Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy Study of SAR 1118 to Treat Dry Eye Conducted in a Controlled Adverse Environment (CAE) (OPUS-1) (NCT NCT01421498)

NCT ID: NCT01421498

Last Updated: 2021-06-11

Results Overview

Corneal staining was performed to grade the degree of corneal epithelial cell injury as measured by fluorescence using slit-lamp examination. The staining was graded with the Ophthalmic Research Associates, Inc. (ORA) scale. The corneal surface is divided into three regions: superior, central and inferior. The scores for each of these 3 regions ranged from 0 to 4 (0=no staining/none; 1=occasional/trace; 2=countable/mild; 3=uncountable, but not confluent/moderate; 4=confluent/severe) with 0.5 point increments, and lower score indicates a better outcome. Inferior corneal fluorescein staining scores from the study eye only were reported. Study eye is the 'worse eye', defined as the eye with worse (higher) score at baseline.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 84

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population with Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of investigational product.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 84

Population: ITT population with LOCF.

The symptom functional scale is a validated instrument for ocular surface diseases, measuring the ocular symptoms, vision-related function, and environmental triggers. The 12 items of the symptom functional scale questionnaire were graded on a scale of 0 (none of the time) to 4 (all of the time). The index consisted of 3 sub scales: symptoms (sensitivity to light, gritty sensation, pain, blurred vision, and poor vision \[Items 1-5\]), visual-related sub scale of the symptom functional scale (ability to read, drive at night, use a computer, watch television \[Items 6-9\]), and environmental triggers (windy conditions, low humidity, air conditioning \[Items 10-12\]). The symptom functional scale was scored on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores representing greater disability. Negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
