Study summary

This protocol for SUN-131 1.5% TDS is developed for the treatment of chalazion. SUN-131 1.5% TDS is designed for local delivery of a corticosteroid, to the upper or lower eyelid. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SUN-131 1.5% TDS as compared with placebo TDS in the treatment of a chalazion.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Subjects aged ≥ 6 years of either sex and of any race
  2. Subjects with a diagnosis of a single chalazion
  3. Subjects with chalazion erythema score of ≥ 1
  4. Normal eyelid function without active signs of eye and eyelid infection in either eye.
  5. Must be willing and able to correctly apply and wear a transdermal patch to the eyelid
  6. Avoid wearing contact lenses in the study eye

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Chalazion that has atypical features (a recurring chalazion at the same spot, abnormal surrounding lid tissue, associated loss of tissues).
  2. History of chalazion incision and curettage in study eyelid.
  3. Multiple chalazia in any one eyelid.
  4. Active ocular or eyelid infection Presence of hordeolum in any one eyelid.
  5. An abnormal skin condition on the study eyelid region (e.g., eczema, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, etc.) where the study drug will be applied.
  6. Diagnosed with glaucoma in either eye.
  7. History of -induced elevation of IOP.
  8. Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The Proportions of Participants Who Experienced Complete Response of the Study Chalazion by Day 15 ± 1

    Complete response was defined as the absence of any significant clinical signs of a chalazion, based on clinical judgment by an investigator.

    Time frame: Baseline to Day 15 ± 1

Secondary outcomes

  1. The Proportions of Participants Who Experienced Complete Response of the Study Chalazion With Upper Eyelid by Day 15 ± 1

    Complete response was defined as the absence of any significant clinical signs of a chalazion, based on clinical judgment by an investigator.

    Time frame: Baseline to Day 15 ± 1
