Registration Number
NCT03596723
Lead Sponsor
Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study is designed to assess how KPI-121 1% compares to prednisolone acetate in reducing inflammation after cataract surgery in young children. Approximately half the participants will receive KPI-121 1% eye drops and the other half will receive prednisolone acetate.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Anterior Chamber Cell GradeDay 15

Anterior chamber cell grading is a way of quantifying the amount of inflammation in inflammatory eye processes. Higher values indicate greater inflammation. The anterior chamber cell grading uses whole numbers from 0 (no cells) to 4 (\> 30 cells) as follows:

Anterior chamber cell grade 0 = no cells seen Anterior chamber cell grade 1 = 1 - 5 cells Anterior chamber cell grade 2 = 6 - 15 cells Anterior chamber cell grade 4 = greater than 30 cells

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Modified Global Overall Assessment of Postoperative InflammationDay 15

The Modified Global Overall Assessment is a way of quantifying the amount of post operative healing that has occurred. Lower values indicate greater healing.The Modified Global Assessment grading uses whole numbers from 0 (clear) to 2 (not improving or worsening) as follows:

0 = clear

1. = improving satisfactorily

2. = not improving or worsening
