About this study

Official title: A Phase II Randomized Placebo-Controlled, Double Blind, Single-Center, Tolerability and Efficacy Clinical Trial of Ocular Surface Immunoglobulin (OSIG) Eye Drops In Patients With Dry Eye Disease

The main objective of this study is to assess the clinical and mechanistic effect of using Ocular surface immunoglobulin (OSIG) eye drops for treating Dry Eye Disease. Therefore, the investigator will perform a prospective, phase II, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-masked, tolerability and efficacy clinical trial using OSIG-eye drops in patients with Dry Eye Disease. This clinical trial will be powered to detect efficacy of the treatment.

This will be a Randomized controlled trial, in which a total of 40 subjects will be enrolled at one clinical site. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two groups (#1, #2), with 20 subjects per group. One group will be given placebo (Normal saline eye drops) and the other group will be given eye drops containing the study drug (OSIG). Treatment will be for eight weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean reduction in Epitheliopathy at week 8, compared to day 1 (pre-dose), as measured by corneal staining score using National Eye Institute (NEI) grading scale.

    Corneal staining score as measured by Lissamine Green dye staining using National Eye Institute (NEI) grading scale. Dye is applied to each eye and a slit lamp is used to observe corneal staining. NEI scale relies on a chart that divides the cornea into 5 sections and assigns a value from 0 (absent) to 3 (severe) to each section, based on the density of punctate staining, final staining score being the sum of individual section scores with a range of 0 (minimum) -15 (maximum) points. Complete corneal staining clearance with Lissamine dye defined as a score of 0 indicating the best outcome.

    Measured: 8 Weeks

  2. Mean reduction in Dry Eye Disease (DED) symptoms as measured by the Ocular surface disease index (OSDI) score at 8 week, compared to day 1 (pre-dose)

    Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), a 12-item questionnaire, assesses symptom of ocular irritation in dry eye disease (DED) and how it affects functioning related to vision in the past week. It has 3 subscales: ocular symptoms, vision-related function, and environmental triggers. Patients rate their responses on 0 to 4 scale with 0 being "none of the time" and 4 being "all of the time." OSDI score range from 0-100 with score 0-12 being normal, 13-22 being mild DED, 23-32 being moderate DED, and >33 being severe DED. OSDI=[(sum of scores for questions answered)×100]/[(total questions answered)×4]

    Measured: 8 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ocular Surface Immune Globulin (OSIG) in people with Dry Eye, run by University of Illinois Chicago at 1 site 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 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 reduction in Epitheliopathy at week 8, compared to day 1 (pre-dose), as measured by corneal staining score using National Eye Institute (NEI) grading scale. (time frame: 8 Weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 May 2023.
