A Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Lifitegrast in Subjects With Dry Eye

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

Study Type Interventional
Study Design Allocation: Randomized;   Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment;   Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor);   Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition Dry Eye Disease
Interventions Drug: Lifitegrast
Drug: Placebo
Enrollment 720
Recruitment Details  
Pre-assignment Details Two of 720 participants were excluded from data analysis due to duplication. Therefore, 718 participants were randomized and treated. One participant from placebo arm (N=360) has taken study drug by mistake and considered for "Lifitegrast" arm (N=358). Therefore, Placebo (N=359), Lifitegrast (N=359) were considered for safety analysis.

1.Primary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in Inferior Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score to Day 84
Hide Description Corneal staining was performed to grade the degree of corneal epithelial cell injury as measured by fluorescence using slit-lamp examination. The corneal surface is divided into three regions: superior, central and inferior. The scores for each of these 3 regions ranged from 0 to 4 (0=no staining; 1=few/rare punctate lesions; 2=discrete and countable lesions; 3=lesions too numerous to count, but not coalescent; 4=coalescent) with 0.5 point increments, and lower scores indicate improvement. Inferior corneal fluorescein staining scores from the study eye only were reported. Study eye is the 'worse eye', defined as the eye with worse (higher) score at baseline.

2.Primary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in Eye Dryness Score (Visual Analogue Scale) to Day 84
Hide Description Eye dryness score was assessed on a visual analogue scale (a 7-item [burning/stinging, itching, foreign body sensation, eye discomfort, eye dryness, photophobia, and pain], participant-reported, symptom index) with scores ranging from 0 to 100 (0=no discomfort; 100=maximal discomfort) and lower scores indicate a better outcome.

Adverse Event Reporting Description One participant from placebo group (N=360) has taken study drug by mistake and considered for "Lifitegrast" group (N=358). Therefore, Placebo (N)= 359, Lifitegrast (N)=359 were considered for safety analysis.
