简要总结
This study will investigate how well OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray can treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease in those Sjogren's Syndrome. Patients at least 18 years old with moderate-to-severe Sjogren's dry eye disease may be eligible for this study. If you are eligible to participate in the study and you decide to join, there will be 3 study visits over approximately 1 month. You will also self-administer the nasal spray at home every day, 2 times a day during this month.

入选标准
- •Provide signed written consent prior to study-related procedures
- •Be at least 18 years of age at the screening visit
- •Have diagnosed moderate to severe Sjogrens Syndrome via blood work or biopsy Category 2 staining score for Conjunctiva based on the Van Bjisterveld and Utrect scale and 3 staining score for cornea based on the NEI scale
- •Have been using Cyclosporine or Lifitegrast 3 months
- •Be literate and able to complete questionnaires independently
- •Be able and willing to use the study drug and participate in all study assessments and visits
- •Have sufficient hand strength, in the opinion of the Investigator, to be able to independently administer the study drug
- •Have provided verbal and written informed consent
- •If a female is of childbearing potential, they must: use an acceptable means of birth control (acceptable methods of contraception include: hormonal oral, implantable, injectable, or transdermal contraceptives, mechanical spermicide in conjunction with a barrier such as a diaphragm or condom, IUD, or surgical sterilization of partner), and have a negative urine pregnancy test on Day 1
排除标准
- •Have undergone previous ocular surgery (e.g., intraocular, oculoplastic, corneal or refractive surgical procedure)
- •Have had thermal pulsation or IPL in prior 3 months
- •Have used topical ophthalmic corticosteroid therapy in prior 4 weeks
- •Have had cataract surgery in the last 6 months
- •Have clinically significant ocular trauma.
- •Have active ocular Herpes simplex or Herpes Zoster infection
- •Have ocular inflammation (uveitis, iritis, scleritis, episcleritis, keratitis, conjunctivitis) at the discretion of the investigator.
- •Have ocular infection (e.g., viral, bacterial, mycobacterial, protozoan or fungal infection or the cornea, conjunctiva, lacrimal gland, lacrimal sac or eyelids including hordeolum/stye).
- •Have retinal pathology that can limit visual potential and refractive outcomes in the opinion of the investigator
- •Have severe (Grade 3 or 4) inflammation of the eyelid (e.g., blepharochalasis, staphylococcal blepharitis or seborrheic blepharitis)
- •Have eyelid abnormalities that significantly affect the lid function (e.g., entropion, ectropion, tumor, edema, blepharospasm, lagophthalmos, severe trichiasis, severe ptosis).
- •Have ocular surface abnormality that may compromise the corneal integrity (e.g., prior chemical burn, recurrent corneal erosion, corneal epithelial defect, Grade 3 corneal fluorescein staining, map dot fingerprint dystrophy, or the effect of any other ophthalmic medication that might in the opinion of the investigator compromise the ocular surface integrity).
- •Have a systemic condition or disease not stabilized or judged by the Investigator to be incompatible with participation in the study or with the lengthier assessments required by the study (e.g., current systemic infection, uncontrolled autoimmune disease, uncontrolled immunodeficiency disease, history of myocardial infarction or heart disease, etc.)
- •Have chronic or recurrent epistaxis, coagulation disorders or other conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may lead to clinically significant risk of increased bleeding.
- •Have had nasal or sinus surgery (including history of application of nasal cautery) or significant trauma to these areas
- •Be currently treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure
- •Have any untreated nasal infection at Visit 1
- •Have a vascularized polyp, severely deviated septum, chronic recurrent nosebleeds, or severe nasal obstruction as confirmed by intranasal examination performed at Visit
- •Have a known hypersensitivity to any of the procedural agents or study drug components
- •Be currently enrolled in an investigational drug or device study or have used an investigational drug or device within 30 days prior to Visit 1 and during the treatment period.
- •Be a female who is pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy at Visit
- •Be a woman of childbearing potential who is not using an acceptable means of birth control; acceptable methods of contraception include: hormonal oral, implantable, injectable, or transdermal contraceptives; mechanical spermicide in conjunction with a barrier such as a diaphragm or condom; IUD; or surgical sterilization of partner. The risks of OC-01 among pregnant patients are not known.
研究组 & 干预措施
OC-01 (varenicline solution) 0.03 mg nasal spray
干预措施: Varenicline Nasal Spray (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Mean Change in Cornea Staining
时间窗: Baseline to Day 28
The National Eye Institute (NEI) scale is the method that will be used to measure corneal staining using fluorescein strips on a scale of 0-3. The scale is a density-based scoring from 0-3 with 0 indicating no staining and 3 indicating highest density of staining.
Mean Change in Eye Dryness Score as Measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
时间窗: Baseline to Day 28
VAS is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Patients rate eye dryness on a scale of 0-100 where 0 corresponds to "no discomfort" and 100 corresponds to "maximal discomfort."
Mean Change in Conjunctival Staining
时间窗: Baseline to Day 28
The Van Bijsterveld and Utrecht scale is the method that will be used to measure conjunctival staining while using lissamine green dye. The scale is a from 0-3 with 0 indicating no staining and 3 indicating confluent staining.
次要结局
- Mean Change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity(Baseline to Day 28)
- Mean Change in Dry Mouth Scale(Baseline to Day 28)
- Mean Change in Nose Dryness Scale(Baseline to Day 28)
