Clinical trial NCT00596492: DY002: Safety and Effectiveness of DYME as an Agent for Selective Staining of the Anterior Capsule During Cataract Surgery
Official title: AQNA-DY002: A Double-Masked, Randomized Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of DYME as an Agent for Selective Staining of the Anterior Capsule During Cataract Surgery
Study type: INTERVENTIONAL
Overall status: TERMINATED
Phase: PHASE3
Conditions: Mature Cataracts
Lead sponsor: Aqumen Biopharmaceuticals, N.A.
Sponsor class: INDUSTRY
First posted: 2008-01-17
Enrollment: 200
Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 18
Standard ages: ADULT

Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that DYME is safe and effective as a drug to facilitate continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) by selectively staining the anterior capsule. Secondary objectives are to compare the safety and effectiveness of DYME to that of a smaller dose of the same API.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Have a cataract sufficiently opaque/mature/brunescent that, in the surgeon's assessment,a dye could facilitate surgery;
* Be aged at least 18 years old at the time of enrollment;
* Be in a medical condition suitable for cataract surgery;
* Able and willing to participate in study examinations and visit schedule; and
* Understand and freely consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* In either eye, ocular infection or inflammation within the past 3 months;
* Known allergy to BBG 250;
* Uncontrolled intercurrent diseases including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac arrhythmia;
* Active treatment for cancer or systemic infection within the past month;
* Active treatment with systemic corticosteroids within the past month;
* Previous participation in this Study for the contralateral eye;
* Participation in another clinical trial involving an investigational therapeutic during the past 30 days or 5.5 half-lives (if applicable), whichever is longer;
* Unwillingness to participate in the study or inability to give informed consent; or
* Any medical condition that in the opinion of the Investigator may compromise the research subject's safety or ability to participate in the study.

Primary outcomes:
measure: Optimal curvilinear capsulorrhexis with a single dose, as assessed by the surgeon based on the tissue dyed and subsequently removed.
timeFrame: During surgery
measure: Uncomplicated discharge
timeFrame: Three months post-op
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Quality of stain
timeFrame: during surgery
measure: Intra-ocular safety of DYME as measured by best corrected visual acuity, corneal endothelial cell count, intraocular pressure, presence/absence of retained dye, duration of surgery, and the absence of dye related adverse events
timeFrame: 1-day and 1-week post-op
measure: Intra-ocular safety of DYME as measured by corneal endothelial cell count
timeFrame: Three months post-op
