About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Observer-Masked, Efficacy and Safety Study of FID 119515A in Dry Eye

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of FID 119515A to Blink® Tears on the integrity of tear film in adults with a history of dry eye in both eyes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Tear Break-up Time (TBUT) at 60 Minutes

    Fluorescein dye was instilled in the eye to assess tear break-up time. After instillation of the fluorescein, the subject was instructed to blink 3 times, then stare and not blink. The investigator measured the time from the last blink until the first black (dry) spot appeared in the precorneal tear film. Tear break-up time was assessed prior to test article instillation (baseline) and at 60 minutes. Three consecutive measurements were taken per eye at each time point, with the average of the 3 scores being the value analyzed. An increase in total score equates to improvement. One eye was chosen as the study eye and only data for the study eye were used.

    Measured: Baseline, 60 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Area Under Curve (AUC) of TBUT From 0 to 60 Minutes

    Fluorescein dye was instilled in the eye to assess tear break-up time. After instillation of the fluorescein, the subject was instructed to blink 3 times, then stare and not blink. The investigator measured the time from the last blink until the first black (dry) spot appeared in the precorneal tear film. Tear break-up time was assessed prior to test article instillation (baseline) and at 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes. Three consecutive measurements were taken per eye at each time point, with the average of the 3 scores being the value analyzed. An increase in total score equates to improvement. One eye was chosen as the study eye and only data for the study eye were used.

    Measured: 0 to 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FID 119515A and Blink® Tears in people with Dry Eye, run by Alcon Research.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 29 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jun 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 Change From Baseline in Tear Break-up Time (TBUT) at 60 Minutes (time frame: Baseline, 60 minutes). 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 29 Jun 2018.
