What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Systemic Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Systemic AEs are the events which are not localized but occur throughout the systemic circulation.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 8

  2. Percentage of Participants With Ocular Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Ocular AEs are the events which are localized in the ocular region.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 8

  3. Percentage of Participants With Ocular Tolerability Assessment

    Ocular tolerability assessment included evaluation of severity and duration of the 5 symptoms: burning/stinging, blurred vision, ocular discomfort, pain, tearing. Severity was assessed on a 4-point scale, where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe. Duration was assessed as immediate (if subsided within 5 minutes [<5 min] after application) or persistent (if continued beyond 5 minutes [>=5 min] after application).

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 8

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 10 Millimeter (mm) Schirmer Wetting Score Without Anesthesia at Week 8

    Schirmer test without anesthesia: well standardized test used to estimate tear flow stimulated reflexly by insertion of a filter paper strip into the conjunctival sac for 5 min. The length of wetting was recorded to the nearest 0.5 millimeter (mm). If the wetting line was oblique, halfway point was used. Results from study eye are reported. Study eye is the 'worse eye', defined as the eye with worse Schirmer test score without anesthesia score at baseline.

    Measured: Week 8

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Time to Achieve >= 10mm Schirmer Test Score Without Anesthesia

    Schirmer test without anesthesia: well standardized test used to estimate tear flow stimulated reflexly by insertion of a filter paper strip into the conjunctival sac for 5 min. The length of wetting was recorded to the nearest 0.5 mm. If the wetting line was oblique, halfway point was used. Results from study eye are reported. Study eye is the 'worse eye', defined as the eye with worse Schirmer test score without anesthesia score at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 8

  2. Time to Achieve 100 Percent (%) Clearance of Corneal Staining

    Corneal staining was assessed by instilling sodium fluorescein dye in the eye and after 1 to 2 minutes, observing for corneal staining with the aid of a yellow filter and slit lamp. The cornea was divided into five different zones and each corneal zone was graded independently using a 0 to 3 grading scale; where 0=none, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=severe. Results from study eye were to be reported. Study eye is the 'worse eye', defined as the eye with worse Schirmer test score without anesthesia score at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 8

  3. Time to Achieve >= 5 Units Decrease in Ocular Comfort Index (OCI) Score

    OCI: validated questionnaire to measure the frequency and intensity of 6 common dry eye symptoms: dryness, grittiness, stinging, eye tiredness, pain, and itching. It contained 12 questions, each measured on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (never) to 6 (always/severe). Total score was transformed to range of 0 to 100, higher score indicated more ocular discomfort. Negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 8

  4. Change From Baseline in Schirmer Wetting Score Without Anesthesia at Week 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8

    Schirmer test without anesthesia: well standardized test used to estimate tear flow stimulated reflexly by insertion of a filter paper strip into the conjunctival sac for 5 min.

Each corneal zone was graded independently using a 0 to 3 grading scale; where 0=none, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=severe. Sum of scores of each zone led to total score. Total score range: 0 to 15, higher score indicated greater staining. Results from study eye are reported. Study eye is the 'worse eye', defined as the eye with worse Schirmer test score without anesthesia score at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1, 2, 4, 6, 8

  9. Percentage of Participants Who Demonstrated 100% Clearance of Corneal Staining

    Corneal staining was assessed using fluorescein dye, yellow filter, slit lamp. Cornea was divided into 5 different zones. Each corneal zone was graded independently using 0 to 3 grading scale:0=none, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=severe. Sum of scores of each zone led to total score.

  18. Change From Baseline in Modified Ocular Comfort Index (mOCI) Raw Scores at Week 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8

    mOCI consisted of the original 12-item OCI plus additional questions on other dry eye symptoms and their impact to participant's life. Each item was measured on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (never) to 6 (always/severe). Negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1, 2, 4, 6, 8

  19. Change From Baseline in National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire 25-item Score (NEI-VFQ-25) at Week 8

    NEI-VFQ-25 questionnaire included 25 items based on which overall composite VFQ score and 12 subscales were derived: general health (GH), general vision (GV), ocular pain (OP), near activities (NAct), distance activities (DA), social functioning (SF), mental health (MH), role difficulties (RD), dependency, driving, color vision (CV) and peripheral vision (PV). Response to each question converted to 0-100 score. Each subscale, total score=average of items contributing to score. For each subscale and total score, score range: 0 to 100, higher score=less symptoms/better visual functioning.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing CP-690,550 and Cyclosporine in people with Dry Eye Syndromes, run by Pfizer at 27 sites 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 2 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 9 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 27 sites 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 9 Apr 2013). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Systemic Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Baseline up to Week 8). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00784719, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 9 Apr 2013.
