Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in the Ocular Surface Disease Index© (OSDI©) Score
Baseline, Day 90

The OSDI© consists of 12 questions the patient is asked measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. Each of the 12 questions was assessed using a 5-point scale where 0=none of the time and 4=all of the time. The score is converted to a 0 to 100-point score where 0 is no symptoms and 100 is most symptoms. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Tolerability Survey Score Using a 100 Unit Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in Period 1
After 14 days of treatment in Period 1 (Follow-up 1 Day 14)

Tolerability was assessed using an 8-item survey consisting of 4 positive questions: comfort, soothing, moistening/lubricating and vision clarity and 4 negative questions: stickiness, blur, burning/stinging and discomfort. Participants were instructed to think about their experience over the past week and place a vertical line on the line that best captured how they felt the first 30 minutes after the study drops were administered using the scale: 0 far left of the line to 100 far right on the line. The individual positive scores are added together to obtain the total positive tolerability score from 0 (worst) to 400 (best) and the individual negative scores are added together to obtain the total negative tolerability score for a total possible score of 0 (best) to 400 (worst).

Tolerability Survey Score Using a 100 Unit Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in Period 2
After 14 days of treatment in Period 2 (Follow-up 2 Day 35)

Tolerability was assessed using an 8-item survey consisting of 4 positive questions: comfort, soothing, moistening/lubricating and vision clarity and 4 negative questions: stickiness, blur, burning/stinging and discomfort. Participants were instructed to think about their experience over the past week and place a vertical line on the line that best captured how they felt the first 30 minutes after the study drops were administered using the scale: 0 far left of the line to 100 far right on the line. The individual positive scores are added together to obtain the total positive tolerability score from 0 (worst) to 400 (best) and the individual negative scores are added together to obtain the total negative tolerability score for a total possible score of 0 (best) to 400 (worst).

Frequently asked questions about Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye

What is Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye used for?

Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye is an investigational small molecule being developed for Dry Eye Syndromes. It is a lubricant eye drop formulation studied in patients with moderate to severe dry eye. The drug is in Phase 3 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

Who makes Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye?

AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) is developing Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye. The company is conducting Phase 3 clinical trials for this investigational treatment for Dry Eye Syndromes. AbbVie is responsible for the drug's development and regulatory pathway.

What phase is Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye in?

Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye is in Phase 3 clinical development. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, with a total of 321 participants enrolled. The drug remains investigational and has not received FDA approval for Dry Eye Syndromes.

What clinical trials is Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye in?

Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye has completed two Phase 3 trials: NCT02455050, comparing the formulation with Systane Gel Drops and Genteal Lubricant Gel Drops in 79 patients, and NCT02553772, a safety and efficacy study in 242 patients with dry eye disease. Both trials are completed.

How does Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye work?

Carboxymethylcellulose Based Eye works as a lubricant for the eye surface, providing relief for dry eye symptoms. It is formulated with carboxymethylcellulose, a compound that helps retain moisture on the ocular surface. The drug is administered as eye drops to alleviate discomfort associated with Dry Eye Syndromes.
