Scientific titlePrevention of pseudophakic cystoid macula oedema with pre- and post-operative ketorolac
Study hypothesisTo assess whether patients treated with ketorolac 3 days pre- and 3 weeks post-operatively in combination with post-operative steroid drops have a lower incidence of cystoid macula oedema (CMO) following cataract surgery than those receiving standard clinical care (pre-operative topical flurbiprofen 1 hour prior to surgery and post-operative steroid drops).
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval pending as of 07/07/2008. London-Surrey Borders ethics committee will be meeting on 9th July 2008.
ConditionCystoid macular oedema (CMO)
Intervention1. Intervention: ketorolac eye drops (0.4%) - 1 eye drop 4 times a day for 3 days before the operation and 3 weeks after the operation
2. Control arm: usual clinical care - 1 drop of flurbiprofen eye drop 1 hour before surgery and Maxidex® eye drop three times a day for 3 weeks post-cataract surgery
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Ketorolac
Primary outcome measureCentral macula thickness as measured on optical coherence tomography at baseline (prior to surgery), 1 month after surgery, 2 months after surgery and 3 months after surgery.
Secondary outcome measures1. Logarithmic minimal angle of resolution (LogMAR) visual acuity
2. Contrast sensitivity
3. Adverse events

The secondary outcomes will be measured at baseline (prior to surgery), 1 month after surgery, 2 months after surgery and 3 months after surgery.
Overall study start date12/07/2008
Overall study end date12/10/2009
Reason abandoned (if study stopped)Lack of funding/sponsorship
