Study summary

The purpose of this open, multicenter phase II trial is to confirm the tolerance and evaluate the efficacy of the SclerFIX product, an allograft of umbilical cord lining membrane, in reinforcement of scleral thinning in patients who underwent eye tumor exeresis.

Read the detailed description

As scleral graft is forbidden in France, it cannot be used to reinforce the sclera. This study investigational product, SclerFIX, was developed to substitute scleral grafts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of tectonic success of the graft at 3 months

    The graft will be considered successful at 3 months if the curvature of the eye is respected without thinning, i.e., in the absence of edema, ulceration and loss of substance (thickness of the grafted area/thickness of the adjacent surface \> 80%). The scleral thickness will be determined from images obtained by optical coherence tomography (OCT).

    Time frame: 3 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Absence of inflammatory reactions and good local tolerance of the implant

    Composite score evaluating the presence of local reactions (edema, redness, vascularization, discharge) and of ulceration, pain and foreign body sensation (0: excellent local tolerance, 46: worst possible local tolerance)

    Time frame: 15 days, 1 month, 3 months

  2. Evaluation of the visual acuity

    Scoring of blurred and poor vision (0: never, 4: all the time)

    Time frame: 15 days, 1 month, 3 months

  3. Evaluation of the eye pressure

    Measure of eye pressure using a tonometer

    Time frame: 15 days, 1 month, 3 months
