Cross-linked CMC and Silk Proteins in Corneal Re-epithelization (CLCS)

March 6, 2025 updated by: D&V FARMA srl

Ophthalmic Solution in Corneal Re-epithelization

Data analyses and revision of the corneal re-epithelization in patients who underwent either PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), CXL (Corneal Cross-Linking), PTK (phototherapeutic keratectomy), or experienced a corneal abrasion. A novel ophthalmic solution containing cross-linked CMC (CX-CMC) and Silk Proteins (SP) has been made available on the market. Both molecules have been widely studied for their wound healing properties in the ophtalmic field. This new ophthalmic solution is the first on the market formulated with a CX-CMC and SP.

Study Population

Data derived from subject who undergone surgical procedures involving de-epithelialization, which included CXL, PRK, and PTK, as well as those with a first diagnosis of corneal abrasionand treated with the ophthalmic solution containing CX-CMC and SP and with lubricant eye drops will be collected and analysed.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
CXC-SP
subjects who underwent either PRK, CXL, PTK or experienced a corneal abrasion treated with a standard therapy plus silk protein and CX-CMC-based eye drops.
Standard therapy plus sterile Isotonic ophthalmic solution based on CX-CMC and silk protein, istilled six time a day until complete healing.
CTRL
subjects who underwent either PRK , CXL , PTK , or experienced a corneal abrasion. The subjects were treated with the standard therapy only.
Standard therapy plus sterile ophtalmic isotonic solution for six time a day until complete healing.
