United States91 participantsStarted 2020-03-03

Plain-language summary

SURF-201 is being studied for the treatment of eye inflammation and pain in people who are undergoing cataract surgery. SURF-201 is an investigational drug (which means the study drug is currently being tested) in the form of a sterile eye drop. The purpose of this research study is to see how well SURF-201 works and what side effects there are, and to compare it with Vehicle (placebo). This study will involve about 80 study participants at several different research sites in the United States.

Inclusion criteria

. Adult subjects age 18 years or older scheduled for uncomplicated unilateral cataract surgery with posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
. Subjects must be able to understand and sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF).
. Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to and submit a negative urine pregnancy test before any study-specific procedures are performed. The subjects must be using and continue to use a suitable method of contraception for the duration of the study: spermicide with barrier, oral contraceptive, transdermal contraceptive, injectable or implantable contraceptive, intrauterine device (IUD), abstinence or surgical sterilization of a partner. If a subject is not of childbearing potential (e.g., has been postmenopausal for at least 12 months or is premenarchal, or has undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or a bilateral tubal ligation), a urine pregnancy test and use of a suitable method of contraception for the duration of the study will not be required.
. Subjects must have a best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of at least +1.0 log of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) (Snellen equivalent of 20/200) in the non-study eye (fellow eye).

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
