Published Studies Related to Kenalog (Triamcinolone Topical)
Comparison of the efficacy of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide and
5-fluorouracil tattooing for the treatment of keloids. [2012]
for treatment of keloids... CONCLUSION: 5-FU tattooing was more effective than intralesional TAC for the
Intravitreal triamcinolone versus laser photocoagulation as a primary treatment for diabetic macular oedema - a comparative pilot study. [2011.11.23]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Diabetic macular oedema is the leading causes of blindness. Laser photocoagulation reduces the risk of visual loss. However recurrences are common and despite laser treatment, patients with diabetic macular oedema experienced progressive loss of vision. Stabilization of the blood retinal barrier introduces a rationale for intravitreal triamcinolone treatment in diabetic macular oedema. This study is intended to compare the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and the macular oedema index (MEI) at 3 month of primary treatment for diabetic macular oedema between intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) and laser photocoagulation... CONCLUSIONS: IVTA demonstrates good outcome comparable to laser photocoagulation as a primary treatment for diabetic macular oedema at three months post treatment. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ISRCTN05040192 (http://www.controlled-trial.com).
Effects of intracameral triamcinolone and gentamicin injections following cataract surgery. [2011.07]
CONCLUSION: Intracameral injections of triamcinolone acetonide and gentamicin appear to be a promising treatment option for the control of post-operative inflammation following cataract surgery.
Randomized trial evaluating short-term effects of intravitreal ranibizumab or triamcinolone acetonide on macular edema after focal/grid laser for diabetic macular edema in eyes also receiving panretinal photocoagulation. [2011.06]
PURPOSE: To evaluate 14-week effects of intravitreal ranibizumab or triamcinolone in eyes receiving focal/grid laser for diabetic macular edema and panretinal photocoagulation... CONCLUSION: The addition of 1 intravitreal triamcinolone injection or 2 intravitreal ranibizumab injections in eyes receiving focal/grid laser for diabetic macular edema and panretinal photocoagulation is associated with better visual acuity and decreased macular edema by 14 weeks. Whether continued long-term intravitreal treatment is beneficial cannot be determined from this study.
Application of triamcinolone acetonide paste to the endotracheal tube reduces postoperative sore throat: a randomized controlled trial. [2011.05]
PURPOSE: This study was performed to examine whether applying triamcinolone acetonide paste as a lubricant to endotracheal tubes (ETTs) reduces the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat (POST) more effectively than applying chlorhexidine gluconate jelly... CONCLUSIONS: Triamcinolone acetonide paste applied along the length of the ETT resulted in clinically important and statistically significant decreases in the incidence and severity of POST compared with the application of chlorhexidine jelly. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00908817).
Clinical Trials Related to Kenalog (Triamcinolone Topical)
A Pilot Study of Peribulbar Triamcinolone Acetonide for Diabetic Macular Edema [Completed]
The study involves the enrollment of patients over 18 years of age with diabetic macular
edema involving the center of the macula who have not already been given maximal laser
treatment.
Patients with one study eye will be randomly assigned (stratified by prior laser) with equal
probability to one of five treatment groups:
1. Focal laser photocoagulation (modified ETDRS technique)
2. Posterior peribulbar injection of 40 mg triamcinolone (Kenalog)
3. Anterior peribulbar injection of 20 mg triamcinolone
4. Posterior peribulbar injection of 40 mg triamcinolone followed after one month by laser
5. Anterior peribulbar injection of 20 mg triamcinolone followed after one month by laser
For patients with two study eyes (both eyes eligible at the time of randomization), the right
eye (stratified by prior laser) will be randomly assigned with equal probabilities to one of
the five treatment groups listed above. If the right eye was assigned to laser only, then the
left eye will be assigned to one of the four triamcinolone groups above with equal
probability (stratified by prior laser). If the right eye was assigned to receive
triamcinolone, then the left eye will receive laser only.
Triamcinolone acetonide will be the corticosteroid utilized in this study. The triamcinolone
acetonide preparation to be used is Kenalog. Kenalog is manufactured by Bristol Myers Squibb
and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for intramuscular use for a variety of
indications. Peribulbar injections of Kenalog have been used for a wide variety of ocular
conditions, particularly uveitis and post-cataract extraction cystoid macular edema, for many
years.
Two different triamcinolone regimens will be assessed in the study: 40 mg injected
posteriorly and 20 mg injected anteriorly. There is no indication of which treatment regimen
will be better. Although the injection behind the eye is more common than the injection near
the front of the eye, the injection near the front of the eye has less risk of injuring the
eye. However, it is possible that the injection near the front of the eye may increase eye
pressure more frequently. Little is known about which of the two injections decreases macular
edema and improves vision more often.
Patients enrolled into the study will be followed for three years and will have study visits
1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 8 months and annually after receiving their assigned study
treatment. For the first 8 months of the study, patients should only be retreated with their
randomized treatment. However, if the patient's visual acuity has decreased by 15 letters or
more, then any treatment may be given at the investigator's discretion. After completion of
the 8-month visit, treatment is at investigator discretion.
The primary objective of this study is to obtain estimates of efficacy and safety outcomes
for each of the treatment groups. These estimates will provide a basis for the sample size
estimation and hypothesis generation in a phase III trial.
Adrenal Function and Use of Intralesional Triamcinolone Acetonide 10 mg/mL (Kenalog-10) in Patients With Alopecia Areata [Recruiting]
The purpose of the study is to see whether treating alopecia areata with injections of the
corticosteroid, Triamcinolone acetonide 10mg/cc (Kenalog-10), has an impact on the adrenal
glands.
Intravitreal Triamcinolone Acetonide Versus Laser for Diabetic Macular Edema [Active, not recruiting]
The study involves the enrollment of patients over 18 years of age with diabetic macular
edema. Patients with one study eye will be randomly assigned (stratified by visual acuity and
prior laser) with equal probability to one of the three treatment groups:
1. Laser photocoagulation
2. 1mg intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection
3. 4mg intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection
For patients with two study eyes (both eyes eligible at the time of randomization), the right
eye (stratified by visual acuity and prior laser) will be randomly assigned with equal
probabilities to one of the three treatment groups listed above. The left eye will be
assigned to the alternative treatment (laser or triamcinolone). If the left eye is assigned
to triamcinolone, then the dose (1mg or 4 mg) will be randomly assigned to the left eye with
equal probability (stratified by visual acuity and prior laser).
The study drug, triamcinolone acetonide, has been manufactured as a sterile intravitreal
injectable by Allergan. Study eyes assigned to an intravitreal triamcinolone injection will
receive a dose of either 1mg or 4mg. There is no indication of which treatment regimen will
be better.
Patients enrolled into the study will be followed for three years and will have study visits
every 4 months after receiving their assigned study treatment. In addition, standard of care
post-treatment visits will be performed at 4 weeks after each intravitreal injection.
Study Of Combined VISUDYNE Therapy With Kenalog In CNV Secondary To Age-Related Macular Degeneration [Completed]
To determine whether VISUDYNE therapy in combination with 4 mg intravitreal triamcinolone
will reduce the average loss from baseline of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) as compared
with Visudyne therapy without intravitreal triamcinolone at 12 months in subjects with occult
subfoveal and minimally classic subfoveal CNV secondary to AMD. The intravitreal
triamcinolone will be given as either a 1 mg or 4 mg dose. This study will also evaluate the
safety of Visudyne therapy in combination with intravitreal triamcinolone. An interim
statistical readout will be performed when the first 60 patients have completed 6 months of
follow-up evaluation.
Will the Use of Triesence During Glaucoma Surgery Provide Lower Eye Pressure and Improve the Results of the Surgery? [Recruiting]
The investigators hypothesize that intracameral Triesence during glaucoma surgery will
provide lower intraocular pressure through better control of ocular inflammation, thus
leading to a more successful filtering procedure.
