What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Ocular Itching Score Compared to Placebo Period1

    A conjunctivitis allergic challenge (CAC) was performed 4 hours after drop instillation. Mean ocular itching score was assessed by the subject at 3, 5, and 10 min post challenge and graded on a 5 points scale of 0-4 where 0=no itching and 4=incapacitating itch. Count unit was defined each eye.

    The endpoint used the average score of three time points (3, 5, and 10 minutes) after allergen challenge .

    Measured: Visit 5 (3, 5, and 10 minutes post-CAC)

  2. Mean Hyperemia Score Compared to Placebo Period1

    A conjunctivitis allergic challenge (CAC) was performed 4 hours after drop instillation. Mean palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva hyperemia was assessed by the investigator at 5, 10, and 20 min post challenge and graded on a 4 points scale of 0-3 (0=none and 3= extremely severe). Total hyperemia score is defined as the sum of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva scores. Count unit was defined each eye.

    The endpoint used the average score of three time points (5, 10, and 20 minutes) after allergen challenge .

    Measured: Visit 5 (5, 10, and 20 minutes post-CAC)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean Ocular Itching Score Compared to Olopatadine Period2

    A conjunctivitis allergic challenge (CAC) was performed 4 hours after drop instillation. Mean ocular itching score was assessed by the subject at 3, 5, and 10 min post challenge on a 5 points scale of 0-4 where 0=no itching and 4=incapacitating itch.

    The endpoint used the average score of three time points (3, 5, and 10 minutes) after allergen challenge .

    Measured: Visit 7 (3, 5, and 10 minutes post-CAC)

  2. Mean Hyperemia Score Compared to Olopatadine Period2

    A conjunctivitis allergic challenge (CAC) was performed 4 hours after drop instillation. Mean palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva hyperemia was assessed by the investigator at 5, 10, and 20 min post challenge and graded on a 4 points scale of 0-3 (0=none and 3= extremely severe). Total hyperemia score is defined as the sum of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva scores.

    The endpoint used the average score of three time points (5, 10, and 20 minutes) after allergen challenge .

    Measured: Visit 7 (5, 10, and 20 minutes post-CAC)

A Phase 3 study testing DE-114 ophthalmic solution and Olopatadine Hydrochloride 0.1% Ophthalmic Solution in people with Allergic Conjunctivitis, run by Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Japan.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 Nov 2014. 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 Japan. 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 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 5 Nov 2014). 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?

Mean Ocular Itching Score Compared to Placebo Period1 (time frame: Visit 5 (3, 5, and 10 minutes post-CAC)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01363700, 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 19 Nov 2014.
