What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • timololDrug

    One drop in the affected eye every morning from the morning bottle and one drop every evening from the evening bottle.

  • PhXA41Drug

    One drop in the affected eye every morning from the morning bottle and one drop every evening from the evening bottle

What is being measured

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

  1. to demonstrate the IOP-reducing effect of PhXA41 is comparable to that of timolol at the end of 6 months of treatment.

    Measured: 6 mos

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. to demonstrate the IOP-reducing effect of PhXA41 administered in the morning is equivalent the effect of PhXA41 administered in the evening

    Measured: 6 mos

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 3 inclusion and 13 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 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

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?

to demonstrate the IOP-reducing effect of PhXA41 is comparable to that of timolol at the end of 6 months of treatment. (time frame: 6 mos). 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 NCT00751062, 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.
