MELT-300 for Sedation in Cataract Surgery

Hagerstown, Maryland
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if MELT-300 works on procedural sedation in adult participants undergoing cataract extraction with lens replacement (CELR). It will also learn about the safety of MELT-300. Researchers will compare MELT-300 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if MELT-300 works on procedural sedation in adult participants undergoing CELR. Researchers will also include a comparator SL midazolam to confirm the benefit of inclusion of ketamine in the combined drug product. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does MELT-300 is effective in comparison to placebo on procedural sedation for cataract surgery? 2. To determine the effectiveness of MELT-300 compared with midazolam on procedural sedation (to determine the contribution of ketamine component and inform the risk of ketamine in MELT-300) 3. To determine the time to achieve preoperative target sedation level with MELT-300 4. What medical problems do participants have when taking MELT-300 vs placebo Eligible participants will admitted to the study unit on Day 1. Participants will be randomized prior to surgery 4:1:1 to 1. MELT-300 (i.e. 1 MELT-300 sublingual tablet which contains 3 mg midazolam and 50 mg of ketamine) 2. Midazolam (i.e. 1 matching midazolam sublingual tablet which contains 3 mg midazolam) 3. Placebo (i.e. 1 matching placebo sublingual tablet) Participants will receive study medication 30 (± 5) minutes, without food or water, before planned surgery start (defined as instillation of topical ocular anesthetic gel \[i.e.. 3 drops of chloroprocaine hydrochloride ophthalmic gel)\]. The effectiveness of MELT-300 will be performed after study medication is administered before surgery, in the course of surgery, and postoperative on Day 1 (end of surgery defined as just prior to drape removal). The safety of MELT-300 will be performed at baseline, in the course of surgery, postoperatively on Day 1, and on Day 3 ± 1 day post dose of study medication.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

System-Level Intervention for Visual Impairment

New York, New York
Individuals living in Upper Manhattan have limited access to eye care, high vision impairment rates, and poor ocular health outcomes. To improve eye care and vision health outcomes, the Eye Health Intervention Study in Upper Manhattan (EYES-UM) will conduct eye health screenings in accessible primary care health centers and senior centers and implement a behavioral intervention to improve adherence for those referred for in-office eye care. The proposed innovative, 2:1 cluster-randomized clinical trial, will recruit adults age 40 and older in Upper Manhattan with known rates of inadequate eye care. A total of 10 settings in Upper Manhattan, comprised of primary care offices, senior centers, and organizations, confirms access to 17,000 individuals living at or below the NYC.gov poverty measure. This study will conduct ocular tests (visual acuity, intraocular pressure, fundus images) during screenings. To ensure that all participants receive the basic level of service, all participants who fail the eye health screening will be seen the same day by a study optometrist and eyeglasses will be provided at no charge. Educational workshops and an Advisory Board will support recruitment. Intervention Arm participants will receive ongoing support with scheduling eye exams and transportation by trained Study Coordinators. All participants will be followed prospectively for 2 years. The study is guided by the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) Framework. Conducting Focus Groups with health policy stakeholders ensures iterative input during the study to bridge and translate EYES-UM findings into a Vision Health Policy Roadmap for scalable implementation of vision care delivery models, focusing on adherence.

AI-Based Screening for Glaucoma

Birmingham, Alabama
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if implementation of an eye screening program at Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) clinics provides results that participants may have glaucoma, and/or other eye conditions (diabetic retinopathy, cataract, visual acuity impairment). The glaucoma screening will incorporate use of an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted screening tool. This project is called AI-RONA. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does this eye screening program compare to the rate of glaucoma and other eye conditions detected at other FQHC clinics where the screening program has not been implemented? * Do particpants who screen positive for these conditions adhere to the physician's recommendation for a follow-up examination by an optometrist or ophthalmologist? * Are referral rates for a follow-up comprehensive eye exam by an optometrist or ophthalmologist similar to those implemented by an ophthalmologist using telemedicine (that is, using the results of the screening to make a diagnosis remotely)? * What is the cost-effectiveness of the AI-assisted screening program in diagnosing glaucoma as compared to a physician-guided program? * Are participants completing the screening satisfied with it? * Are physicians at the FQHC clinics administering the screening satisfied with it? Participants will: * Undergo an ocular screening whose goal is to detect glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, cataract, and/or impairment in visual acuity. If the screening indicates that participants may have these conditions, participants will be referred for a comprehensive eye examination by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. * Following the screening, participants and physicians will complete a survey on their satisfaction with the program.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Cataract clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Cataract clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Cataract trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Cataract is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Cataract medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Cataract clinical trials?

Most recently, we added System-Level Intervention for Visual Impairment, Cabotegravir + Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder and Patient Navigator Intervention for Vision Impairment or Blindness to the Power online platform.
