Brief summary

This study will evaluate a new ophthalmic formulation of cyclosporine (Restasis® X) in patients with moderate to severe dry eye disease in two stages. Up to 3 doses will be studied in Stage 2 based on results from Stage 1. No patients participating in Stage 1 will participate in Stage 2 of this study. This study was terminated and Stage 2 of the study was cancelled.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)First dose of study drug to up to 24 WeeksAn adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. TEAEs are AEs with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Corneal Staining Score Using a 6-Point ScaleBaseline (Day 1) to Week 12Total corneal staining with sodium fluorescein was measured in the study eye using the 6-point Oxford scale \[Grade 0: \<2 dots (best), Grade 1: ≥2 to ≤10 dots, Grade 2: \>10 to ≤32 dots, Grade 3: \>32 to ≤100 dots, Grade 4: \>100 to ≤316 dots and Grade 5: \>316 dots or ulcer/erosion (worst)\]. The study eye was defined as the eye that received the dosing level of the treatment received. A negative change from Baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement). Corneal Staining Score was originally registered as a Primary endpoint but it is actually an exploratory endpoint.

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. TEAEs are AEs with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.

Time frame: First dose of study drug to up to 24 Weeks

Population: Safety Population included all participants who received at least one dose of study drug.

Change From Baseline in Corneal Staining Score Using a 6-Point Scale

Total corneal staining with sodium fluorescein was measured in the study eye using the 6-point Oxford scale \[Grade 0: \<2 dots (best), Grade 1: ≥2 to ≤10 dots, Grade 2: \>10 to ≤32 dots, Grade 3: \>32 to ≤100 dots, Grade 4: \>100 to ≤316 dots and Grade 5: \>316 dots or ulcer/erosion (worst)\]. The study eye was defined as the eye that received the dosing level of the treatment received. A negative change from Baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement). Corneal Staining Score was originally registered as a Primary endpoint but it is actually an exploratory endpoint.

Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12

Population: Modified Intent-to-treat (mITT) Population included all participant who received study treatment and had Baseline and at least 1 post-baseline assessment. Analyses includes participants who had data at both Baseline and Week 12.
