Safety and efficacy of a novel 0.5% epinastine topical eyelid cream in allergic conjunctivitis: a phase 3 trial.

The high prevalence of allergic conjunctivitis in Japan necessitates novel, easy-to-use treatment options for prophylactic use. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of a newly-developed 0.5% epinastine topical eyelid cream to prevent the development of allergic conjunctivitis. This was a phase 3, single-centre, double-masked, intra-patient randomised trial in asymptomatic adults (aged 20-65 years) with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis in Japan. The left and right eyes of eligible patients were randomised to receive a topical application of either 0.5% epinastine cream (~ 30 mg per dose) to one eye or placebo cream to the other (on the outer skin of the upper and lower eyelids) after a conjunctival antigen challenge (CAC) test. Symptom severity was assessed up to 24 h post-treatment. Primary efficacy endpoints were mean ocular itching and conjunctival hyperaemia severity scores in each eye; safety endpoints included adverse events (AEs) and adverse drug reaction (ADRs). In total, 30 patients (60 eyes) were included in the study. The 0.5% epinastine topical eyelid cream reduced mean ocular itching scores (difference in least squares means ± standard error, - 1.12 ± 0.214; p < 0.0001) and mean conjunctival hyperaemia scores (- 0.54 ± 0.197; p = 0.0097) 24 h after treatment versus placebo. The 0.5% epinastine topical eyelid cream was well tolerated, with no AEs or ADRs reported. With its novel route of administration, 0.5% epinastine topical eyelid cream may be considered a unique, easy-to-use, once-daily treatment option to prevent the onset of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.

Clinical utility of swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography for the diagnosis of exudative maculopathy.

To assess the feasibility of swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) to differentiate macular diseases, including nonpolypoidal macular neovascularization (MNV), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), type 3 MNV, and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) without indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). Retrospective observational study. This study examined 63 eyes of 63 patients with treatment-naive neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), including 23 eyes with nonpolypoidal MNV, 17 eyes with PCV, and 1 eye with type 3 MNV and 22 eyes with chronic CSC. Two independent retina specialists, blinded to the clinical diagnosis, assessed each case of neovascular AMD and chronic CSC using only B-scan and en face images of SS-OCTA without referring to other examination outcomes. By SS-OCTA alone, 19 eyes were diagnosed with nonpolypoidal MNV, 17 eyes with PCV, 2 eyes with type 3 MNV, and 22 eyes with chronic CSC, indicating high sensitivity (82.6%, 94.1%, 100%, and 100%, respectively) and specificity (100%, 97.8%, 98.4%, and 100%, respectively); however, three eyes could not be diagnosed because of obscure images. The agreement of diagnosis with SS-OCTA alone was high between the two specialists (κ = 0.82). SS-OCTA showed high sensitivity and specificity in the differentiation of nonpolypoidal MNV, PCV, type 3 MNV, and chronic CSC. The differential criteria based on SS-OCTA could be a substitute for the ICGA-based diagnoses.
