What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in the Ocular Surface Disease Index© (OSDI©) Score

    The OSDI© consists of 12 questions the patient is asked measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. Each of the 12 questions was assessed using a 5-point scale where 0=none of the time and 4=all of the time. The score is converted to a 0 to 100-point score where 0 is no symptoms and 100 is most symptoms. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 90

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change From Baseline in Tear Break-up Time (TBUT)

    TBUT is defined as the time required for dry spots to appear on the surface of the eye after blinking. The longer it takes, the more stable the tear film. The worse eye is used for the calculations and is defined as the eye with the shortest average TBUT at Baseline. A positive number change from Baseline indicates improvement and a negative number change from Baseline indicates a worsening.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 90

  2. Change From Baseline in Corneal Staining Score

    Total corneal staining with fluorescein was measured in the worse eye using a 6-point scale where 0= none, no staining (best) to 5=severe staining (worst). The total score is calculated as the sum of 5 regions of the cornea, resulting in a possible minimum score of 0 and a maximum possible score of 25 (severe staining score of 5 in all 5 regions). The worse eye is defined as the eye with the highest score at Baseline. A negative change from Baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement).

    Measured: Baseline, Day 90

  3. Change From Baseline in Conjunctival Staining Score

    Total conjunctival staining with lissamine green was measured in the worse eye using a 6-point scale where 0= none (best), no staining to 5=severe staining (worst). The total score is calculated as the sum of the 6 regions of the conjunctiva, resulting in a minimum possible score of 0 maximum possible score of 30 (severe staining score of 5 in 6 regions). The worse eye is defined as eye with the highest score at Baseline. A negative change from Baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement).

    Measured: Baseline, Day 90

  4. Change From Baseline in the Schirmer Test

    The Schirmer Test measures tears produced by the eye over 5 minutes using a paper strip inserted into the eye. The results indicate the presence of dry eye (Normal = greater than 10 millimeters (mm) of tears, Dry Eye = less than 10 mm of tears). The smaller the number, the more severe the dry eye. The worse eye defined as the eye with the lowest score at baseline is used to calculate the change at Day 90. A positive number change from baseline indicates an increase in tears (improvement).

    Measured: Baseline, Day 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye Drop and Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium 0.5% in people with Dry Eye Syndromes, run by Allergan at 13 sites in 2 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 17 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States, Australia. 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 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 17 Nov 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 the Ocular Surface Disease Index© (OSDI©) Score (time frame: Baseline, Day 90). 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 17 Nov 2017.
