Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Evaluation Following Use of SYSTANE® ULTRA in the Management of Dry Eye (NCT NCT02446015)

NCT ID: NCT02446015

Last Updated: 2018-07-02

Results Overview

The TOSS score is a cumulative cornea and conjunctival staining score. After instilling ophthalmic dye in the eye, the investigator graded three areas of the ocular surface for dryness on a scale from 0 to 5, where 0 is "Absent" and 5 is "Severe." The three scores were summed for a resultant overall 0-15 score. The change from baseline was calculated as the TOSS score at Day 28 minus the TOSS score at baseline. A more negative change value indicates greater efficacy. One eye from each subject was chosen as the study eye and only the study eye was used for eye-level efficacy analyses.

Participant Flow

Subjects were recruited from 6 study centers located in the US and 2 study centers located in Australia.

Of the 159 enrolled, 58 subjects were exited as screen failures prior to randomization. An additional 4 subjects were randomized in error and did not receive investigational product (IP). This reporting group includes all treated subjects (97).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28

Population: Intent-to-Treat Analysis Set. Number Analyzed is the number of subjects with non-missing response.

The TOSS score is a cumulative cornea and conjunctival staining score. After instilling ophthalmic dye in the eye, the investigator graded three areas of the ocular surface for dryness on a scale from 0 to 5, where 0 is "Absent" and 5 is "Severe." The three scores were summed for a resultant overall 0-15 score. The change from baseline was calculated as the TOSS score at Day 28 minus the TOSS score at baseline. A more negative change value indicates greater efficacy. One eye from each subject was chosen as the study eye and only the study eye was used for eye-level efficacy analyses.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28

Population: Intent-to-Treat Analysis Set. Number Analyzed is the number of subjects with non-missing response.

The IDEEL SB module is a 20 question patient reported outcome questionnaire that assesses the subject's symptoms of dry eye. An overall resultant calculated score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater symptom bother. One eye from each subject was chosen as the study eye and only the study eye was used for eye-level efficacy analyses.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28

Population: Intent-to-Treat Analysis Set. Number Analyzed is the number of subjects with non-missing response.

The IDEEL is 10-question patient-reported outcome questionnaire that assesses the subject's general satisfaction with treatment use (Treatment Effectiveness and Treatment Inconvenience). A resultant overall 0-100 treatment satisfaction score was calculated separately for Treatment Effectiveness and Treatment Inconvenience, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction and less treatment-related bother. One eye from each subject was chosen as the study eye and only the study eye was used for eye-level efficacy analyses.
