What is being measured

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

  1. Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) - Mean Change in Total Score

    Responses to questions relating to symptoms and daily activities in the RQLQ were provided for 28 questions encompassing the 7 major domains of activities, sleep, non-nose/eye symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, and emotional state. Each response to an RQLQ question was provided on a scale of 0-6 units, where 0 = not troubled/none of the time and 6 = extremely troubled/all of the time. The minimum total score was 0 units and the maximum total score was 42 units, with higher score indicating decreased quality of life due to rhinoconjunctivitis.

    Measured: Baseline, 14 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline for Twice Daily (BID) Averaged Reflective Ocular Itching Scores Over the Treatment Period

    Ocular itching was graded on a 4-point scale (0-3 units; 0=Absent, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe) twice daily in the Screening Diary (Day -7 to Day -1) and the Subject Diary (Day 0 prior to first dose through Day 13).

    Measured: Baseline, 14 days

  2. Mean Change From Baseline for Twice Daily (BID) Averaged Instantaneous Ocular Redness Scores Over the Treatment Period

    Ocular redness each was graded on a 4-point scale (0-3 units; 0=Absent, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe) twice daily in the Screening Diary (Day -7 to Day -1) and the Subject Diary (Day 0 prior to first dose through Day 13).

    Measured: Baseline, 14 days

  3. Mean Change From Baseline for Twice Daily (BID) Averaged Proportion of Tearing Episodes Over the Treatment Period

    Individual nasal symptoms and ocular itching and redness each were graded on a 4-point scale (0-3 units; 0=Absent, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe) BID in the Screening Diary (Day -7 to Day -1) and BID in the Subject Diary (Day 0 prior to first dose through Day 13). Tearing was scored from Day 0 as either absent or present at the same time as nasal and other ocular symptoms were graded. The proportion of participants was calculated and then then average of the proportions.

    Measured: Baseline, 14 days

  4. Mean Change From Baseline for Twice Daily (BID) Averaged Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Scores Over the Treatment Period

    Individual nasal symptoms of rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, nasal itching, and sneezing each were each graded on a 4-point scale (0-3 units; 0=Absent, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe) twice daily in the Screening Diary (Day -7 to Day -1) and the Subject Diary (Day 0 prior to first dose through Day 13). The minimum Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) was 0 units and the maximum TNSS corresponding to multiple individual nasal symptoms scored as severe was 12 units

    Measured: Baseline, 14 days

  5. Global Therapeutic Response Rating - Participant Assessed

    Participants were asked if they felt that they had experienced improvement in allergy symptoms after therapy. Participant assessed global therapeutic response rating: categories that the participant could select were 'no change', 'slight improvement', 'improved', or 'marked improvement'.

    Measured: 14 days

  6. Global Therapeutic Response Rating - Investigator Assessed

    Investigators were asked if they felt that the participant had experienced improvement in allergy symptoms after therapy. Investigator assessed global therapeutic response rating: categories that the investigator could select were 'no change', 'slight improvement', 'improved', or 'marked improvement'.

    Measured: 14 days

A Phase 2 study testing bepotastine besilate ophthalmic solution 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 14 Sep 2020. 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 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 14 Sep 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?

Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) - Mean Change in Total Score (time frame: Baseline, 14 days). 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 NCT01174823, 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.

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 14 Sep 2020.
