Clinical Details

Official title: A Study to Assess Alcon's Ocular Image Quantification Using Conjunctival Allergan Provocation Testing (CAPT) and Natural Allergen Exposure in an Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC)

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Diagnostic

Primary outcome:

Change From Baseline in Patient-Assessed Ocular Itching, Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC), at 3 Hours

Change From Baseline in Patient-Assessed Ocular Itching, Conjunctival Allergen Provocation Test (CAPT), at 3 Hours

Detailed description: Subjects demonstrating a successful allergen response to a common allergen received the first study treatment and used as instructed for 5 days, after which they entered the Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC) for a 3-hour exposure to a known concentration of the allergen. After waiting at least 7 days, subjects received the second study treatment and used as instructed for 5 days, after which a 3-hour Conjunctival Allergen Provocation Test (CAPT) was performed with an escalating concentration of the allergen. Subjects dosed with study treatment approximately 15 minutes prior to each allergen provocation test.
