Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

At least 200 dry eye patients (with at least 40% of patients with elevated biomarkers for ocular surface inflammation) will be enrolled at approximately 15-20 sites. Approximately 40-50 patients will be enrolled in the control group.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Males at least 55 years old or females, at least 40 years old with perimenopausal symptoms
  • Baseline OSDI score of ≥ 13
  • Patients with mild to moderate dry eye (dry eye disease patients only; not applicable for control group)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Use of any topical cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion within 3 months of baseline
  • History of herpes keratitis or varicella zoster keratitis
  • Any history of allergic conjunctivitis
  • Temporary or permanent occlusion or cauterization of the lacrimal puncta for either eye
  • Any anterior segment surgery involving a limbal or corneal incision (cataract surgery), keratorefractive procedure (LASIK, LASEK, PRK) within 12 months of baseline, or expectation of such surgery within 2 years
  • Patients with known systemic disease
  • Any history of corneal transplant

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Patients with dry eye
No treatment is prescribed for the study. Patient dry eye progression will be followed for up to 60 months. Patients may use artificial tears to treat their dry eye symptoms.
Other: Artificial Tears
Artificial tears (any brand) may be used to treat dry eye symptoms.
Patients with no history of dry eye
No treatment is prescribed for this control group. Patients will be followed for up to 60 months. If needed, patients may use artificial tears.
Other: Artificial Tears
Artificial tears (any brand) may be used to treat dry eye symptoms.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Percentage of Patients with Progression of Dry Eye Disease
Time Frame: Baseline, 60 Months
Baseline, 60 Months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in Ocular Surface Disease Index© (OSDI©) Score
Time Frame: Baseline, 60 Months

General Publications

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
February 1, 2009

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
