What is being measured

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

  1. Ocular Itching at Baseline (Day 0)

    A baseline CAC was performed on Day 0. Post-CAC ocular itching from Day 0 will be compared to post-CAC ocular itching, post-instillation, on Day 6, Day 7, Day 27 and Day 28. Ocular itching was assessed by the patient on a 0-4 scale (0=none to 4=severe). Average of ocular itching score over both eyes was analyzed.

    Measured: 3, 5, 7 minutes post-CAC

  2. Ocular Itching at Day 6

    Post-CAC ocular itching from Day 0 will be compared to post-CAC ocular itching, post-instillation, on Day 6. Ocular itching was assessed by the patient on a 0-4 scale (0=none to 4=severe). Average of ocular itching score over both eyes was analyzed.

    Measured: 3, 5, 7 minutes post-CAC

  3. Ocular Itching at Day 7

    Post-CAC ocular itching from Day 0 will be compared to post-CAC ocular itching, post-instillation, on Day 7. Ocular itching was assessed by the patient on a 0-4 scale (0=none to 4=severe). Average of ocular itching score over both eyes was analyzed.

    Measured: 3, 5, 7 minutes post-CAC

  4. Ocular Itching at Day 27

    Post-CAC ocular itching from Day 0 will be compared to post-CAC ocular itching, post-instillation, on Day 27. Ocular itching was assessed by the patient on a 0-4 scale (0=none to 4=severe). Average of ocular itching score over both eyes was analyzed.

    Measured: 3, 5, 7 minutes post-CAC

  5. Ocular Itching at Day 28

    Post-CAC ocular itching from Day 0 will be compared to post-CAC ocular itching, post-instillation, on Day 28. Ocular itching was assessed by the patient on a 0-4 scale (0=none to 4=severe). Average of ocular itching score over both eyes was analyzed.

    Measured: 3, 5, 7 minutes post-CAC

  6. Ocular Redness at Baseline (Day 0)

    A baseline CAC was performed on Day 0. Post-CAC ocular redness from Day 0 will be compared to post-CAC ocular redness, post-instillation, on Day 6, Day 7, Day 27 and Day 28. Ocular redness was assessed by the patient on a 0-4 scale (0=none to 4=severe). Average of ocular redness score over both eyes was analyzed.

    Measured: 7, 15, 20 minutes post-CAC

  7. Ocular Redness at Day 6

    Post-CAC ocular redness from Day 0 will be compared to post-CAC ocular redness, post-instillation, on Day 6. Ocular redness was assessed by the patient on a 0-4 scale (0=none to 4=severe). Average of ocular redness score over both eyes was analyzed.

    Measured: 7, 15, 20 minutes post-CAC

  8. Ocular Redness at Day 7

    Post-CAC ocular redness from Day 0 will be compared to post-CAC ocular redness, post-instillation, on Day 7. Ocular redness was assessed by the patient on a 0-4 scale (0=none to 4=severe). Average of ocular redness score over both eyes was analyzed.

    Measured: 7, 15, 20 minutes post-CAC

  9. Ocular Redness at Day 27

    Post-CAC ocular redness from Day 0 will be compared to post-CAC ocular redness, post-instillation, on Day 27. Ocular redness was assessed by the patient on a 0-4 scale (0=none to 4=severe). Average of ocular redness score over both eyes was analyzed.

    Measured: 7, 15, 20 minutes post-CAC

  10. Ocular Redness at Day 28

    Post-CAC ocular redness from Day 0 will be compared to post-CAC ocular redness, post-instillation, on Day 28. Ocular redness was assessed by the patient on a 0-4 scale (0=none to 4=severe). Average of ocular redness score over both eyes was analyzed.

    Measured: 7, 15, 20 minutes post-CAC

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Prednisolone Acetate 1%, Prednisolone Acetate 0.12% and Loteprednol Etabonate 0.2% in people with Allergic Conjunctivitis, run by ORA, Inc. at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 2 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. 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 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 15 Nov 2018). 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?

Ocular Itching at Baseline (Day 0) (time frame: 3, 5, 7 minutes post-CAC). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Sep 2020.
