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.

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 (CFB) in Total Corneal Fluorescein Staining (tCFS) at Day 57
Time Frame: Assessed from Baseline to Day 57
Corneal Fluorescein Staining (tCFS) is graded based on the NEI scale. The NEI scale divides the cornea in 5 subregions: central, inferior, superior, nasal, temporal. The score for each region ranges from 0-3; 0 corresponds to no staining, 3 corresponds to maximum staining. The total score is the sum of the 5 subregions ranging from 0-15.
Assessed from Baseline to Day 57
Change From Baseline of Dryness Score at Day 57
Time Frame: Assessed from Baseline to Day 57
Dryness Score is rated on a visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0-100; 0 corresponds to no discomfort and 100 to maximum discomfort).
Assessed from Baseline to Day 57

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.
