What is being measured

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

  1. Conjunctival Staining by Lissamine Green

    Percentage of cases of limbal staining by lissamine green at each point on a five point scale (0 = None, 1 = Trace, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Severe)

    Measured: week 1, month 1

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Corneal Staining by Fluorescein

    Percentage of cases of limbal staining by sodium fluorescein at each point on a five point scale (0 = None, 1 = Trace, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Severe)

    Measured: week 1, month 1

  2. Conjunctival Hyperaemia

    Percentage of conjunctival response reported in terms of limbal hyperaemia for the worst responses over the area at each point on a five point scale (0=clear/white conjunctiva, 1=slight redness, 2=Mild redness, 3=Moderate redness, 4=Severe redness)

    Measured: week 1, month 1

  3. Ocular Comfort and Ocular Symptoms on Visual Analogue Scale

    Mean comfort judged on a 100 point visual analogue scale (0=Very Poor, 100=Excellent)

    Measured: week 1, month 1

  4. Daily Eyedrop Usage

    Average daily eyedrop use

    Measured: Month 1

  5. Lipid Layer Pattern Assessment

    Lipid layer thickness as determined by lipid layer mixing pattern. A high mixing pattern = thick lipid layer.

    Measured: Week 1, month 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing A sterile solution containing sodium carboxymethylcellulose and glycerin, preserved with PURITE® and Sodium hyaluronate in people with Dry Eye Syndromes, run by Allergan at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 6 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 19 Nov 2013. 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 Kingdom. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 4 Feb 2010). 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?

Conjunctival Staining by Lissamine Green (time frame: week 1, month 1). 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 19 Nov 2013.
