About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of APP13007 for the Treatment of Inflammation and Pain After Cataract Surgery, Including a Corneal Endothelial Cell Sub-study

This Phase 3 study will evaluate APP13007 in comparison to the matching vehicle placebo in a randomized, parallel-group, double-masked fashion. The subjects will have undergone routine cataract surgery on Day 0 of the study and will be assessed the next day (Post-operative Day; POD1) after uncomplicated surgery for eligibility for randomization to study treatment. The study comprises the Main Study and the Endothelial Cell Sub-study.

  2. Participants With Ocular Pain Grade = 0 in the Operated Study Eye at All Visits From Postoperative Day 4 Through Postoperative Day 15 Without Rescue Medication

    Ocular pain is measured in the eye using a subject-reported five-point (0-4) ocular pain grade scale (0 = no pain; 1 = minimal; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe pain).

    Measured: Postoperative Day 4, Postoperative Day 8 and Postoperative Day 15

  3. Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing APP13007, 0.05% in people with Ocular Inflammation and Pain After Cataract Surgery, run by Formosa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 31 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 31 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 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 7 Jul 2023). 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?

Participants With ACC Count = 0 in the Operated Study Eye at All Visits From Postoperative Day 8 Through Postoperative Day 15 Without Rescue Medication (time frame: Postoperative Day 8 and Postoperative Day 15). The study lists 3 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 25 Jul 2023.
