Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparison of Epinephrine and Phenylephrine/Ketorolac With Regards to Pupil Size (NCT NCT02895035)

NCT ID: NCT02895035

Last Updated: 2020-01-31

Results Overview

Mean area under the curve was calculated by assessing the pupil diameter at baseline and then again at 1 minute intervals until the surgery was complete (max 20 minutes). Units are in millimeters\*seconds

Participant Flow

All patients who presented to one of two attending ophthalmologist's (MCC or SMP) clinics at Penn State Eye Center for cataract evaluation between November 10, 2016 and February 8, 2018 and met inclusion/exclusion criteria were invited to participate in the study. There were no incentives provided to patients for enrolling in the study.

Epinephrine (1 Day), Washout (21 Days), Then Omidria (1 Day)
Patients in this arm received epinephrine during the first eye surgery. Patients then waited (washout) 21 days before proceeding with second eye surgery. Patients then received Omidria during the second eye surgery.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: During cataract surgery, with maximum end time of 20 minutes

Population: Two eyes from each participant were included for all outcome measures.

Mean area under the curve was calculated by assessing the pupil diameter at baseline and then again at 1 minute intervals until the surgery was complete (max 20 minutes). Units are in millimeters\*seconds

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Epinephrine
n=42 Eyes
Epinephrine is the intracameral additive during cataract surgery. Epinephrine: Epinephrine is a nonselective adrenergic agonist added to the irrigation solution during cataract surgery.
Omidria
n=42 Eyes
Omidria is the intracameral additive during cataract surgery. Phenylephrine-ketorolac: Pehnylephrine-ketorolac is a combination of an alpha-one agonist (phenylephrine) and an NSAID (ketorolac). One 4-mL bottle of 1% phenylephrine/3% ketorolac is added to the irrigation solution during cataract surgery.
Mean Area Under the Curve Change From Baseline in Pupil Diameter Over Time to the End of Cataract Surgery
1.76 millimeters * seconds
Standard Deviation 6.51
0.8 millimeters * seconds
Standard Deviation 12.01

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During cataract surgery, with maximum end time of 20 minutes

Population: Two eyes from each participant were included

This is the maximum observed change in pupil diameter, as measured compared to baseline.
