    Measured: Visit 1 [Day 1]: From predose of the 1st dosing to 12 hours post-dose. Visit 3 [Day 28]: From predose of the last dosing to 120 hours post-dose.

  3. AUCtau(Area under the concentration-time curve during a dosing interval) of varenicline after the first dosing at Visit 1 [Day 1] and after the last dosing at Visit 3 [Day 28], respectively.

    To evaluate the AUCtau of varenicline in adult Chinese subjects with DED after the first dosing at Visit 1 [Day 1] and after the last dosing at Visit 3 [Day 28], respectively.

    Measured: Visit 1 [Day 1]: From predose of the 1st dosing to 12 hours post-dose. Visit 3 [Day 28]: From predose of the last dosing to 120 hours post-dose.

  4. AUC0-last(Area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of the last measured non-zero concentration) of varenicline after the first dosing at Visit 1 [Day 1] and after the last dosing at Visit 3 [Day 28], respectively.

    To evaluate the AUC0-last of varenicline in adult Chinese subjects with DED after the first dosing at Visit 1 [Day 1] and after the last dosing at Visit 3 [Day 28], respectively.

    Measured: Visit 1 [Day 1]: From predose of the 1st dosing to 12 hours post-dose. Visit 3 [Day 28]: From predose of the last dosing to 120 hours post-dose.

  5. T1/2 of varenicline after the last dosing at Visit 3 [Day 28]

    To evaluate the T1/2 of varenicline after the last dosing at Visit 3 [Day 28] in adult Chinese subjects with DED.

    Measured: Visit 3 [Day 28]: From predose of the last dosing to 120 hours post-dose

  6. λz of varenicline after the last dosing at Visit 3 [Day 28]

    To evaluate the λz of varenicline after the last dosing at Visit 3 [Day 28] in adult Chinese subjects with DED.

    Measured: Visit 3 [Day 28]: From predose of the last dosing to 120 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change from baseline in Schirmer's Test Score (STS) at Visit 1 [Day 1], Visit 2 [Day 14] and Visit 3 [Day 28]

    To assess the Schirmer's Test Score (STS) using Schirmer's strips in adult Chinese subjects with DED after bilateral nasal spray administration of OC-01 (varenicline solution) Nasal Spray at a concentration of 0.6 mg/mL.

    For STS, the minimum value is 0.0mm, the maximum value is 35.0mm, the higher scores of change mean a better outcome.

    Measured: From Day 1 to Day 28

  2. Change from baseline in Eye Dryness Score (EDS) at Visit 2 [Day 14] and Visit 3 [Day 28]

    To assess the Eye Dryness Score (EDS) using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in adult Chinese subjects with DED after bilateral nasal spray administration of OC-01 (varenicline solution) Nasal Spray at a concentration of 0.6 mg/mL.

    For EDS, the minimum value is 0mm, the maximum value is 100mm, the higher scores of change mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: From Day 14 to Day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Varenicline Tartrate Nasal Spray in people with Dry Eye Disease, run by Corxel Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in China.

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 1 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 China. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Cmax of varenicline after the first dosing at Visit 1 [Day 1] and after the last dosing at Visit 3 [Day 28], respectively. (time frame: Visit 1 [Day 1]: From predose of the 1st dosing to 12 hours post-dose. Visit 3 [Day 28]: From predose of the last dosing to 120 hours post-dose.). The study lists 6 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 1 May 2023.
