Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

Subjects will first be dispensed preservative-free 0.9% saline eye drops (saline eye drops) to be used during the Run-in phase between Screening Visit and Day 0 (Visit 1). Subjects who qualify will be randomized in a 1:1 manner to receive either treatment with SYSTANE® HYDRATION Lubricant Eye Drops or Hyabak 0.15% Eye Drops.

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

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  • History of ocular or intraocular surgery or serious ocular trauma in either eye within 6 months prior to Screening Visit;
  • Any medical condition (systemic or ophthalmic) that may, in the opinion of the Investigator, preclude the safe administration of study products or safe participation in the study;
  • Use of any topical ocular over-the-counter or prescribed medications in either eye (with the exception of artificial tears/gels/ lubricants) 2 weeks prior to Screening Visit;
  • Contact lens use within 2 weeks prior to Screening Visit and unwilling to avoid contact lens use during the course of the study;

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
Change From Baseline in Total Ocular Surface Staining (TOSS) Score at Day 42
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Day 42
The TOSS score is a cumulative cornea and conjunctival staining score. After instilling ophthalmic dye in the eye, the investigator graded 3 areas of the ocular surface for dryness on a scale from 0 to 5, where 0=Absent and 5=Severe. The 3 scores were summed for a resultant overall 0-15 score. A more negative change value indicates greater efficacy. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.
Baseline (Day 0), Day 42

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in IDEEL Treatment Effectiveness Score at Day 42
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Day 42
The IDEEL is 10-question patient-reported outcome questionnaire that assesses the subject's general satisfaction with treatment use. A resultant overall 0-100 satisfaction score was calculated, with a higher score indicating greater satisfaction and less treatment-related bother.
Baseline (Day 0), Day 42
Change From Baseline in IDEEL Treatment Inconvenience Score at Day 42
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Day 42
The IDEEL is 10-question patient-reported outcome questionnaire that assesses the subject's general satisfaction with treatment use. A resultant overall 0-100 satisfaction score was calculated, with a higher score indicating greater satisfaction and less treatment-related bother.
Baseline (Day 0), Day 42
Change From Baseline in Tear Film Break-up Time (TFBUT) at Day 42
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Day 42
TFBUT is defined as the time elapsed from the last blink until 1 or more dry spots appeared in the precorneal tear film. A longer tear film break-up time indicates a more stable tear film and may lead to improvement in dry eye symptoms. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.
Baseline (Day 0), Day 42
