Ketorolac Levels in Vitreous and Aqueous Samples From Patients Undergoing Combined Cataract and Pars Plana Vitrectomy Surgeries With and Without Intracameral Phenylephrine 1.0% / Ketorolac 0.3%

Early Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Cataract
Interventions
Combination Product: OMIDRIA (*Registered Product) {10.16 mg/mL (1% w/v) of phenylephrine and 2.88 mg/mL (0.3% w/v) of ketorolac}
Other: Ketorolac Tromethamine {TORADOL} (0.5%) - Topical Eyedrop
Registration Number
NCT06539637
Lead Sponsor
DHS Consulting
Brief Summary

This is a clinical trial evaluating Ketorolac levels in vitreous and aqueous humor samples from patients undergoing combined cataract and pars plana vitrectomy surgeries with and without intracameral phenylephrine 1.0% / ketorolac 0.3% (OMIDRIA). Patients not receiving intracameral OMIDRIA will receive topical ketorolac prior to cataract surgery/pars plana vitrectomy.

Detailed Description

Cataract surgery can result in intra- and postoperative inflammation. Various strategies are employed to prevent and combat this inflammatory reaction, including preoperative topical NSAIDs, intraoperative NSAIDs or steroids, and postoperative topical NSAIDs and/or steroids. The only FDA-approved NSAID for intraoperative use is the ketorolac component of OMIDRIA® (Rayner Surgical, Bellevue, WA, USA).

Animal studies have assessed the concentration of ketorolac in the vitreous and demonstrated therapeutic levels out to 10 hours postoperatively. There is no human data for ketorolac levels in the vitreous following intracameral administration of OMIDRIA at the time of cataract surgery.

This study will enroll approximately 10-20 patients undergoing combined cataract surgery immediately followed by pars plana vitrectomy. Aqueous and vitreous samples will be taken intraoperatively and sent to an independent lab for analysis of ketorolac concentrations.

OMIDRIAOMIDRIA (*Registered Product) {10.16 mg/mL (1% w/v) of phenylephrine and 2.88 mg/mL (0.3% w/v) of ketorolac}OMIDRIA is a combination product containing 10.16 mg/mL (1% w/v) of phenylephrine and 2.88 mg/mL (0.3% w/v) of ketorolac in a single-patient-use vial. Once the 4mL of OMIDRIA is diluted in 500 mL of ophthalmic irrigation solution, the resulting solution is intended to be used as needed during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement.
Topical KetorolacKetorolac Tromethamine {TORADOL} (0.5%) - Topical EyedropTopical ketorolac tromethamine 0.5% is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of inflammation following cataract surgery and relief of ocular itching due to seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.
