Official title

A Pilot Study For Efficacy And Safety Of Glanatec® Opthalmic Solution 0.4% On Corneal Edema And Endothelial Cell Counts In Subjects With Fuchs Endothelial Dystrophy Undergoing Descemet Stripping Without Endothelial Keratoplasty

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

In brief, the objective of this study is to investigate whether the drug Glanatec ® which is approved in Japan for glaucoma and ocular hypertension, can be used in patients with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy who have had a descemet stripping procedure without endothelial keratoplasty. While some limited data exists as a proof of concept in in vitro or animal studies, and Glanatec® has been successfully used in a recently published case series for this indication, there is insufficient data to show that this drug can be effectively used for corneal cell clearing while maintaining patient safety. The goal of the study is to provide sufficient proof of concept for the use of this drug in patients with FED whose only treatment alternative is to undergo corneal transplant.
