Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Evaluation of Systane® ULTRA Compared to OPTIVE® in Ocular Surface Staining (NCT NCT01863368)

NCT ID: NCT01863368

Last Updated: 2015-08-04

Results Overview

The TOSS score is a composite score of corneal fluorescein staining, nasal conjunctival lissamine green staining, and temporal conjunctival lissamine green staining, each scored on a 0-5 Likert scale (0=absent, 5=severe). TOSS scores can range from 0 to 15. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Day 35

Population: This analysis group includes all randomized subjects with data at visit.

The TOSS score is a composite score of corneal fluorescein staining, nasal conjunctival lissamine green staining, and temporal conjunctival lissamine green staining, each scored on a 0-5 Likert scale (0=absent, 5=severe). TOSS scores can range from 0 to 15. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

Population: This analysis group includes all subjects with data at visit.

The OSDI is a 12-item, quality of life questionnaire that evaluates symptoms based on 3 modules (type of discomfort, environmental triggers, and tasking) on a 0-4 Likert scale (0=None of the time, 4=All of the time). A resultant overall 0-100 score was calculated, where 0=No disability and 100=Complete disability. Both eyes contributed to the analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 35

Population: This analysis group includes all subjects with data at visit.

The IDEEL is a 10-item, patient-reported questionnaire used to measure treatment satisfaction. The subject answered 4 questions pertaining to treatment effectiveness scored on a 0-4 Likert-type scale, where 0=None of the time, 1=A little of the time, 2=Some of the time, 3=Most of the time, and 4=All of the time. The IDEEL score for treatment effectiveness was calculated based upon the mean value of the 4 questions multiplied by 25, for a resultant overall score of 0-100, where 0=Complete disability and 100=No disability. Both eyes contributed to the analysis.

0/105 • Adverse events (AEs) were collected for the duration of the study (Sep 2013 - Jun 2014). AEs are reported as pre-treatment and treatment-emergent. One subject was randomized to Optive, but was never exposed to product.
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who was administered an investigational product regardless of whether or not the event had a causal relationship with the product. AEs were obtained as solicited and spontaneous comments from the study subjects, and as observations by the Investigator, as outlined in the protocol.
