Registered outcomes7

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryOcular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Score Change (1 Month Post Treatment Initiation)1 month post initiation change in OSDI score
The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) is assessed on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores representing greater disability. The index demonstrates sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing between normal subjects and patients with dry eye disease.
PrimaryCorneal Stainingat baseline and at 1-month post treatment initiation
Corneal fluorescein staining, pre and post initiation of 0.05% cyclosporine treatment, is measured using the National Eye Institute (NEI) grading system. The NEI grading scale is a system for grading corneal fluorescein staining which divides the corneal surface into 5 areas \[central, superior, nasal, inferior, temporal\]. A standardized grading system of 0 to 3, with 0 being no staining (better outcome) and 3 being severe staining (worse outcome), is used for each of the areas of cornea. The scores from each corneal area are totaled to determine the total corneal staining score in each eye. The total corneal staining score has a minimum score of zero (better outcome) and a maximum score of 15 (worse outcome) for an individual eye.
PrimaryConjunctival Stainingbaseline and 1-month post treatment initiation
Conjunctival fluorescein staining, pre and post initiation of 0.05% cyclosporine treatment, is measured using the National Eye Institute (NEI) grading system. The NEI grading scale is a system for grading conjunctival fluorescein staining which divides the conjunctival surface into 6 areas. A standardized grading system of 0 to 3, with 0 being no staining (better outcome) and 3 being severe staining (worse outcome), is used for each of the areas of conjunctiva. The scores from each conjunctival area are totaled to determine the total conjunctival staining score in each eye. The total conjunctival staining score has a minimum score of zero (better outcome) and a maximum score of 18 (worse outcome) for an individual eye.
PrimaryVisual Acuityat baseline and 1-month post treatment initiation
Subjects vision was tested using Snellen visual acuity chart (converted to LogMAR scale) pre and post initiation of 0.05% cyclosporine treatment. The LogMAR scale ranges from +3.00 to -0.30. A Zero LogMAR indicates standard 20/20 vision. More negative logMAR scale vision indicates better vision. More positive logMAR scale vision indicates worse vision. Legal blindness is defined as a best-corrected visual acuity of +1.0 LogMAR pr worse in the better seeing eye.
PrimaryConjunctival Rednessbaseline and one month post treatment initiation
The Efron Grading Scales for Contact Lens Complications includes a standardized method for quantifying the level of conjunctival redness noted on slit lamp examination. The scale ranges, in whole numbers, from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating that conjunctival redness is not present (better outcome) and 4 indicating that the most severe redness is present (worse outcome).
PrimaryTolerability Questionnaire Scorebaseline and one month post initiation treatment
Subjects completed questionnaires regarding PROSE device comfort and fit (Tolerability Questionnaire, scale 0 to 10, higher score means better outcome), measured pre and post initiation of 0.05% cyclosporine treatment. Total tolerability score is a composite score sum of SIX questions (maximum score of 60).
PrimaryAutomated Conjunctival Redness Without PROSE Device on the Eyebaseline and one month post treatment initiation
Conjunctival redness score measured using the automated imaging system Keratograph 5M R-Scan. The Keratograph 5M R-scan is an imaging device which classifies bulbar and limbal conjunctival redness. The R-Scan detects blood vessels in the conjunctiva and evaluates the degree of redness. The minimum score per eye is 0 (no redness present, better outcome), while the maximum score per eye is 4 (most severe redness present, worse outcome).
