IVW-1001 Eyelid Wipe for Dry Eye Syndrome
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests different methods of using a special eyelid wipe designed to help those with dry eye syndrome, a condition causing dryness and discomfort in the eyes. Researchers aim to determine which wiping technique best relieves symptoms. Participants will try one of three methods of using the IVW-1001 Ophthalmic Eyelid Wipe. Individuals experiencing dry eye symptoms and who have used artificial tears in the past month may be suitable for this study. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on measuring the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of people.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that the IVW-1001 Ophthalmic Eyelid Wipe is safe for treating dry eye syndrome?
Research shows that the IVW-1001 Eyelid Wipe is generally safe to use. Previous studies on this treatment for dry eye syndrome involved various patients and found no major safety concerns. Specifically, these studies reported no significant side effects from using the wipe.
The treatment includes a compound that targets specific receptors to relieve dry eye symptoms. Safety results from earlier trials confirm its safe use in humans. While no treatment is entirely without risk, the data so far suggests that the IVW-1001 wipe is safe for most people in these studies.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the IVW-1001 Ophthalmic Eyelid Wipe because it offers a novel, hands-on approach to managing Dry Eye Syndrome. Unlike typical treatments like artificial tears or prescription eye drops, which focus on adding moisture to the eye surface, this wipe targets the eyelid area directly. It comes in three unique methods, each applying different pressures and targeting the eyelash line to help maintain tear film stability and improve eyelid hygiene. This could potentially provide relief by addressing one of the root causes of dry eye symptoms rather than just treating the symptoms themselves.
What evidence suggests that the IVW-1001 Ophthalmic Eyelid Wipe is effective for dry eye syndrome?
Research shows that IVW-1001 Ophthalmic Eyelid Wipe yields promising results for people with dry eye syndrome. In earlier studies, this treatment significantly improved both the signs and symptoms of dry eyes. Participants in this trial will use the IVW-1001 Ophthalmic Eyelid Wipe in one of three different methods to assess its effectiveness. The wipes contain a special ingredient that targets a specific part of the eye to relieve dryness. Patients experienced relief without any major safety concerns. Overall, this treatment has shown potential to effectively manage dry eye symptoms.13467
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for individuals with Dry Eye Syndrome who have a certain level of tear production and vision clarity, are not pregnant or nursing, willing to use birth control, and have used artificial tears within the last month. People with severe corneal staining, high eye pressure, or a history of glaucoma/ocular hypertension can't join.Inclusion Criteria
