Dry Eye Disease |
| Purpose: |
|
This is a global study of tear osmolarity using the OcuSense TearLab technology to compare
tear samples of age and sex-matched normals with those with Dry Eye Disease (DED).
Diagnosis of DED subjects will be established using objective and subjective tests.
Positive responses to 3 out of 6 defined criteria determine subjects with DED. DED subjects
will be further categorized by severity, using results from the objective and subjective
tests. Subjects will be assessed at a single visit.
|
| Study summary: |
|
This is a multicenter study. A total of 500 subjects are expected to be enrolled at 10
sites located in the United States, Europe and Japan. It is anticipated that each site will
enroll approximately 50 subjects.
Objectives:
- Primary: To establish OcuSense TearLab Osmometry (OTO) normative values, and referent
values to diagnose dry eye disease (DED)
- Secondary:
- To establish the relationship between OTO values and the severity of DED.
- To assess the effect on diagnostic accuracy of adding additional categories of
diagnostic test results, e.g. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and /or Tear
Break-up Film Test (TBUT).
- To assess the effect of age and sex on the range of OTO values in normal subjects.
- To establish the variance of right eye (RE)/left eye (LE) OTO values in normal subjects
and in subjects with DED.
- To establish the accuracy of single eye OTO values versus bilateral values in
diagnosing DED.
- To assess the range of OTO values in symptomatic subjects without signs of DED and in
DED subjects of varying severity as judged by the clinical severity scale. |
