Frequently asked questions about fluocinolone acetonide

What is fluocinolone acetonide used for?

Fluocinolone acetonide is being developed for the treatment of diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion, both retinal conditions that can impair vision. It is an intravitreal implant formulation studied in these ophthalmology indications. It is investigational and has not been approved for these uses.

Who makes fluocinolone acetonide?

Fluocinolone acetonide is being developed by Bausch + Lomb Corporation, which trades under the ticker BLCO. The company is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the intravitreal implant in retinal disease.

What phase is fluocinolone acetonide in?

Fluocinolone acetonide is in Phase 2 clinical development. The Phase 2 study was conducted in diabetic macular edema, and a separate early Phase 1 study was run in retinal vein occlusion. Both trials have been completed, and no trials are currently active.

What clinical trials is fluocinolone acetonide in?

Two completed trials are registered for fluocinolone acetonide. NCT00502541 was a Phase 2 study of the intravitreal implant in diabetic macular edema with 196 patients. NCT00636493 was an early Phase 1 study of the implant in retinal vein occlusion with 30 patients in the United States.

How was the Phase 2 trial of fluocinolone acetonide designed?

The Phase 2 trial NCT00502541 in diabetic macular edema enrolled 196 patients and was randomized, double blind, and active controlled. Participants were 18 years or older, and the study enrolled both sexes. The trial has been completed.
