Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary Outcomes: To evaluate the effect of XanMax 2002, XanMax 2004 TZ, and XanMax 2022 compared to placebo on: 1.Change in mean Macular Pigment Optical Density MPOD from baseline Visit 1 Day 0 to Visit 2 Day 45 and Visit 3 Day 90. 2.Change in overall sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index PSQI from baseline Visit 1 Day 0 to Visit 2 Day 45 and Visit 3 Day 90.Timepoint: Day 0 Day 45 and Day 90

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Outcomes: To evaluate the safety and additional efficacy of XanMax 2002, XanMax 2004 TZ, and XanMax 2022 compared to placebo from baseline (Visit 1, Day 0) to Visit 2 (Day 45) and Visit 3 (Day 90), as assessed by the following: 1. Change in photo stress recovery time from baseline (Visit 1, Day 0) to Visit 2 (Day 45) and Visit 3 (Day 90) among the four study arms. 2. Change in glare disability scores from baseline (Visit 1, Day 0) to Visit 2 (Day 45) and Visit 3 (Day 90) among the four study arms. 3. Change in central foveal thickness, as measured by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), from baseline (Visit 1, Day 0) to Visit 2 (Day 45) and Visit 3 (Day 90) among the four study arms 4. Change in eye strain and eye fatigue using Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) from baseline (Visit 1, Day 0) to Visit 2 (Day 45) and Visit 3 (Day 90).Timepoint: Day 0, Day 45 and Day 90.;5. Change in outcomes associated with prolonged blue light exposure from digital devices, including eye strain and fatigue, headache frequency, and glare tolerance, from baseline (Visit 1, Day 0) to Visit 2 (Day 45) and Visit 3 (Day 90). 6. Change in stress related parameters, including feelings of occasional stress (using validated scales) from baseline (Visit 1, Day 0) to Visit 2 (Day 45) and Visit 3 (Day 90)and serum cortisol levels, from baseline (Visit 1, Day 0) to Visit 3 (Day 90).Timepoint: Day 0 Day 45 and Day 90;7. Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) from baseline (Visit 1, Day 0) through Visit 3 (Day 90). 8. Changes in vital signs, laboratory parameters, and physical examination findings from baseline (Visit 1, Day 0) to Visit 2 (Day 45) and Visit 3 (Day 90). Timepoint: Day 0 Day 45 and Day 90
