About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Double-masked, Randomized, Parallel-group Study Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Once-daily Application of Bimatoprost Solution 0.03% Compared to Vehicle to Treat Chemotherapy-induced Hypotrichosis of the Eyelashes in Japanese Subjects

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of bimatoprost solution 0.03% compared with vehicle in Japanese adults with hypotrichosis of the eyelashes following chemotherapy treatment.

Being tested
bimatoprost solution 0.03%, bimatoprost vehicle solution

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Increase in Overall Eyelash Prominence Using the Global Eyelash Assessment Scale (GEA)

    The investigator evaluated the patient's eyelash prominence using the GEA 4-point scale: 1= minimal, 2= moderate, 3= marked and 4= very marked at Baseline and Month 4. At least a 1-grade increase in the GEA score from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 4

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change From Baseline in Eyelash Length as Measured by Digital Image Analysis (DIA)

    Photographs were taken of the eyelashes and assessed using DIA. Length was measured in millimeters (mm). Data from both eyes were averaged for each participant for analysis. A positive change from Baseline indicated longer length (improvement).

    Measured: Baseline, Month 4

  2. Change From Baseline in Eyelash Thickness as Measured by DIA

    Photographs were taken of the eyelashes and assessed using DIA. Eyelash thickness (fullness) was assessed across both eyes as an average and is measured in millimeters squared (mm^2). A positive change from Baseline indicated fuller eyelashes (improvement).

    Measured: Baseline, Month 4

  3. Change From Baseline in Eyelash Darkness as Measured by DIA

    Photographs were taken of the eyelashes and assessed using DIA. Eyelash darkness was measured in both eyes and averaged for analysis using a scale where 0=black and 255=white. A negative change from Baseline indicated darker eyelashes (improvement).

    Measured: Baseline, Month 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing bimatoprost solution 0.03% in people with Eyelash Hypotrichosis, run by Allergan 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 6 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 8 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 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 9 Jul 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?

Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Increase in Overall Eyelash Prominence Using the Global Eyelash Assessment Scale (GEA) (time frame: Baseline, Month 4). 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 NCT01391286, 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 8 Jul 2019.
