What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients whose corneal fluorescein staining score (ICSS) decreased by ≥1 point from baseline at visit 5 (study eye)

    ICSS:no staining = 0,few/rare punctate lesions = 1,discrete and countable lesions = 2,lesions too numerous to count,but not coalescent = 3,coalescent = 4

    Measured: 84 days after admission

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. EDS score at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline EDS score (binocular)

    0-100 points VAS score was evaluated

    Measured: 14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

  2. Average changes in VAS scores of 6 dry eye symptoms (burning/needling sensation, pruritus, foreign body sensation, discomfort, photophobia and pain) at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit were compared with baseline (binocular)

    0-100 points VAS score was evaluated

    Measured: 14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

  3. corneal fluorescein staining score (ICSS)at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)

    ICSS:no staining = 0,few/rare punctate lesions = 1,discrete and countable lesions = 2,lesions too numerous to count,but not coalescent = 3,coalescent = 4

    Measured: 14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

  4. oxford score at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)

    0~V grade was evaluated

    Measured: 14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

  5. Tear break-up time(BUT) at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)

    The time taken for the first dry spot to appear on the cornea after a complete blink with fluorescein

    Measured: 14 days after admission,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

  6. Schirmer's II test (with anesthetic) at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)

    Basal tear secretion with topical anesthesia, determined by the moisture length on the filter paper in 5 minutes

    Measured: 14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing CsA Ophthalmic Gel and Hypromellose Eye Drop in people with Dry Eye, run by Zhaoke (Guangzhou) Ophthalmology Pharmaceutical Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 20 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 Apr 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 China. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Proportion of patients whose corneal fluorescein staining score (ICSS) decreased by ≥1 point from baseline at visit 5 (study eye) (time frame: 84 days after admission). 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 NCT04541888, which also lists 9 linked publications.

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 Apr 2022.
