Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cyclosporine Eye Drops in Preventing Graft-Versus-Host Disease of the Eye in Patients Who Have Undergone Donor Stem Cell Transplant for Hematologic Cancer or Bone Marrow Failure Disorder (NCT NCT00755040)

NCT ID: NCT00755040

Last Updated: 2017-03-07

Results Overview

Data analysis will be performed on an intention-to-treat basis. Logistic regression will be used to estimate the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of the two treatment groups with the adjustment of baseline covariates. Outcome comparisons for categorical/dichotomous variables will be assessed by 2 test or Fisher's exact test where expected cell frequencies were \<5; continuous variables will be compared by X/2 test or by Mann-Whitney U test where the data are strongly skewed.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 2 years after transplantation

Population: Number of patients that develop ocular GVHD while on study

Data analysis will be performed on an intention-to-treat basis. Logistic regression will be used to estimate the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of the two treatment groups with the adjustment of baseline covariates. Outcome comparisons for categorical/dichotomous variables will be assessed by 2 test or Fisher's exact test where expected cell frequencies were \<5; continuous variables will be compared by X/2 test or by Mann-Whitney U test where the data are strongly skewed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year after transplant

Population: Not collected/analysed due to staffing constraints

OSDI is a patient reported questionnaire consisting of 12 questions which are scored from 0 to 4. The total scored is computed and depending on the number of questions answered scores are computed which are then categorized into mild, moderate or severe dry eye symptoms. This tool should adequately reflect the morbidity of the dry eye symptoms.
