About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Masked, Vehicle-Controlled, Dose-Ranging Study of the Safety and Efficacy of OTX-101 in the Treatment of Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca

This is a Phase 2/3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 different dose concentrations of OTX-101 dosed twice a day in both eyes for 84 days compared to placebo (vehicle) in patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye disease).

Read the detailed description

Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is a common multifactorial ophthalmologic disorder of the tears and ocular surface characterized by symptoms of burning, stinging, itching, grittiness, scratchiness, foreign body sensation, dryness, stickiness and tired eye sensation.

This study is the first clinical safety and efficacy study with OTX-101 and is designed to compare two dose concentrations of OTX-101 against vehicle (placebo) in reducing the signs and symptoms of KCS and evaluate safety when dosed twice a day in both eyes over an 84 day period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Conjunctival Staining

    Mean change from baseline at day 84 for the lissamine green conjunctival staining score in the designated study eye.

    The Investigator recorded a score for each area of each eye on a 0 (No punctate stain in zone) to 3 (Densely concentrated micropunctate stain spots) scale

    Measured: Baseline to 84 days

  2. Global Symptom Score

    Mean change from baseline at day 84 for the global symptom score.

    The freuency and severy of dry eye and irritation scores were used to calculate symptom score as follows:

    Frequency of dry eye/irritation based on a scale of 0 (rarely) to 100 (all the time) Severity of dryness or irritation based on a scale of 0 (very mildly) to 100 (very severe).

    The global symptom score was calculated as the square root of the frequency score times the severity score

    Measured: Baseline to 84 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Tear Film Break up Time (TBUT)

    Mean change from baseline in TBUT in the study eye from baseline at Day 84

    Measured: Baseline to 84 days

  2. Corneal Staining Score

    Mean Change from Baseline in Corneal Staining Score in the Study Eye. Expanded National Eye Institute Scale for Corneal Staining Score was used to grade each of the 5 areas of the cornea on a 0 (No punctate stain in area) to 4 (Severe diffuse (coalescent) macropunctate stain of the area) scale

    Measured: Baseline to 84 days

  3. Schirmer's Test

    Change from Baseline in Categorized Schirmer's Test Score. Schirmer's test was performed with strips placed in both eyes at the same time. Strips were removed after 5 minutes and the amount of wetting (in mm) was recorded as scores from 1 to 5.

    1: < 3 mm, 3 - 6 mm, 7 - 10 mm, 11 - 14 mm, and 5: > 14 mm

    Measured: Baseline to 84 days

  4. Patient Satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction with treatment score using 5-point scale (1=extremely dissatisfied to 5=extremely satisfied)

    Measured: Baseline to 84 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing OTX-101 0.05% and OTX-101 0.09% in people with Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca and Dry Eye Disease, run by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited 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 9 inclusion and 36 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 29 Aug 2022. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 14 Dec 2018). 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 (time frame: Baseline to 84 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 29 Aug 2022.
