Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All subjects must:
  • Be willing and able to provide written Informed Consent
  • Be able and willing to follow instructions and likely to complete the entire course of the study.
  • Be male or female of any race at least 18 years of age.
  • Have visually significant cataract for which they have elected to undergo cataract surgery.

Who cannot join

  • No subject may:
  • Known allergy or sensitivity to the study medication or its components
  • Contraindications to brimonidine therapy: concurrent use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor therapy
  • Have any active ocular disease other than glaucoma or ocular hypertension that would interfere with study parameters (such as: uveitis, ocular infection, or severe dry eye). Patients with mild chronic blepharitis, age-related macular degeneration, background diabetic retinopathy may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Any ocular surgery (including laser, refractive, intraocular filtering surgery, or any other ocular surgery) within 3 months.
  • Require use of ocular medications (including glaucoma medications), except intermittent use of artificial tears.

  • Have corneal abnormalities that would interfere with the ability to obtain an adequate sample safely or have a shallow anterior chamber which would make obtaining an aqueous sample difficult at the time of surgery in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Be concurrently enrolled in an investigational drug or device study or participation within the last 30 days in any investigational drug or device study.
  • Be pregnant, nursing, planning a pregnancy, or be of childbearing potential and not using a reliable form of contraception.
  • Have a situation or condition that in the investigator's opinion may put the subject at significant risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere significantly with participation in the study such as, significant cardiovascular disease, hepatic or renal impairment, depression, Raynaud's, orthostatic hypotension; uncontrolled high blood pressure. or concomitant use of other potential CNS depressants and tricyclics, (Amendment 1, May 25, 2005)

About this study

Official title: Absorption of Brimonidine Ophthalmic Solution in the Aqueous Humor of Cataract Patients.

The purpose of this study is to obtain and assay human aqueous samples following pre-operative dosing with 0.1% Brimonidine Purite™ (pH 7.8) or with 0.15% Brimonidine Purite® (pH 7.2) from patients undergoing routine cataract surgery in order to evaluate the aqueous concentration of the two formulations.Study hypothesis: The aqueous humor concentration 45 minutes following dosing of 0.1% Brimonidine Purite™ (pH 7.8) is comparable with 0.15% Brimonidine Purite® (pH 7.2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Brimonidine Purite in people with Cataract, run by Indiana University at 4 sites in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. 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 17 Oct 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bioanalysis of brimonidine concentrations.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00352807, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 Oct 2007.
