What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Patients With Clearing (Clinical Success) of Conjunctival Hyperemia and Conjunctival Discharge Up to Day 6
Percentage of patients that achieved clinical success, defined as achievement of a score of zero for both conjunctival hyperemia and conjunctival discharge in the study eye up to Day 6. Conjunctival hyperemia and conjunctival discharge were each assessed on a 4-point severity grade scale (0=none, +1=mild, +2=moderate, +3=severe).
Measured: 6 Days
Secondary outcomes (4)
Percentage of Patients With Clearing (Clinical Success) of Conjunctival Hyperemia and Conjunctival Discharge at Day 6
Percentage of patients that achieved clinical success, defined as achievement of a score of zero for both conjunctival hyperemia and conjunctival discharge in the study eye at Day 6. Conjunctival hyperemia and conjunctival discharge were each assessed on a 4-point severity grade scale (0=none, +1=mild, +2=moderate, +3=severe).
Measured: Day 6
Percentage of Patients With Microbiological Cure Up to Day 6
Percentage of patients with microbiological cure, defined such that all bacteria present in the study eye at Day 1 (Baseline) are eradicated up to Day 6 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: 6 Days
Percentage of Patients With Clinical Improvement of Ocular Signs Up to Day 6
Percentage of patients with clinical improvement of ocular signs up to Day 6 based on a 4-point scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe), defined as a decrease (improvement) from Day 1 (Baseline) in the total score of conjunctival hyperemia and mucopurulent discharge (pus), with no increase (worsening) from Day 1 (Baseline) in either individual variable in the study eye.
Measured: 6 Days
Percentage of Patients With Clinical Improvement of Ocular Symptoms Up to Day 6
Percentage of patients with clinical improvement of ocular symptoms, defined as a decrease (improvement) up to Day 6 from Day 1 (Baseline) in the total score of itching and tearing (each on 4-point scale: 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe), with no increase (worsening) from Day 1 (Baseline) in any individual score in the study eye diagnosed with bacterial conjunctivitis.
Measured: 6 Days

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2019. 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, India. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 30 Nov 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 Hyperemia and Conjunctival Discharge Up to Day 6 (time frame: 6 Days). 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 NCT00518089, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 23 Apr 2019.
