What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Pterygium Hyperemia Responders at Week 16

    Number of pterygium hyperemia responders at Week 16 as measured by the Pterygium Hyperemia Grading Scale. The Pterygium Hyperemia Grading Scale is a 6-point scale (0=absent, 1=trace, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=moderately severe, 5=severe). A responder is defined as a patient demonstrating at least a 2-grade decrease from baseline in pterygium hyperemia.

    Measured: Week 16

  2. Change From Baseline in Severity Grade of Pterygium Hyperemia at Week 16

    Change from Baseline in Severity Grade of Pterygium Hyperemia at Week 16. The Pterygium Hyperemia Grading Scale is a 6-point scale (0=absent, 1=trace, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=moderately severe, 5=severe). A negative number change from baseline is an improvement and a positive number change from baseline is a worsening.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change From Baseline in Ocular Surface Disease Index© (OSDI©) Questionnaire Score at Week 16

    Change from baseline in Ocular Surface Disease Index© (OSDI©) Questionnaire score at Week 16. The OSDI© is a 12-question survey for patients to document their dry eye disease symptoms. Each question is rated on a 5-point scale (0=none of the time and 4 = all of the time). The scores are totaled over the 12 questions and normalized/converted to a score of 0-100 (0=no disability and 100=complete disability). A negative number change from baseline represents an improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 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 25 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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 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?

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?

Number of Pterygium Hyperemia Responders at Week 16 (time frame: Week 16). 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?
