Sunitinib malate-loaded biodegradable microspheres for the prevention of corneal neovascularization in rats.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Corneal neovascularization (NV) predisposes patients to compromised corneal transparency and visional acuity. Sunitinib malate (Sunb-malate) targeting against multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, exerts potent antiangiogenesis. However, the rapid clearance of Sunb-malate eye drops administered through topical instillation limits its therapeutic efficacy and poses a challenge for potential patient compliance. Sunb-malate, the water-soluble form of sunitinib, was shown to have higher intraocular penetration through transscleral diffusion following subconjunctival (SCT) injection in comparison to its sunitinib free base formulation. However, it is difficult to load highly water-soluble drugs and achieve sustained drug release. We developed Sunb-malate loaded poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres (Sunb-malate MS) with a particle size of approximately 15 μm and a drug loading of 7 wt%. Sunb-malate MS sustained the drug release for 30 days under the in vitro infinite sink condition. Subconjunctival (SCT) injection of Sunb-malate MS provided a prolonged ocular drug retention and did not cause ocular toxicity at a dose of 150 μg of active agent. Sunb-malate MS following SCT injection more effectively suppressed the suture-induced corneal NV than either Sunb-malate free drug or the placebo MS. Local sustained release of Sunb-malate through the SCT injection of Sunb-malate MS mitigated the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells and the recruitment of mural cells into the cornea. Moreover, the gene upregulation of proangiogenic factors induced by the pathological process was greatly neutralized by SCT injection of Sunb-malate MS. Our findings provide a sustained release platform for local delivery of tyrosine kinase inhibitors to treat corneal NV.
