About this study

Official title: Evaluation of ESBA105 in the Persistent Relief of Ocular Discomfort in Patients With Severe Dry Eye

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ESBA105 over vehicle in reducing the ocular symptoms of dry eye disease, as measured by a mean global Visual Analog Scale (VAS) discomfort score.

Read the detailed description

Following Run-In, patients qualifying for treatment were randomized 2:1 to receive ESBA105 (experimental group) or Vehicle (control group) for 4 weeks. Patients not qualifying for treatment (based on global VAS discomfort score), were discontinued from the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Global Ocular Discomfort Score, Area Under the Curve, Day 0 to Day 28

    An electronic Visual Analog Scale (eVAS) was used by the subject to assess ocular discomfort, both frequency and severity, at Day 0 (pre-treatment) and daily thereafter for 28 days. Assessments were entered into a LogPad® (handheld electronic device). The VAS frequency score ranged from 0 (rarely) to 100 (all the time), and the VAS severity score ranged from 0 (very mildly uncomfortable) to 100 (very severely uncomfortable). The Global Ocular Discomfort Score is a composite of the frequency and severity VAS scores (0-100).

    Measured: Up to 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ESBA105 ophthalmic solution in people with Eyes Dry Chronic, run by Alcon Research 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 10 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 19 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 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 19 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?

Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Global Ocular Discomfort Score, Area Under the Curve, Day 0 to Day 28 (time frame: Up to 28 days). 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 19 Apr 2013.
