Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Evaluation of Systane® Gel Drops in Dry Eye Subjects (NCT NCT02380248)

NCT ID: NCT02380248

Last Updated: 2018-07-02

Results Overview

Corneal staining was assessed by the Investigator through slit-lamp examination and reported on a scale of 0-3, where 0=normal (no staining) and 3=severe (numerous coalescent macropunctate areas and/or patches), for the 5 quadrants of each eye. The scores at each visit were summed by eye for each subject. The overall corneal staining score for the subject at each visit was then computed as the average of the sum from both eyes. Thus, the overall scores ranged between 0-15 with higher scores reflecting more damage to the corneal surface.

Participant Flow

Subjects were recruited from 13 study centers in India.

Of the 207 enrolled, 6 subjects were exited as screen failures prior to treatment. In addition, 1 subject met the entry criteria, but discontinued prior to the first instillation of investigational product (IP). This reporting group includes all treated subjects (200).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 0), Day 45, Day 90

Population: Full Analysis Set. Number analyzed includes number of subjects with non-missing response in specified category.

Corneal staining was assessed by the Investigator through slit-lamp examination and reported on a scale of 0-3, where 0=normal (no staining) and 3=severe (numerous coalescent macropunctate areas and/or patches), for the 5 quadrants of each eye. The scores at each visit were summed by eye for each subject. The overall corneal staining score for the subject at each visit was then computed as the average of the sum from both eyes. Thus, the overall scores ranged between 0-15 with higher scores reflecting more damage to the corneal surface.
