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 attend 6 scheduled study visits for an individual duration of participation of 6 weeks. One eye (study eye) will be followed.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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

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
Corneal staining
Time Frame: Up to Day 30 post-operative
The National Eye Institute (NEI) grading scale will be used to evaluate the five corneal regions: Superior, inferior, central, temporal and nasal. Each region will be graded on a 0-3 scale, where 0 = normal (no staining), 1 = mild/superficial stippling micropunctate staining, 2 = moderate/macropunctate staining with some coalescent areas, and 3 = severe/numerous coalescent macropunctate areas and/or patches. The regions will be summed for a resultant overall score of 0 to 15.
Up to Day 30 post-operative

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
DEQ-5 Score
Time Frame: Up to Day 30 post-operative
The Dry Eye Questionnaire-5 (DEQ-5) is a patient-reported outcome measures questionnaire designed to assess symptoms of dry eye disease. Subjects will respond to 5 questions using a 0-4 Likert-type scale, for a resultant overall score of 0 (best) to 20 (worst).
Up to Day 30 post-operative
Ocular Comfort Questionnaire Score: My eyes are comfortable
Time Frame: Up to Day 30 post-operative
Subjects will provide a comfort score (strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree) to the following question: "My eyes are comfortable."
Up to Day 30 post-operative
Ocular Comfort Questionnaire Score: At the end of the day, my eyes feel comfortable
Time Frame: Up to Day 30 post-operative
Subjects will provide a comfort score (strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree) to the following question: "At the end of the day, my eyes feel comfortable."
Up to Day 30 post-operative
Ocular Comfort Questionnaire Score: My eyes are comfortable all day long
Time Frame: Up to Day 30 post-operative
Subjects will provide a comfort score (strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree) to the following question: "My eyes are comfortable all day long."
Up to Day 30 post-operative
