Evaluation of corneal epithelial wound healing after penetrating keratoplasty in patients receiving a new matrix therapy agent (regenerating agent).

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Complete epithelial wound healing is a milestone in early postoperative care after penetrating keratoplasty. The re-epithelialization rate after penetrating keratoplasty was measured in patients receiving a new matrix therapy agent (regenerating agent, Cacicol®) that mimics heparan sulphates. METHODS:This was a prospective, open-label, uncontrolled, single-centre observational study. A total of 33 consecutive patients (33 eyes) who underwent an 8.25-mm diameter penetrating keratoplasty were treated with regenerating agent eye drops: one drop in the operating theatre immediately after graft, then on alternate days. Patients were divided into those at low risk (13 patients) and high risk (20 patients) of delayed wound healing, and follow-up was performed by digital slit lamp with fluorescein-dye testing repeated daily at a fixed time. Dye area was measured using ImageJ freeware. The main endpoint was epithelial healing after regenerating agent therapy. RESULTS:The mean ± standard deviation time to complete healing for all patients was 2.7 ± 1.1 (median: 3, range: 1-6) days. This was obtained on Day 1 for 15% of patients, Day 2 for 33%, Day 3 for 88%, Day 4 for 94% and Day 6 for 100%. There was no significant difference between low- and high-risk patients. The area of epithelial defect decreased by a mean ± standard deviation of 75% ± 22% between Day 1 and Day 2, corresponding to a mean ± standard deviation wound-healing rate of 11.5 ± 6.5 mm2/D. There were no systemic or local side effects related to regenerating agent. CONCLUSION:These preliminary data suggest that regenerating agent could be a useful, non-invasive therapeutic approach in postoperative management of penetrating keratoplasty with the potential to accelerate re-epithelialization.
