- W2010385231 abstract "Background Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a severe though transient form of ocular allergy, predominant in young males, which requires careful management. Corticosteroids are effective but also cause serious topical side-effects in the eye, such as glaucoma and cataracts. The safer, mast cell stabilizing anti-inflammatories (commonly sodium cromoglycate) therefore have an important role. This parallel group study compared efficacy, tolerability and safety of sodium cromoglycate 2% with nedocromil sodium 2%, administered as one drop per eye four times daily for a period of 5 months. Methods Children aged 4–17 years, with a diagnosis of mostly limbal VKC in the last 12 months, entered a 2-week baseline during which they used only artificial tears, and were then randomized to treatment, in groups of 18, on an investigator single-masked basis. Daily symptom diary cards were kept by patients/guardians, and VKC was assessed by the clinician at approximately monthly intervals. Dexamethasone was provided for rescue control of severe symptoms, if needed. Results A total of 34 patients completed the study.Both trial treatments produced rapid improvements and many ocular signs and symptoms, including Trantas' dots, chemosis, itching, soreness and sticky discharge, were fully controlled by the end of the study. However, nedocromil sodium took effect more quickly, with a significant reduction compared to sodium cromoglycate for itching, grittiness, hyperaemia and keratitis within 6 weeks. In addition, nedocromil sodium was the more efficacious overall (significant vs sodium cromoglycate for hyperaemia, keratitis, papillae and pannus at 22 weeks). Both treatments were well tolerated and without serious adverse effects. Final opinions favoured nedocromil sodium, with full control of VKC recorded for 94% (patient opinion) and 100% (clinician opinion) of this treatment group, compared with 29% and 0%, respectively, in the sodium cromoglycate group. Conclusions Nedocromil sodium 2% eye drops is significantly more effective than sodium cromoglycate for treatment of VKC." @default.
