What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Patients With Clearing (Clinical Success) of Conjunctival Erythema and Conjunctival Discharge at Day 7

    Percentage of patients that achieved clinical success, defined as a score of 0 for both conjunctival erythema and conjunctival discharge at Day 7. Conjunctival erythema and conjunctival discharge were each assessed on a 4-point severity grade scale (0=none, +1=mild, +2=moderate, +3=severe).

    Measured: Day 7

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Patients With Microbiological Improvement

    Percentage of patients with microbiological improvement, defined such that all bacteria present above threshold at Day 1 (Baseline) are eradicated (absent) or reduced at Day 7 based on a Classification of Microbial Response (Eradication=pathogen is absent in follow-up culture; Reduction=pathogen is reduced from baseline below threshold count in follow-up culture; Persistence=pathogen reduced from baseline but is above or equal to threshold count in follow-up culture; and Proliferation=pathogen has increased in count from baseline in follow-up culture).

    Measured: Day 7

  2. Percentage of Patients With Improvement in Ocular Signs for Lid Erythema

    Percentage of patients with at least a 1-grade improvement in ocular signs for lid erythema at Day 7 from Day 1 (Baseline). Lid erythema was assessed on a 4-point severity grade scale (0=none, +1=mild, +2=moderate, +3=severe).

    Measured: Days 7

  3. Percentage of Patients With Improvement in Ocular Signs for Conjunctival Discharge at Day 7

    Percentage of patients with at least a 1-grade improvement in ocular signs for conjunctival discharge at Day 7 from Day 1 (Baseline). Conjunctival discharge was assessed on a 4-point severity grade scale (0=none, +1=mild, +2=moderate,

    +3=severe).

    Measured: Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin 0.5% eye drops in people with Bacterial Conjunctivitis, run by Allergan at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 21 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States, Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Sep 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Patients With Clearing (Clinical Success) of Conjunctival Erythema and Conjunctival Discharge at Day 7 (time frame: Day 7). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 21 Sep 2011.
