About this study

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the proportion of patients with cystinosis who experience a serious adverse effect when treated with a new formulation of cysteamine hydrochloride for corneal cystine accumulation.

II. Determine the proportion of patients with a reduction in corneal crystal density of 1.00 unit when treated with this regimen.

Read the detailed description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study Patients are randomized to receive the current formulation of cysteamine hydrochloride as drops in one eye and the new formulation of cysteamine hydrochloride as drops in the other eye.

Patients receive the two formulations of cysteamine hydrochloride in their assigned eyes every hour during waking hours daily for 6 months (safety study) or for 1 year (efficacy study).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cysteamine hydrochloride in people with Cystinosis, run by FDA Office of Orphan Products Development.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Mar 2015.
