ABSTRACT
This is a pooled analysis from 2 phase III clinical trials investigating a water-free topical cyclosporine 0.1% for the treatment of moderate to severe dry eye. The analyses included 1162 patients 35% with cataract, 20% with pseudophakia, and 45% without cataract. Demographics or baseline characteristics were comparable across groups except for age and vision. The cyclosporine-treated patients achieved large mean improvements from baseline by day 15 -3.7 in patients without cataract, -3.2 in patients with cataract, and -3.1 in pseudophakic patients. These improvements were statistically significantly higher compared with the respective vehicle groups. In the cataract subgroup, 59% of patients treated with cyclosporine achieved ≥3 grade improvements in corneal staining score, as early as day 15. The magnitude of the effect and early onset of action make this new cyclosporine solution a promising candidate for preoperative management of ocular surface in patients undergoing cataract surgery.
