To compare the safety of 0.05% and 0.1% water-free cyclosporine formulation (CyclASol) with vehicle and 0.05% cyclosporine (CsA) in patients with dry eye disease (DED).
A systematic review with meta-analysis, reporting on the safety of CyclASol in patients with DED in three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science until 4 April 2025), was performed according to the PRISMA statement.
Four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, encompassing 1575 eyes from 1575 patients. The meta-analysis revealed no significant difference in the likelihood of experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) between CyclASol and control groups (risk ratio [RR]: 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85-1.12; P = 0.72; I = 43%) (rate CyclASol: 30.3% [240 eyes]; rate controls: 30.9% [243 eyes]; rate difference: -0.6%). Similar results were observed for ocular TEAEs (RR: 1.00; 95% CI 0.78-1.30; P = 0.97; I = 0%) (rate CyclASol: 3.6% [95 eyes]; rate controls: 3.7% [93 eyes]; rate difference: -0.1%). Regarding sensitivity analyses, no significant difference in the likelihood of TEAEs was observed between CyclASol and vehicle groups (RR: 1.02; 95% CI 0.88-1.18; P = 0.83; I = 44%) (rate CyclASol: 32.5% [240 eyes]; rate vehicle: 30.3% [222 eyes]; rate difference: 2.2%). Comparable results were found for ocular TEAEs (RR: 1.07; 95% CI 0.81-1.41; P = 0.65; I = 0%) (rate CyclASol: 4.1% [95 eyes]; rate vehicle: 3.6% [85 eyes]; rate difference: 0.5%). Similarly, no statistically significant differences in TEAEs were observed when comparing CyclASol with 0.05% CsA (RR: 0.74; 95% CI 0.51-1.09; P = 0.13; I = 5%) (rate CyclASol: 29.4% [30 eyes]; rate CsA: 39.6% [21 eyes]; rate difference: -10.2%). Ocular TEAEs also remained comparable between groups (RR: 0.67; 95% CI 0.32-1.41; P = 0.29; I = 0%) (rate CyclASol: 2.8% [10 eyes]; rate CsA: 3.7% [8 eyes]; rate difference: -0.9%).
Based on the data presented in the meta-analysis, CyclASol is a safe treatment for patients with DED. However, the comparable likelihood of experiencing TEAEs and ocular TEAEs between CyclASol and 0.05% CsA suggests that there is not sufficient evidence to indicate a superior safety profile of CyclASol over commercially available CsA.
比较0.05%和0.1%无水环孢素制剂(CyclASol)与赋形剂及0.05%环孢素(CsA)在干眼症(DED)患者中的安全性。
根据PRISMA声明,对三个数据库(截至2025年4月4日的PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science)中有关CyclASol在DED患者中的安全性进行了一项系统评价和荟萃分析。
纳入了四项随机对照试验(RCT),涉及1575例患者的1575只眼睛。荟萃分析显示,CyclASol组与对照组之间出现治疗中出现的不良事件(TEAE)的可能性无显著差异(风险比[RR]:0.98;95%置信区间[CI] 0.85 - 1.12;P = 0.72;I = 43%)(CyclASol发生率:30.3% [240只眼];对照组发生率:30.9% [243只眼];率差:-0.6%)。眼部TEAE也观察到类似结果(RR:1.00;95% CI 0.78 - 1.30;P = 0.97;I = 0%)(CyclASol发生率:3.6% [95只眼];对照组发生率:3.7% [93只眼];率差:-0.1%)。关于敏感性分析,CyclASol组与赋形剂组之间出现TEAE的可能性无显著差异(RR:1.02;95% CI 0.88 - 1.18;P =
0.83;I = 44%)(CyclASol发生率:32.5% [240只眼];赋形剂发生率:30.3% [222只眼];率差:2.2%)。眼部TEAE也得到了类似结果(RR:1.07;95% CI 0.81 - 1.41;P = 0.65;I = 0%)(CyclASol发生率:4.1% [95只眼];赋形剂发生率:3.6% [85只眼];率差:0.5%)。同样,将CyclASol与0.05% CsA比较时,TEAE也无统计学显著差异(RR:0.74;95% CI 0.51 - 1.09;P = 0.13;I = 5%)(CyclASol发生率:29.4% [30只眼];CsA发生率:39.6% [21只眼];率差:-10.2%)。两组之间的眼部TEAE也相当(RR:0.67;95% CI 0.32 - 1.41;P = 0.2
9;I = 0%)(CyclASol发生率:2.8% [10只眼];CsA发生率:3.7% [8只眼];率差:-0.9%)。
基于荟萃分析中呈现的数据,CyclASol对DED患者是一种安全的治疗方法。然而,CyclASol与0.05% CsA之间出现TEAE和眼部TEAE的可能性相当,这表明没有足够的证据表明CyclASol的安全性优于市售的CsA。
