What is being measured

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

  1. The Primary Endpoint, VH 0 Response, Was Defined as Having a VH Score of 0 at Month 5

    At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification

    Vitreous Haze Scale Description VH score 0 = No inflammation

    Measured: Day1 (Baseline) and Month 5 (Day150)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. VH 0 or 2-unit Response: Having a Reduction (Improvement) of at Least 2 Units From Baseline in VH Score or a VH Score of 0 at Month 5 (Modified SUN Scale)

    At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification Vitreous Haze Scale Step Description 0 No inflammation 0.5+ Trace Inflammation (slight blurring of the optic disc margins and or loss of nerve fiber layer reflex)

    1. Mild blurring of the retinal vessels and optic nerve 1.5+ Optic nerve head and posterior retina view obstruction greater than 1+ but less than 2+
    2. Moderate blurring of the optic nerve head
    3. Marked blurring of the optic nerve head
    4. Optic Nerve head not visible

    Measured: Day1/Baseline and Day150/Month 5

  2. VH 0 or 0.5+ Response: Having a VH Score of 0 or 0.5+ at Month 5 (Modified SUN Scale)

    At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification Vitreous Haze Scale Description VH score 0.5+=Trace Inflammation (slight blurring of the optic disc margins and or loss of nerve fiber layer reflex)

    Measured: Day1/Baseline and Day150/Month 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DE-109 44 ug, DE-109 440 ug and DE-109 880 ug in people with Uveitis; Posterior, Disorder, run by Santen Inc. at 151 sites in 17 countries.

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 22 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 16 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 151 sites in United States, India, Israel, Brazil, Germany and 12 more countries. 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. 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 16 Jul 2019). 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?

The Primary Endpoint, VH 0 Response, Was Defined as Having a VH Score of 0 at Month 5 (time frame: Day1 (Baseline) and Month 5 (Day150)). 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 16 Jul 2019.
