Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Randomized, Controlled, Double-Masked, Clinical Trial of Autologous Serum Eye Drops for Severe Ocular Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) Patients (NCT NCT01972438)

NCT ID: NCT01972438

Last Updated: 2016-12-08

Results Overview

A ≥ 50% reduction in the combined score was considered a treatment success. While the design is a crossover study, the primary outcome was assessed after the first period at Month 3. Oxford punctate keratopathy is an objective measure from 0-5 (cornea only) and the NIH/NEI visual analogue scale is a subjective grading performed by the participant regarding his/her ocular dryness, redness and irritation (scored 0-3 for each symptom with 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe for a total score between 0-9). The combined score was a number between 0-14 with the higher number representing a worse outcome.

Participant Flow

Initially, up to 34 participants were to be enrolled. However, due to the unavailability of the investigational product (IP), recruitment and enrollment was halted at 18 participants in May 2015, and the study closed early. Three participants were enrolled and randomized but unrelated to the early study closure never started IP.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 3 months

Population: This analysis is conducted on the per-protocol population, defined as those who adhered to the protocol prior to drug unavailability, not on the intent-to-treat population due to lack of visit information beyond baseline for 3 participants. Three never started drug: one was unable to donate blood, one was ineligible at screening and one died.

A ≥ 50% reduction in the combined score was considered a treatment success. While the design is a crossover study, the primary outcome was assessed after the first period at Month 3. Oxford punctate keratopathy is an objective measure from 0-5 (cornea only) and the NIH/NEI visual analogue scale is a subjective grading performed by the participant regarding his/her ocular dryness, redness and irritation (scored 0-3 for each symptom with 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe for a total score between 0-9).

The CAS score is the sum of the scores on three separate assessments: Schirmer's tear test without anesthesia, punctate keratopathy and conjunctival inflammation and scarring (scored according to Robinson et. al\*). Each assessment was scored 0-3 with 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe. The higher values represent a worse outcome. The CAS score was a number between 0-9 with the higher number representing a worse outcome. \*Robinson MR, Lee SS, Rubin BI, Wayne AS, Pavletic SZ, Bishop MR, Childs R, Barrett AJ, Csaky KG.

Visual acuity was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol. Acuity is measured as letters read on an ETDRS eye chart and the letters read equate to Snellen measurements. For example, if a participant reads between 84 and 88 letters, the equivalent Snellen measurement is 20/20.

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 Months

Population: Twelve participants completed the first crossover treatment period at Month 3. Thirteen participants completed the second crossover treatment period at Month 6.

The fellow eye is the untreated eye. Sodium fluorescein dye was added to the eye and the tear film was observed under the slit lamp while the participant avoided blinking until tiny dry spots develop. Three measurements were taken and averaged for a more reproducible score.

Population: Twelve participants completed the first crossover treatment period at Month 3.

The tear composition test consists of the measurement of tear osmolarity using the Tearlab Osmolarity System (San Diego, California) by collecting a small 50 nanoliter (nL) tear sample which, with the use of laboratory test calculations, can derive the tear osmolarity in milliosmole per liter (mOsm/L).
