  • Willing to complete all required study procedures and visits.
  • Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women who are pregnant, lactating, or planning a pregnancy.
  • Only 1 sighted eye or vision not correctable to 0.6 logMAR or better in either eye.
  • Planned contact lens wear during the course of the study.
  • Signs and symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis for longer than 4 days prior to Screening (Day 1).
  • Suspected fungal, viral, or Acanthamoeba infection.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Clinical Cure Rate

    Ocular signs of bacterial conjunctivitis (bulbar conjunctival injection and conjunctival discharge/exudates) were rated by the investigator on a 4-point scale, with 0=normal/absent; 1=mild; 2=moderate, and 3=severe. Clinical cure rate is presented as the percentage of participants for which the sum of the numerical scores for the 2 cardinal ocular signs of bacterial conjunctivitis was 0 at Day 9 TOC/Exit Visit.

    Time frame: Day 9

  2. Microbiological Success Rate

    Microbiological specimen(s) from the affected eye(s) were collected according to a protocol-defined process. Microbiological success rate is presented as the percentage of participants for which the pre-therapy pathogens at Visit 1 (Day 1) were eradicated at Day 9 TOC/Exit Visit.

    Time frame: Day 9

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
Not marked actual or estimatedDates not marked actual or estimated

The record gives a start of May 2012, a primary completion of Apr 2014 and a completion of Apr 2014. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in May 2015, 1 year 1 month after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 12, 2015, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
