concomitant Inflammation and/or Infection

The study objective is to assess safety and efficacy of photo-activation of riboflavin for treatment of corneal neovascularization with or without concomitant inflammation and/or infection.

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

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 18 years of age or older
  • With active inflammation or infection causing vascularization and possibly melting of the cornea, or vessels extending into the cornea causing lipid deposition, or vascularization that could significantly increase the risk of rejection of a current or planned corneal transplant, or vessels that continue to extend into the cornea despite topical treatment with corticosteroids.
  • Signed written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known sensitivity to treatment medications
  • Current condition that in the investigator's opinion could compromise safety or data integrity.
  • Pregnancy (including plan to become pregnant) or lactation during the course of the study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: 30 minute photoactivation
photoactivation of riboflavin 0.1% using 365-nm UV light, 3mW/cm2 for 30 minutes
Use of riboflavin 0.1% eye drops and 3mW/cm2 UVA light for 30 minutes
Active Comparator: 10 minute photoactivation

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
corneal neovascularization as a proportion of the total corneal area
Time Frame: 6 months
the cornea will be photographed and morphometric image analysis software will be used to measure corneal neovascularization as a proportion of the total corneal area. The proportion measured at baseline will be compared with the proportion measured at 6 months after treatment.
6 months
