Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of SAF312 as an Eye Drop for Treatment of Eye Pain Following Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) Surgery (NCT NCT02961062)

NCT ID: NCT02961062

Last Updated: 2021-10-06

Results Overview

VAS pain severity scale pre-dose, 6 hours post-operatively. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a commonly used measurement of pain, discomfort, that goes from 0 meaning no pain to 100 meaning worst imaginable pain

Participant Flow

A total of 40 patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to two treatment sequences: SAF312 followed by Vehicle, or Vehicle followed by SAF312.

Bilateral crossover design: A crossover design was utilized in order to decrease the inter-patient variability due to different pain tolerance in different individuals.
