What is being measured

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

  1. Ocular Itching

    Ocular itching was evaluated by the participant at 3, 5, and 7 minutes post challenge. Assessments were made using a 0-4 numerical analog scale, allowing 0.5-unit increments (but disallowing 0.25-unit increments), where: 0.0 = None and 4.0 = Incapacitating itch with an irresistible urge to rub.

    Measured: 3, 5, and 7 minutes post challenge at 14 days

  2. Conjunctival Hyperemia

    Conjunctival hyperemia was evaluated by the Investigator at 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge. Assessments were completed using a 0-4 numerical analog scale, allowing 0.5-unit increments, where: 0.0 = None and 4.0 = Extremely severe.

    Measured: 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge at 14 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Ciliary Redness

    Ciliary hyperemia (redness) was evaluated by the Investigator at 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge. Assessments were made using a 0-4 scale, allowing 0.5- unit increments, with 0.0 = None and 4.0 = Extremely severe.

    Measured: 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge at 14 days

  2. Episcleral Redness

    Episcleral hyperemia (redness) was evaluated by the Investigator at 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge. Assessments were made using a 0-4 scale, allowing 0.5- unit increments, with 0.0 = None and 4.0 = Extremely severe.

    Measured: 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge at 14 days

  3. Chemosis

    Chemosis was evaluated by the Investigator at 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge on a 0-4 numerical analog scale, allowing 0.5-unit increments, where: 0.0 = None and 4.0 = Extremely severe.

    Measured: 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge at 14 days

  4. Eyelid Swelling

    Lid swelling was evaluated by the subject at 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge on a 0- 3 numerical analog scale, with 0.5-unit increments disallowed, where: 0.0 = None and 3.0 = Severe.

    Measured: 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge at 14 days

  5. Percentage of Eyes With Tearing

    Tearing was evaluated by the subject at 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge (absent or present). Tearing was recorded as either absent or present.

    Measured: 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge at 14 days

  6. Percentage of Eyes With Ocular Mucus Drainage

    Ocular mucous discharge was evaluated by the Investigator at 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge. Mucous discharged was recorded as either absent or present.

    Measured: 7, 15, and 20 minutes post challenge at 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ketotifen/naphazoline, Ketotifen and Naphazoline in people with Allergic Conjunctivitis, run by Bausch & Lomb Incorporated 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 3 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 3 Apr 2024. 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 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 27 Oct 2020). 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 (time frame: 3, 5, and 7 minutes post challenge at 14 days). 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 3 Apr 2024.
