About this study

Official title: Confocal Analysis of Corneal Structures of Symptomatic Allergic Conjunctivitis Patients Pre and Post Treatment With Olopatadine HCL Ophthalmic Solution, 0.2%

The purpose of this study is to descriptively evaluate the corneal structures of allergic conjunctivitis patients.

Read the detailed description

Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) will be used to descriptively evaluate the corneal structures and assess the immune cell status of allergic conjunctivitis patients pre- and post-treatment with olopatadine 0.2% in relation to a normative database.

Being tested
Olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.2%
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient-Assessed Ocular Itching

    The patient rated the severity of ocular itching using a predetermined 0-4 scale, where 0=none and 4=severe itching with irresistible urge to rub. Each eye was rated separately. A 2-week washout period from prior allergy medication (if applicable) preceded the baseline assessment.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1), Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.2% in people with Allergic Conjunctivitis, 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 13 inclusion and 14 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 18 Aug 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 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 18 Aug 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?

Patient-Assessed Ocular Itching (time frame: Baseline (Day 1), Day 14). 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 18 Aug 2014.
