Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Dry Eye Symptoms in CAE With Application of Intranasal Neurostimulation (NCT NCT02910713)

NCT ID: NCT02910713

Last Updated: 2020-01-31

Results Overview

The participant rated their eye dryness (both eyes simultaneously) at all visits and every 5 minutes during CAE exposure by placing a vertical mark on the 100 mm horizontal line to indicate the level of eye dryness. 0 corresponds to "no dryness" and 100 corresponds to "maximal dryness". A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. A cross-over linear model was used with symptom relief as the response variable; sequence, application location, period, and the application location by period interaction as fixed effects; and participant (sequence) as a random effect.

Measure
All Participants
Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator device, intranasal or extranasal (control) application for approximately 3 minutes at Day 0 when the participant experienced an Ocular Discomfort Score (ODS) ≥ 3 at 2 or more consecutive time points in at least one eye during controlled adverse environment (CAE) exposure; followed by Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator device, intranasal or extranasal (control) application for approximately 3 minutes on Day 0 when the participant experienced an ODS ≥ 3 at 2 or more consecutive time points in at least one eye during CAE exposure. Randomization determined the order of intranasal or extranasal application.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Pre-application to Post-application on Day 0

Population: Participants from the Full Analysis Set (FAS) Population, all randomized participants who initiated a study application, who received both intranasal and extranasal applications.

The participant rated their eye dryness (both eyes simultaneously) at all visits and every 5 minutes during CAE exposure by placing a vertical mark on the 100 mm horizontal line to indicate the level of eye dryness. 0 corresponds to "no dryness" and 100 corresponds to "maximal dryness". A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. A cross-over linear model was used with symptom relief as the response variable; sequence, application location, period, and the application location by period interaction as fixed effects; and participant (sequence) as a random effect.

Intranasal Application
n=143 Participants
Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator applied intranasally device (active), intranasal application for approximately 3 minutes on Day 0 when the participant experienced an ODS ≥ 3 at 2 or more consecutive time points in at least one eye during the CAE exposure.
Extranasal Application
n=143 Participants
Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator device applied extranasally (control) for approximately 3 minutes on Day 0 when the participant experienced an ODS ≥ 3 at 2 or more consecutive time points in at least one eye during the CAE exposure.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Pre-application to Post-application on Day 0

Population: Participants from the Full Analysis Set (FAS) Population, all randomized participants who initiated a study application, who received both intranasal and extranasal applications.

The participant graded their eye discomfort prior to CAE entry, during CAE exposure to threshold, then starting 1 minute after treatment application every 5 minutes in each eye separately using the Ora Calibra ODS where: 0=no discomfort to 4=constant discomfort. Data from the analysis eye was used to determine effectiveness. The analysis eye was defined as the eye that reached the threshold triggering the first application or if both eyes reach the threshold at the same time, the eye with the higher discomfort score or if both eyes are the same, the right eye was used. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. A cross-over linear model was used with symptom relief as the response variable; sequence, application location, period, and the application location by period interaction as fixed effects; and participant (sequence) as a random effect.
