OBJECTIVES: Novel therapeutics are an important part of ophthalmologists'
armamentarium, and the risks and benefits of these therapies must be carefully
evaluated. We sought to quantify the characteristics of the pivotal clinical
trials supporting the regulatory approval of new ophthalmic drugs and medical
devices. DESIGN: Retrospective observational study. SETTING AND DATA SOURCE:
Medical review dossiers for new ophthalmic drug and high-risk device approvals
released publicly by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). MAIN OUTCOME
MEASURES: Proportion of pivotal trials with randomisation, masking, active or
placebo controls and subgroup analyses; total and median number of trial
enrollees; and the number of drugs and devices approved with required
postapproval studies. RESULTS: From 2002 to 2012, the FDA approved 11 ophthalmic
drugs and 25 devices. The pivotal trials underlying the approvals of ophthalmic
drugs in our study cohort enrolled a median of 809 patients. Virtually all drug
trials were randomised and masked (91%), of which 7 (70%) used a placebo control.
Pivotal trials for ophthalmic devices enrolled 324 patients on average, and
significantly fewer trials for ophthalmic devices versus drugs were randomised
(16% vs 91%; p<0.001) or masked (12% vs 91%; p<0.001). 8 (32%) ophthalmic devices
and 6 (55%) ophthalmic drugs were approved with required postapproval studies.
CONCLUSIONS: Ophthalmic therapeutics were approved based on varying levels of
evidence. Postapproval studies could be used to confirm or refute early
indications of safety and effectiveness of these therapeutics, with the study
results accessible to patients and clinicians who need to make informed treatment
decisions.
