  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Have used and/or desired to use an artificial tear substitute for dry eye symptoms within 6 months prior to Visit 1

Who cannot join

  • Have had any intraocular surgery (such as cataract surgery), extraocular surgery (such as blepharoplasty) in either eye within three months or refractive surgery within twelve months of Visit 1
  • Have a history or presence of any ocular disorder or condition in either eye that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, likely interfere with the interpretation of the study results or participant safety such as significant corneal or conjunctival scarring; pterygium or nodular pinguecula; current ocular infection, conjunctivitis, or inflammation not associated with dry eye; anterior (epithelial) basement membrane corneal dystrophy or other clinically significant corneal dystrophy or degeneration; ocular herpetic infection; evidence of keratoconus; etc. Blepharitis not requiring treatment and mild meibomian gland disease that are typically associated with DED are allowed.
  • Have a systemic condition or disease not stabilized or judged by the Investigator to be incompatible with participation in the study or with the lengthier assessments required by the study (e.g., current systemic infection, uncontrolled autoimmune disease, uncontrolled immunodeficiency disease, history of myocardial infarction or heart disease, etc.)
  • Have a known hypersensitivity to any of the procedural agents or study drug components
  • Have any condition or history that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with study compliance, outcome measures, safety parameters, and/or the general medical condition of the subject

About this study

Official title: Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled, Double-Masked Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of OC-01 Nasal Spray on Signs and Symptoms of Dry Eye Disease (The ONSET-1 Study)

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of OC-01 Nasal Spray as compared to placebo on signs and symptoms of dry eye disease

Read the detailed description

This was a Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OC 01 nasal spray in adult subjects with DED. The study randomized 182 subjects, at least 22 years of age, who had a physician's diagnosis of dry eye disease and met all other study eligibility criteria to receive an application of OC-01 or placebo twice daily (BID) for 4 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change in Schirmer's Test Score From Baseline to 28 Days

    The primary end point was the change in anesthetized Schirmer's Test Score (STS) from baseline to 28 days in the study eye following treatment with OC-01. Schirmer's test score from 0-35 mm where a higher score is indicative of a better outcome.

    Measured: 28 Days [Visit 1 (baseline) and Visit 5 (28 days)]

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline in Eye Dryness Score From Baseline to Day 28

    Change in Eye Dryness Score from baseline to 28 days. Eye Dryness (EDS) on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) from 0 (no discomfort) to 100 (maximum discomfort) millimeters where a lower score is indicative of a better outcome.

    Measured: 28 days [Visit 1 (baseline and Visit 5 (28 days)]

  2. Change From Baseline to Day 21 in Eye Dryness Score at 5 Minutes Post Treatment in the CAE.

    Change from baseline to Day 21 in Eye Dryness Score at 5 minutes post treatment in the CAE. Eye Dryness (EDS) on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) from 0 (no discomfort) to 100 (maximum discomfort) millimeters where a lower score is indicative of a better outcome.

    Measured: 21 days [Visit 1 (baseline) and Visit 4 (21 days)]

A Phase 2 study testing OC-01 (varenicline) nasal spray in people with Dry Eye Disease, run by Oyster Point Pharma, Inc. at 3 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 1 inclusion and 5 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 25 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 25 Oct 2021). 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 in Schirmer's Test Score From Baseline to 28 Days (time frame: 28 Days [Visit 1 (baseline) and Visit 5 (28 days)]). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03636061, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 25 Oct 2021.
