About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Phase III Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of PRO-148 Versus Systane®, in Patients With Mild to Moderate Dry Eye

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of the ophthalmic solution PRO-148 in the ocular surface of patients with mild to moderate dry eye compared with ophthalmic solution Systane®

Read the detailed description

Dry eye is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the ocular surface. Current treatment is heavily weighted toward supplementation, stimulation, or preservation of aqueous tears. Artificial tears are one of the primary treatments for dry eye; it is mainly palliative and focuses on reducing the symptoms of discomfort to improve quality of life for a patient.

A phase III randomized double-blind clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety of the ophthalmic solution PRO-148 in the ocular surface of patients with mild to moderate dry eye compared with ophthalmic solution Systane®. Patients will be randomized to receive one of the treatments for 60 days. Efficacy and safety measures will be performed at baseline and at 60 days after treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI©) Questionnaire

    Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI©) questionnaire , consists of 12 questions divided in 3 groups, Each question has a value that can go from 0 to 4 points according to the severity of the case: 0.None of the time, 1. Some of the time, 2.Half of the time, 3.most of the time and 4 all of the time. The points of all the questions will be used in the following formula for converted to a score of 0-100 : (sum of scores) x 25 / (# of questions answered), where 0 represents normality or non-symptomatology and 100 the most severe case. Will be used to measure the symptoms of dry eye disease by obtaining baseline data and comparing them against the last visit.

    Measured: Day 60

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Schirmer Test

    Change from Baseline in Schirmer test after 60 days of treatment

    Schirmer test

    It is the technique most used to measure aqueous and at the same time the simplest tear secretion. It is carried out as follows: Without applying anesthesia, the patient is placed somewhere without much illumination, without applying anesthesia, a strip of filter paper of approximately 30 mm is placed, of which, 5 mm must go in the joint Of the middle and outer third of the lower eyelid. The patient is instructed to look forward and to blink normally. After 5 minutes the strips are removed and the wetting is recorded in millimeters. A test less than or equal to 6 mm is diagnostic of aqueous deficiency.The mean of the revisions by group will be compared at the baseline and final visit.

    Measured: Day 60

  2. Tear Film Break up Time

    Change from Baseline in Tear film break up time after 60 days of treatment Tear film breakup time is the elapsed time from blinking to the first occurrence of a dry area in the cornea, visualized with the help of fluorescein staining. Measurement of tear film breakup time will be performed as follows: Fluorescein is instilled in the eye, the patient is asked to blink three times to distribute the dye and then set the eye to the front and do not blink while the examiner observes the cornea with cobalt blue light, looking for an area of tear film rupture, which is manifested by the appearance of a black island within the fluorescein green film. Normally film breakup time is 10 seconds or more and the minimum register may be 1 second, Under 10 seconds is considered abnormal.

    Measured: Day 60

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing PRO-148 and Systane in people with Dry Eye, run by Laboratorios Sophia S.A de C.V. at 1 site in Mexico.

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 11 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 15 Dec 2017. 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 Mexico. 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 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 15 Dec 2017). 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?

Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI©) Questionnaire (time frame: Day 60). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01657253, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Dec 2017.
