About this study

Official title: Tear Dynamics After Restasis Treatment in Dry Eye Patients Phase II Clinical Trial and Phase IIb 6-month Follow-up After Discontinuation of Study Treatment

Observe the changes of tear volume in dry eye patients after Restasis treatment of 3 months and during 6-month follow-up after discontinuation of study treatment.

Read the detailed description

What is being measured

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

  1. Increase in tear volume after the 3-month treatment and returned to baseline during 6-month follow-up after discontinuation of study treatment.

    Measured: 3 months for treatment and follow-up of 6 months after discontinuation of study treatment.

  2. Tear meniscus volume after treatment

    Significant increase in tear meniscus volume was found in patients after 3 months of treatment.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dry Eye, run by University of Miami 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 8 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Apr 2017. 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. 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?

Increase in tear volume after the 3-month treatment and returned to baseline during 6-month follow-up after discontinuation of study treatment. (time frame: 3 months for treatment and follow-up of 6 months after discontinuation of study treatment.). The study lists 2 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 25 Apr 2017.
