Comparison of the Healing Properties on Corneal Cells of Groth Factor-enriched Plasma and Autologous Serum From Aniridia Patients
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Peripheral venous blood sample: 2.5% of body weight
Conjunctival impression: Collection of the most superficial conjunctival epithelial cells (desquamating) in a non- or minimally invasive, quick and almost painless way, for a biological analysis of ocular surface diseases. Application of a filter paper on the bulbar conjunctiva, under local anesthesia.
Study summary
Keratopathy of patients with aniridia leads to epithelial scarring disorders and a progressive clouding of the cornea linked to this abnormal healing (fibrosis). Treatment with autologous serum is usually undertaken to promote epithelial healing.
However, autologous serum does not prevent the formation of fibrosis, whereas growth factor-rich plasma appears to be associated with a reduction in the in vitro expression of fibrosis markers. This study seeks to compare the in vitro healing and anti-fibrotic properties of autologous serum and growth factor rich plasma from aniridia patients and healthy controls.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- In vitro comparison of the corneal cell healing properties of autologous serum and plasma enriched with growth factors from blood of aniridia patients — Sampling done at baseline
The corneal cell healing properties are evaluated by the time to reach confluence (number of hours) of epithelial cells, using a standardized wound healing assay (Incucyte, Essenbioscience). The corneal cell healing properties will be comparated between autologous serum, and plasma enriched with growth factors from blood of aniridia patients
