Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

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.

Detailed Description

Single-site, open-labeled study. Twenty two subjects will be enrolled into the healthy adult group and twenty two subjects into the dry eye group. Each subject will be in the study for approximately 2 weeks (treatment) and seen at three study Visits: Visit 1 (Day 0, Baseline), Visit 2 (Day 7 +/- 1) and Visit 3 (Day 14 +/- 1). Dosing regimen is 1-2 drops into each eye, four times daily, for two weeks. Assessments will be comprised of visual acuity, slit lamp biomicroscopy, fluorescein corneal staining, and product comfort.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Post-dose Product Comfort
Time Frame: baseline, Within Two weeks
Product (ocular) comfort was assessed for each eye immediately, and at 1, 2, and 3 minutes following dosing at Visit 1 and 3 using a scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 is very uncomfortable and 10 is very comfortable.
baseline, Within Two weeks
Change from Baseline in Pre-Dose Visual Acuity
Time Frame: baseline, Within Two weeks
Change from Baseline in Pre-Treatment Means of Pre-Dose Visual Acuity on the LogMAR scale. (The LogMAR scale converts the geometric sequence of a traditional chart to a linear scale. It measures visual acuity loss; positive values indicate vision loss, while negative values denote normal or better visual acuity.)

Time Frame: baseline, Within Two weeks
Means and Differences from Visit 1 in Pre-Dose Inferior Staining
baseline, Within Two weeks
Change from Baseline in Mean Corneal Staining
