i+Med S.Coop.20 enrolled

Overview

Clinical post-marketing quasi-experimental before-and-after trial to determine the effectiveness of DayDrop treatment in subjects seeking relief from symptoms of dryness and eye irritation based on OSDI questionnaire scores completed by patients.The study will involve 20 patients diagnosed with mild/moderate dry eye disease who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The duration of the study will be 2 weeks, including 3 visits.

Clinical post-marketing quasi-experimental before-and-after trial to determine the effectiveness of DayDrop treatment in subjects seeking relief from the signs of dryness and eye irritation, comparing the scores obtained at the end of the follow-up period with those established before the start of treatment (baseline condition), as measured by the patients according to the OSDI questionnaire. The study will involve 20 patients diagnosed with mild/moderate dry eye disease who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the protocol. The study duration will be 2 weeks, including 3 visits: baseline, visit 1 (after one week of treatment), and visit 2 (at 2 weeks from the start of treatment).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in the score obtained in the OSDI questionnaire.

The OSDI questionnaire will be completed by the patients and is used to analyze the presence of progress in dry eye symptoms. The 12 questions of the OSDI questionnaire will be used to calculate the index (total score range from 0 to 48). The score obtained for these parameters at the start of the study (baseline) will be compared with the score obtained at the end of the follow-up period. To support the hypothesis of effectiveness, treatment with DayDrop will result in a significant improvement (of at least 6 points out of 48) in the OSDI index scores at the end of the follow-up period, compared to the values recorded at the start of the study.

Time frame: At baseline and in week 3

Secondary Outcomes

Change in the score obtained in the OSDI questionnaire at week 1.

he 12 questions of the OSDI questionnaire will be used to calculate the index (total score range from 0 to 48). The score obtained for these parameters at the start of the study (baseline) will be compared with the score obtained at the end of the follow-up period. To support the hypothesis of effectiveness, treatment with DayDrop will result in a significant improvement (of at least 6 points out of 48) in the OSDI index scores at the end of the follow-up period, compared to the values recorded at the start of the study.

Time frame: At week 1

Assessment by the investigators of the treatment's effectiveness.

A questionnaire for the final evaluation of the treatment will be provided to the investigator. A questionnaire for the final evaluation of the treatment will be provided to the investigator. A response rate will be calculated, which should be at least 50% of responders, defined as those cases rated as "Improvement," "Significant Improvement," or "Exceptional Improvement."

Time frame: At week 2

Evaluation by the subjects of the treatment's effectiveness.

A questionnaire for the final evaluation of the treatment will be provided to the patients. In an exploratory manner, global improvement in terms of the frequency and severity of symptoms will be assessed at the end of the treatment. A satisfaction rating of "Satisfied," "Very Satisfied," or "Exceptionally Satisfied" is expected in at least 50% of the cases. Additionally, the duration of the effect and the number of times drops were needed will be evaluated in comparison to other eye drops previously used (≥ 50% of patients rating the effect as at least as long-lasting and using the same or fewer daily drops compared to other eye drops used previously).
