About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-Masked, Parallel Group Study of P-321 Ophthalmic Solution Compared to Placebo in Subjects With Dry Eye Disease Assessing Safety and Efficacy Over 28 Days

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of treatment with 0.017% P-321 on Dry Eye Symptoms.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase 2b trial designed to evaluate symptoms and signs in subjects with mild to moderate dry eye disease. Eligible patients, will be treated with placebo during 2-week placebo run-in period. Subjects will then be randomly assigned in a double-masked, 1:1 ratio to either 0.017% P-321 Ophthalmic Solution or placebo TID for 28 days. This study is designed to evaluate the changes in symptoms. Safety will be assessed throughout the study by adverse events.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline (Visit 2) to Day 29 (Visit 4) in the Subject-reported Dry Eye Symptom Questionnaire.

    Dry Eye symptoms were obtained using the Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye (SANDE) questionnaire. The questionnaire utilizes separate Visual Analog Scales (VAS) for the frequency and the Severity of symptoms. The scores range from 0 to 100 where 0 = Rarely or Very Mild, and 100 = All the Time or Very Severe for the Frequency and Severity of the symptoms, respectively. The Global Score as reported in the Primary Outcome is obtained by taking the square root of the product of the frequency score multiplied by the severity score. Negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 29

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change From Baseline (Visit 2) to Day 29 in Symptom Frequency Scores

    Dry Eye symptom frequency was obtained using the Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye (SANDE) questionnaire. The questionnaire utilizes a 100 mm horizontal Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The scores range from 0 to 100 where 0 = Rarely and 100 = All the Time. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 29

  2. Change From Baseline (Visit 2) to Day 29 in Symptom Severity Scores

    Dry Eye symptom severity was obtained using the Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye (SANDE) questionnaire. The questionnaire utilizes a 100 mm horizontal Visual Analog Scales (VAS). The scores range from 0 to 100 where 0 = Very Mild and 100 = Very Severe. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 29

  3. Change From Baseline to Day 29 in Fluorescein Staining of the Cornea.

    Corneal staining was performed to grade the corneal epithelial cell injury as measured by fluorescence using slit lamp examination. The staining was graded with the NEI scale. The corneal surface is divided into 5 corneal regions (1, Central; 2, Inferior; 3, Nasal; 4, Temporal; 5, Superior). The scores for each of these 5 regions ranged from 0 to 3 (0=no staining; 1=staining with low density; 2=staining with moderate density; 3=staining with severe density). The total staining score (sum of all regions, maximal score =15) is reported. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 29

  4. Change From Baseline to Day 29 in Lissamine Green Staining of the Conjunctiva.

    Conjunctival staining was performed to grade the conjunctival epithelial cell injury as measured by Lissamine Green using slit-lamp examination. The staining was graded with the NEI scale. The bulbar conjunctival surface is divided into 6 regions (1, Temporal; 2 Temporal Superior; 3, Temporal Inferior; 4, Nasal Superior; 5, Nasal Inferior; 6, Nasal). The scores for each of these 6 regions ranged from 0 to 3 (0=no staining; 1=staining with low density; 2=staining with moderate density; 3=staining with severe density). The total staining score (sum of all regions, maximal score =18) is reported. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 29

  5. Number of Participants With at Least 20% Improvement in Symptoms From Baseline to Day 29

    Improvement in symptoms was evaluated using the Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye (SANDE) questionnaire. The questionnaire utilizes separate Visual Analog Scales (VAS) for the frequency and the Severity of symptoms. The scores range from 0 to 100 where 0 = Rarely or Very Mild, and 100 = All the Time or Very Severe for the Frequency and Severity of the symptoms, respectively. The Global Score is obtained by taking the square root of the product of the frequency score multiplied by the severity score. Lower scores indicate improvement in symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 29

  6. Change From Baseline (Visit 2) to Day 15 (Visit 3) in the Subject-reported Dry Eye Symptom Score.

    Dry Eye symptoms were obtained using the Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye (SANDE) questionnaire. The questionnaire utilizes separate Visual Analog Scales (VAS) for the frequency and the Severity of symptoms. The scores range from 0 to 100 where 0 = Rarely or Very Mild, and 100 = All the Time or Very Severe for the Frequency and Severity of the symptoms, respectively. The Global Score as reported in the Primary Outcome is obtained by taking the square root of the product of the frequency score multiplied by the severity score. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing P-321 Ophthalmic Solution in people with Dry Eye Disease, run by Parion Sciences at 7 sites 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 8 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 11 Oct 2018). 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 (Visit 2) to Day 29 (Visit 4) in the Subject-reported Dry Eye Symptom Questionnaire. (time frame: Baseline to Day 29). 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 11 Oct 2018.
