What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells
Anterior chamber (AC) cells were assessed using a 0 to 4 grading scale by an ophthalmologist using slip lamp biomicroscopy. A slit lamp examination of the lids, conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, anterior chamber, vitreous, and lens was performed without pupil dilation. Accumulation of white blood cells in aqueous was assessed. The grades were defined as: 0 = No cells seen; 1 = 1 - 5 cells; 2 = 6 - 15 cells; 3 = 16 - 30 cells; 4 = >30 cells. Complete resolution of AC cells was defined as Grade 0.
Measured: 8 days
Percentage of Participants With Grade 0 Pain
Ocular pain was defined as a positive sensation of the eye, including foreign body sensation, stabbing, throbbing, or aching. The scores ranged from 0=None to 5=Severe, where higher scores indicated worse pain.
Measured: 8 days

Measured: 15 days
Percentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Flare.
A slit lamp examination of the lids, conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, anterior chamber, vitreous, and lens will be performed without pupil dilation. Scattering of a slit lamp light beam when directed into the anterior chamber (Tyndall effect). The grades for flare were 0=None to 4=Very Severe effect. Complete resolution was defined as Grade 0.
Measured: 15 days

Measured: 15 days
Percentage of Treatment Failures
Treatment failure was defined as anterior chamber (AC) cell score worsened or remained the same, and the Investigator deemed it necessary to place the participant on rescue therapy.

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells
Time frame: 8 days

A slit lamp examination of the lids, conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, anterior chamber, vitreous, and lens was performed without pupil dilation. Accumulation of white blood cells in aqueous was assessed. The grades were defined as: 0 = No cells seen; 1 = 1 - 5 cells; 2 = 6 - 15 cells; 3 = 16 - 30 cells; 4 = >30 cells. Complete resolution of AC cells was defined as Grade 0.
Percentage of Participants With Grade 0 Pain
Time frame: 8 days
Ocular pain was defined as a positive sensation of the eye, including foreign body sensation, stabbing, throbbing, or aching. The scores ranged from 0=None to 5=Severe, where higher scores indicated worse pain.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Mapracorat in people with Cataract and Inflammation, run by Bausch & Lomb Incorporated 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 3 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 3 Sep 2020. 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 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 3 Sep 2020). 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?
Percentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells (time frame: 8 days). 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 3 Sep 2020.
