About this study

Official title: An Evaluation of the Ocular Surface Health in Subjects Using TRAVATAN Z® Ophthalmic Solution Versus XALATAN® Ophthalmic Solution

The purpose of the study is to compare two ophthalmic solutions in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Conditions: Open-angle Glaucoma, Ocular Hypertension
Being tested: Travoprost ophthalmic solution 0.004% with SofZia® preservative system (TRAVATAN Z®), Latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005% (XALATAN®)
Medical subject headings: Glaucoma, Open-Angle, Ocular Hypertension

Also called TRAVATAN Z®
Ophthalmic solution for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, one drop a day, dosed topically for 90 days. Referred to as travoprost.
Latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005% (XALATAN®)Drug
Also called XALATAN®

Study groups in NCT00690794
Study group	Role	What they receive
Travoprost	Experimental	One drop self-administered in the study eye(s) once daily for 90 days Receives: Drug: Travoprost ophthalmic solution 0.004% with SofZia® preservative system (TRAVATAN Z®)
Latanoprost	Active comparator	One drop self-administered in the study eye(s) once daily for 90 days Receives: Drug: Latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005% (XALATAN®)

What is being measured

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

Mean Change at Day 90 From Baseline (Day 0) in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Score
The OSDI is a 12-question validated questionnaire (resultant overall 0-100 point score) used to measure ocular symptoms, visual function and environmental factors that may affect a patient's vision, where 0 = normal and 100 = severe. The OSDI questionnaire was administered at both visits and completed by the patient with no assistance from the office staff, physician, or anyone else. The baseline OSDI score was subtracted from the 90-day OSDI score and reported as change. A negative number represents a perceived improvement in ocular health.
Measured: Baseline, Day 90

Secondary outcomes (1)

Percentage of Patients With Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score = 0
The corneal surface was assessed by the investigator and graded on a scale of 0-3, where 0 = Absent (no staining present) and 3 = Severe (>50% coverage). Percentage of patients with score = 0 at 90 days was calculated by dividing the number of patients with score = 0 by the total number of patients analyzed.
Measured: Day 90

Participant flow

Group	Started	Completed
Travoprost	363	342
Latanoprost	363	328

Primary outcome: Mean Change at Day 90 From Baseline (Day 0) in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Score

Time frame: Baseline, Day 90. Mean (Standard Error). Unit: Units on a scale

Measure	Travoprost n = 339	Latanoprost n = 328
Value	-11.3 (0.9)	-11.4 (1.0)

Population analysed: Intent-to-treat. All patients who received test article and had at least one on-therapy study visit were evaluable for the intent-to-treat analysis. An Observed Case analysis (OC) was performed for the ITT population.

1 secondary outcome is reported in the full results.

Adverse events

Time frame: Adverse events were collected for the duration of the study: 03 July 2008 to 26 May 2009.. Other adverse events reported at 5% frequency or more

Group	Serious adverse events	Other adverse events	Deaths
Travoprost	5 of 363 (1.4%)	0 of 363 (0%)	Not reported
Latanoprost	7 of 363 (1.9%)	0 of 363 (0%)	Not reported

Limitations and caveats (from the sponsor): The subjective nature of the OSDI may not be sensitive enough to detect the effects of preservatives on the corneal surface. The measurement and quantification of OSD remains a considerable clinical challenge. (Pflugfelder and Baudoin, 2011)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 24 Jul 2012. 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.

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 3 Jul 2012). 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?

Mean Change at Day 90 From Baseline (Day 0) in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Score (time frame: Baseline, Day 90). 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 NCT00690794.

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 24 Jul 2012.
