Miebo (Perfluorohexyloctane) is a novel, non-aqueous, single entity, preservative free, ophthalmic drop. This drop was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Meibomian Gland Disease (MGD).
All published data on Miebo has been done in non-contact lens wearers. As contact lens dropout rates seem to be an ongoing problem for practitioners, we are performing this study utilizing this novel new drug with contact lens patients to determine if the drops assist comfort in typical soft contact lens wearing patients. If the study determines that Miebo assists in the overall comfort of contact lens patients this could be a possible way to help keep patients in their contact lenses longer.

Improved Near Vision and Intermediate Without Loss of Binocular Distance Vision Using AGN-190584 in Subjects Utilizing Single -Use Daily, Contact Lenses for Distance Vision Correction in Both Eyes

AGN-190584 has gone through many clinical trials showing its safety and effectiveness in individuals from 40-55 years of age. There has been no published data on the use of this product in individuals corrected with contact lenses for distance vision. There are many other applications AGN-190584 could be used for and further studies will show the effectiveness for each.

INTRODUCTIONCenegermin is approved for treatment of neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) and has been studied in patients with stage 2 or 3 NK. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of cenegermin in adults with stage 1 NK.METHODSThis was a phase IV, multicenter, prospective, open-label, uncontrolled trial. Adults with stage 1 NK (Mackie criteria) and decreased corneal sensitivity (≤ 4 cm) received 1 drop of cenegermin 20 mcg/ml in the affected eye(s) 6 times/day for 8 weeks with a 24-week follow-up.RESULTSOf 37 patients, corneal epithelial healing was observed in 84.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 68.1-94.9%; P < 0.001) at week 8; 95.2% (95% CI 76.2-99.9%; P < 0.001) of those patients remained healed at the end of the 24-week follow-up (week 32). At week 8, 91.2% (95% CI 76.3-98.1%; P < 0.001) of patients experienced improved corneal sensitivity; this improvement was observed in 82.1% (95% CI 63.1-93.9%; P < 0.001) of patients at week 32. Mean best-corrected distance visual acuity change from baseline at week 8 was - 0.10 logMAR (standard deviation [SD], 0.15; 95% CI - 0.16 to - 0.05; P < 0.001) and at week 32 was - 0.05 logMAR (SD, 0.16; 95% CI - 0.11 to 0.01; P = 0.122). At weeks 8 and 32, 15.2% (95% CI 5.1-31.9%; P < 0.001) and 10.7% (95% CI 2.3-28.2%; P < 0.001) of patients, respectively, had a 15-letter gain from baseline. At least one adverse event (AE) was reported by 73.0% and 45.7% of patients during the treatment and follow-up periods, respectively. The most common treatment-related, treatment-emergent AEs were eye pain (37.8%), blurred vision (10.8%), and eyelid pain (8.1%); these were mostly mild or moderate and were only reported during the treatment period.CONCLUSIONSThese results support the potential use of cenegermin for treating patients with stage 1 NK, and future confirmatory studies would be beneficial to elaborate on these findings.TRIAL REGISTRATIONDEFENDO; NCT04485546.

Clinical Ophthalmology

A Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing Tearcare® and Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion for the Treatment of Dry Eye Disease (SAHARA)

PurposeWe compare outcomes in eyes with dry eye disease (DED) treated with TearCare (TC) or topical cyclosporine 0.05% (RESTASIS; CsA).SettingNineteen ophthalmic and optometric practices in 11 US states.DesignMulticenter, randomized, assessor-masked, controlled IRB-approved trial. Eligible subjects: ≥22 years of age, dry eye symptoms within 3-6 months, Tear Break-up Time (TBUT) ≥1 to ≤7 s, Meibomian Gland Secretion Score (MGSS) ≤12, Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) of 23-79. Randomized (1:1) to TC or CsA. TC subjects treated at baseline and month 5; CsA was twice daily for 6 months.MethodsFollow-up visits were scheduled for Day 1, Week 1, Months 1, 3, and 6 with primary inference at Month 6. Primary outcomes: TBUT and OSDI; secondary outcomes: MGSS, conjunctival and corneal staining, eye dryness score (EDS), symptoms assessment in dry eye (SANDE) score, and Schirmer tear score (STS). Safety assessments included adverse events, best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and slit-lamp findings.ResultsOverall, 345 subjects, 172 TC and 173 CsA. TBUT improved at all time points in both groups (p<0.0001), with statistically greater improvement for TC versus CsA (p=0.0006). OSDI improved significantly at all time points in both groups (p<0.0001) with no significant differences between treatments. MGSS and other measures of meibomian gland function improved significantly more with TC eyes versus CsA; other secondary outcomes showed significant improvements in both groups with no difference between groups. Treatment-related adverse events were uncommon (10 total, 8 in the CsA group consistent with prior CsA studies); most (9/10) mild.ConclusionTC provides statistically superior and sustained improvement in TBUT and multiple measures of meibomian gland secretion, and non-inferior improvement in OSDI, corneal and conjunctival staining, SANDE, EDS, and STS versus CsA. TC should be a preferred treatment for DED associated with MGD.
