Study Overview
Brief Summary
To determine whether the Peschke PXL-330 is safe and effective in the treatment of corneal thinning conditions.
Detailed Description
Patients with progressive keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, infectious keratitis, or at risk for post-refractive corneal ectasia will be recruited and undergo epithelial-on corneal crosslinking with the Peschke PXL-330 system using pulsed, accelerated energy delivery. Patients will undergo monitoring for 1 year, with serial measurements of corneal topography, visual acuity, intraocular pressure and visual function questionnaire.

- •Axial topography consistent with keratoconus, post-surgical ectasia, or pellucid marginal degeneration
- •Presence of one or more findings associated with keratoconus or pellucid marginal degeneration, such as
- •Fleisher ring
- •Vogt's striae
- •Decentered corneal apex
- •Munson's sign
- •Rizzutti's sign
- •Apical corneal scarring consistent with Bowman's breaks
- •Scissoring of the retinoscopic reflex
- •Crab-claw appearance on topography
- •Steepest keratometry (Kmax) value greater than or equal to 47.2
- •I-S keratometry difference < 1.5 D on the Pentacam map or topography map
- •Posterior corneal elevation > 16 microns
- •Thinnest corneal point <485 microns
- •Predicted Post LASIK/PRK stromal ablation depth <350 microns or expected keratometry >47.2, or patients undergoing PRK/SMILE in keratoconus suspect eyes
- •Bacterial or fungal keratitis persistent and not responding despite > 2 weeks of standard antimicrobial therapy or with rapid progression of corneal thinning, with loss of >25% corneal thickness
- •Contact lens wearers only:
- •Removal of contact lenses for the require period of time prior to the screening refraction:
- •Contact Lens Type Discontinuations Time: Soft, 1 week; Soft Extended Wear, 2 weeks; Soft Toric, 3 weeks; Rigid Gas Permeable, 2 weeks per decade of wear -
Exclusion Criteria
- •Eyes classified as normal or atypical normal on the severity grading scheme
- •Corneal pachymetry at the screening exam that is <300 microns at the the thinnest point in the eye(s) to be treated.
- •Previous ocular condition (other than refractive error) in the eye(s) to be treated that may predispose the eye for future complications, for example:
- •History of or active corneal disease (e.g. herpes simplex, herpes zoster keratitis, recurrent erosion syndrome, acanthamoeba, etc.)
- •Clinically significant corneal scarring the CXL treatment zone that is not related to keratoconus or, in the investigator's opinion, will interfere with the cross-linking procedure.
- •Pregnancy (including plan to become pregnant) or lactation during the course of the study
- •A known sensitivity to the study medications
- •Patients with nystagmus or any other condition that would prevent a steady gaze during the CXL treatment of diagnostic tests.
- •Patients with a current condition that, in the physician's opinion, wold interfere with or prolong epithelial healing.
