What is being measured

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

  1. Corneal Fluorescein Staining

    corneal fluorescein staining score of study eye graded from 0 to 9, with a score of 9 being worse. The corneal fluorescein staining score is the sum of three scores by subdividing the entire cornea into upper 1/3, middle 1/3, and lower 1/3, of which each is graded from 0 (no staining) to 3 (diffuse staining).

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Eye Dryness Score

    Patient subjectively evaluates eye dryness score using a visual analog scale from 0 to 100 maximal discomfort

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)

    Patient subjectively evaluates OSDI questionnaire, OSDI is scored on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores representing greater disability

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Self retained cryopreserved amniotic membrane and lifitegrast ophthalmic solution in people with Dry Eye Syndromes, run by BioTissue Holdings, Inc 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 5 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Dec 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Dec 2022). 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?

Corneal Fluorescein Staining (time frame: 1 month). 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 23 Dec 2022.
