Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Restasis is an effective treatment for preventing the occurrence and progression of dry eye syndrome in patients who have recently received a bone marrow transplant and are at risk to graft-versus-host disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this research study is to determine if early treatment using Restasis eye drops can prevent the development or delay the progression of dry eye syndrome in allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cyclosporine A 0.05%

If patients pass the screening criteria, both eyes are randomized to therapy. One eye will receive Cyclosporine A 0.05% (Restasis) and the other eye will receive Placebo (Artificial Tear)

The objective signs will be corneal and conjunctival staining, Schirmer test (with and without anesthesia), and tear break-up time. The subjective endpoints will be the SANDE symptom global score.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Cyclosporine A 0.05%

Intervention Type DRUG

Topical cyclosporine A 0.05% (Restasis) three times a day for 18 months.

Artificial Tear

If patients pass the screening criteria, both eyes are randomized to therapy. One eye will receive Cyclosporine A 0.05% (Restasis) and the other eye will receive Placebo (Artificial Tear)

The objective signs will be corneal and conjunctival staining, Schirmer test (with and without anesthesia), and tear break-up time. The subjective endpoints will be the SANDE symptom global score.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Arificial Tear

Intervention Type DRUG

Artificial Tear - three times a day for 18 months.
