Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Travatan Z and Xalatan on Ocular Surface Health (NCT NCT00708422)

NCT ID: NCT00708422

Last Updated: 2012-04-23

Results Overview

Tear film break-up time was assessed by the same examiner both visits using the same slitlamp/settings. Examiner instilled fluorescein onto the patient's eye, after which the patient blinked several times, then kept the eye open. Immediately thereafter, the examiner used a stopwatch to time the occurrence of the first break in the fluorescein film. Three consecutive measurements were taken and averaged for actual TBUT. TBUT at Baseline (Day 0) was subtracted from TBUT at 12 weeks (Day 84) and reported as change. A higher number represents a lengthening in the tear film break up time.

Participant Flow

Patients were recruited from 21 US study centers. Eligible patients having a diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension and abnormal TBUT were enrolled.

231 patients were enrolled in the study and evaluated for safety. Baseline characteristics are presented for all patients who received the test article and completed the study (intent-to-treat): 226.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks (Day 84)

Population: Intent-to-treat: All patients who received test article and completed the trial.

Tear film break-up time was assessed by the same examiner both visits using the same slitlamp/settings. Examiner instilled fluorescein onto the patient's eye, after which the patient blinked several times, then kept the eye open. Immediately thereafter, the examiner used a stopwatch to time the occurrence of the first break in the fluorescein film. Three consecutive measurements were taken and averaged for actual TBUT. TBUT at Baseline (Day 0) was subtracted from TBUT at 12 weeks (Day 84) and reported as change. A higher number represents a lengthening in the tear film break up time.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks (Day 84)

Population: Intent-to-treat: All patients who received test article and completed the trial.

The OSDI is a 12-question validated questionnaire (resultant overall 0-100 score) used to measure ocular symptoms, visual function, and environmental factors that may affect a patient's vision, where 0 = normal and 100 = severe. The OSDI questionnaire was administered at both visits and completed by the patient with no assistance from the office staff, physician, or anyone else. The baseline OSDI score was subtracted from the 12-week OSDI score and reported as change. A negative number represents a perceived improvement in ocular health.
