KOL Index score: 19341

BACKGROUND: It is presumed that exposure to allergens in the environment occurs through both the eyes and the nose. Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis is typically treated with a nasal spray or systemic antihistamine, neither of which may provide adequate relief of the ocular component of the disease.

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to gain a better understanding of the physiologic interaction between the conjunctival and nasal mucosa and thus help establish a profile for the most effective ...

BACKGROUND: One approach to treating allergic rhinoconjunctivitis is the concomitant use of an intranasal spray such as fluticasone propionate to alleviate nasal symptoms and a topical or systemic agent to relieve ocular symptoms. It has not yet been determined whether a topical or systemic agent is more effective for the latter purpose.

OBJECTIVE: This study compared the efficacy of combined use of fluticasone and olopatadine with combined use of fluticasone and fexofenadine in the ...

OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of olopatadine ophthalmic solution (0.1%) with ketorolac ophthalmic solution (0.5%) in a clinical model of acute allergic conjunctivitis. Olopatadine is a dual acting H1 histamine receptor antagonist and a mast cell stabilizer, shown to be effective in treating allergic conjunctivitis. Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug approved in the United States for the relief of ocular itching associated with ...

BACKGROUND: Bepotastine besilate is a highly selective histamine H(1)-receptor antagonist with antihistaminic, mast cell stabilizing, and anti-inflammatory activity. Based on a history of clinical effectiveness and tolerability of oral bepotastine besilate in the treatment of allergic symptoms, bepotastine besilate is being tested as a potential ophthalmic medication for allergic conjunctivitis.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of bepotastine besilate ophthalmic ...

Vigabatrin: 2008 Update


[ PUBLICATION ]
KOL Index score: 15139

Vigabatrin (VGB) is a structural analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that irreversibly inhibits GABA-transaminase (GABA-T), increasing brain levels of GABA. VGB is under assessment for treatment of infantile spasms (IS) and refractory complex partial seizures (CPS). Response can be rapid with spasm cessation following approximately 2 weeks of therapy. Patients with symptomatic tuberous sclerosis (TS) and other patients have achieved spasm cessation. Comparison with ACTH has been ...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of olopatadine on the release of mast cell-derived mediators after conjunctival allergen challenge(CAC) in humans.

METHODS: This was a double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Subjects with a clinical history of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (but no current symptoms or treatment at baseline) were studied. At visit 1, subjects underwent bilateral CAC with increasing doses of allergen every 15 minutes ...

Olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.2% (Pataday, Alcon) is a new formulation of olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, the first topical ocular antiallergic agent indicated for once-daily dosing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy, onset, and duration of action of olopatadine 0.2% in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. Using the conjunctival allergen challenge, this double-masked, randomized by eye, parallel-group study included four ...

BACKGROUND: Epinastine hydrochloride is an antihistamine with mast cell-stabilizing and anti-inflammatory activity.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of ophthalmic epinastine in patients with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) exposed to environmental allergens.

METHODS: This randomized (age-stratified), double-masked, parallel-group, active- and vehicle-controlled, environmental, Phase III clinical trial was conducted at 6 ophthalmology ...

BACKGROUND: The most common form of allergic ocular disease is seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, coinciding with the pollen season and generally associated with rhinitis. Symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis include ocular itching, hyperemia, tearing, mucus production, foreign body sensation, chemosis, and lid edema. Similarly, the primary symptoms of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis are nasal itching, irritation, sneezing, watery rhinorrhea, and congestion combined with ocular itching, ...

BACKGROUND: Epinastine hydrochloride is a nonsedating antihistamine with a high affinity for histamine H(1) receptors, together with mast cell-stabilizing and anti-inflammatory activities.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of topically administered ophthalmic epinastine using the conjunctival antigen challenge (CAC) model in patients with a history of allergic conjunctivitis.

METHODS: This prospective, single-center, randomized, double-masked, ...

Two studies were conducted using the conjunctival provocation test (CPT) model of ocular allergy. The objective of the first study was to evaluate the sensitivity of the CPT model to a topical corticosteroid. Selected was loteprednol etabonate 0.5%, previously found effective in the treatment of ocular allergy and inflammation. The study was a randomized double-masked, placebo-controlled, paired-comparison of loteprednol etabonate 0.5% (LE), b.i.d. or q.i.d. Sixty subjects who had a ...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.2% administered once daily is effective for up to 24 hours after instillation and is well tolerated in adults and children aged > or =3 years.

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of olopatadine 0.2% compared with placebo in patients with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis or rhinoconjunctivitis.

METHODS: This was a 10-week, randomized, ...

BACKGROUND: Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis patients are often treated with nasal or systemic allergy therapy, forgoing therapy for ocular symptoms. This treatment regimen leaves important aspects of the allergic reaction untreated and affects quality of life (QoL). The Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Allergic Conjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire quantify separate aspects of QoL.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the benefit gained in QoL, measured by these ...

BACKGROUND: Allergic conjunctivitis very often occurs simultaneously with rhinitis in seasonal allergy sufferers. While systemic anti-allergic and antihistaminic agents are effective against many signs and symptoms of allergy, they may not adequately control ocular signs and symptoms in patients with multiple target organ hypersensitivity. Patanol (olopatadine hydrochloride 0.1% ophthalmic solution, Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX), a new effective anti-allergic mast cell ...
