Trial Outcomes & Findings for A 8 Weeks Study to Evaluate Efficacy & Safety of rhNGF vs Vehicle in Patients After Cataract and Refractive Surgery (NCT NCT03035864)

NCT ID: NCT03035864

Last Updated: 2024-04-19

Results Overview

The Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye (SANDE) questionnaire is a short questionnaire to evaluate both dry eye intensity and frequency by using a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS). The patient symptoms of ocular dryness and/or irritation were quantified on the scale based on two questions that assessed both the severity and frequency of symptoms. The SANDE score is calculated by taking the square root of the product of the frequency of symptoms score and the severity of symptoms score. The SANDE scale ranges from 0 to 100 with 100 being the maximal amount of dry eye symptoms and 0 being the minimal amount of dry eye symptoms.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 8

Population: Full Analysis Set population. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) imputation method.

Corneal Staining was derived as the sum of scores of the five corneal sectors (central, superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal) each of which was scored on a scale of 0-3, with a minimum score of 0 and a maximal score of 15 (sum \> 3 out of 15 is abnormal).

Population: As of this secondary endpoint, FAS Population was taken into account, but the last observation carried forward (LOCF) imputation method was not applied. Due to the reason mentioned above, the patients actually analysed (n) were the following: Week 4 - 110 rhNGF; 58 vehicle Week 8 - 107 rhNGF; 58 vehicle Week 12 - 107 rhNGF; 55 vehicle

Conjunctival Staining was derived as the sum of scores of the conjunctival area (nasal-superior paralimbal, nasal-inferior paralimbal, nasal-peripheral, temporal-superior paralimbal, temporal-inferior paralimbal, temporal-peripheral) with a grading scale of 0-3 and with a minimum score of 0 and a maximal score of 18 (18 indicates the most abnormal score). Grades increase with the number and density of dots. Data for the main eye are reported.

The TFBUT measurement was performed after instillation of 5 microliters of 2% sodium fluorescein solution into the inferior conjunctival cul-de-sac of each eye. The patient was instructed to blink several times to thoroughly mix the fluorescein with the tear film. Data for the main eye are reported.

Corneal sensation was measured in both eyes in each of the four quadrants of the cornea using the Cochet Bonnet aesthesiometer before the instillation of any dilating or anesthetic eye drops. The handheld esthesiometer (Cochet-Bonnet) is a device that contains a thin, retractable, nylon monofilament that extends up to 6 cm in length. Variable pressure can be applied by the device by adjusting the length. The monofilament ranges from 60 mm to 5 mm and as the length is decreased the pressure increases from 11 mm/gm to 200 mm/gm. Data for the main eye are reported.
