Primary endpoints were the proportion of subjects with resolution of AC cells and grade 0 (no) pain at postoperative day 8. Safety outcomes included adverse events (AEs), ocular signs, fundoscopy results, visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), and tolerability (drop comfort and ocular symptoms).Results: The integrated intent-to-treat population included 742 subjects (LE gel 0.38% TID, n=371; vehicle, n=371). Significantly more subjects in the LE gel 0.38% TID group compared with the vehicle group had complete resolution of AC cells (29.6% vs 15.1%) and grade 0 pain (74.4% vs 48.8%) at day 8 (P<0.0001 for both). LE gel 0.38% TID was safe and well tolerated, with only 1 LE-treated subject experiencing an IOP elevation ≥10 mm Hg. Most treatment-related AEs were mild and occurred less frequently with LE gel 0.38% than with vehicle. The majority (>75%) of subjects in each treatment group reported no drop discomfort. There were no reports of blurred vision with LE gel.Conclusion: The results of this integrated analysis indicate that LE (submicron) gel 0.38% administered TID is safe and effective for the treatment of ocular inflammation and pain following cataract surgery, with minimal risk of IOP elevation.Keywords: cataract surgery, postoperative pain, postoperative inflammation, loteprednol etabonate, submicron, integrated analysisFong RCavet MEDeCory HHVittitow JLDove Medical PressarticleCataract surgeryPostoperative painPostoperative inflammationLoteprednol etabonateSubmicronIntegrated analysisOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 13, Pp 1427-1438 (2019) |
