About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes Following the Use of SYSTANE® HYDRATION in Subjects With Dry Eye

The purpose of this study is to compare SYSTANE® HYDRATION to Hyabak 0.15% based on total ocular surface staining scores (TOSS) at Day 42.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will first be dispensed preservative-free 0.9% saline eye drops (saline eye drops) to be used during the Run-in phase between Screening Visit and Day 0 (Visit 1). Subjects who qualify will be randomized in a 1:1 manner to receive either treatment with SYSTANE® HYDRATION Lubricant Eye Drops or Hyabak 0.15% Eye Drops.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Total Ocular Surface Staining (TOSS) Score at Day 42

    The TOSS score is a cumulative cornea and conjunctival staining score. After instilling ophthalmic dye in the eye, the investigator graded 3 areas of the ocular surface for dryness on a scale from 0 to 5, where 0=Absent and 5=Severe. The 3 scores were summed for a resultant overall 0-15 score. A more negative change value indicates greater efficacy. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 42

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change From Baseline in IDEEL Treatment Effectiveness Score at Day 42

    The IDEEL is 10-question patient-reported outcome questionnaire that assesses the subject's general satisfaction with treatment use. A resultant overall 0-100 satisfaction score was calculated, with a higher score indicating greater satisfaction and less treatment-related bother.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 42

  2. Change From Baseline in IDEEL Treatment Inconvenience Score at Day 42

    The IDEEL is 10-question patient-reported outcome questionnaire that assesses the subject's general satisfaction with treatment use. A resultant overall 0-100 satisfaction score was calculated, with a higher score indicating greater satisfaction and less treatment-related bother.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 42

  3. Change From Baseline in Tear Film Break-up Time (TFBUT) at Day 42

    TFBUT is defined as the time elapsed from the last blink until 1 or more dry spots appeared in the precorneal tear film. A longer tear film break-up time indicates a more stable tear film and may lead to improvement in dry eye symptoms. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 42

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SYSTANE HYDRATION lubricant eye drops, Hyabak 0.15% eye drops and 0.9% saline eye drops 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 4 inclusion and 11 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 2 Jul 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 16 Jun 2017). 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?

Change From Baseline in Total Ocular Surface Staining (TOSS) Score at Day 42 (time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Day 42). 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 2 Jul 2018.
