Study design details

Main study objective

The main objective of this observational study is to describe treatment patterns for adult patients receiving Oxervate® for the cure of moderate and severe Neurotrophic Keratopathy to give insight on the utilization of this topical treatment in real-world clinical practice rather than strict conditions imposed by a formal clinical trial.

Outcomes

Data analysis plan

Summary descriptive statistics and rate calculation will be presented analyzing demographic data on patients (age, sex, ethnicity, race), prior disease data (disease course time of disease onset, date of diagnosis, symptoms at onset, past disease activity and stage), referral flow (patient from general practitioner/ophthalmologist, other hospital, other private clinic, Investigator, Emergency Room of the same center), treatment data (symptomatic therapies, previous and current therapies including Oxervate®, other therapies for other conditions), relevant clinical tests and clinical events of medical interest. The safety population which includes any patient who receives at least one treatment of Oxervate® regardless of the length of follow-up. Treatment exposure will be summarized in terms of compliance to treatment.
