Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the microbiological and clinical efficacy of Auriclosene compared to its vehicle for bacterial conjunctivitis. Adults and children one year of age and older with bacterial conjunctivitis in at least one eye may be eligible. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either Auriclosene Ophthalmic Solution or Vehicle Ophthalmic Solution.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (1:1) double-masked, vehicle-controlled, multi-center, parallel group study with two treatment arms: Auriclosene Ophthalmic Solution 0.3% ("Auriclosene") and Auriclosene Vehicle ("Vehicle").

Subjects that meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled into the study, randomized and evaluated at 3 visits:

  • Visit 1: Screening, Day 1
  • Visit 2: Day 3 (±1)
  • Visit 3: Day 5 (+1) Test of Cure/Exit

IP will be dosed OU (both eyes) QID for 4 days. Microbiological specimens will be collected from each eye at each visit.

Visual Acuity will be assessed OU at each visit as well as rating of the ocular signs: lid erythema and swelling, bulbar and palpebralconjunctival injection, and conjunctival discharge/exudate.

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 28, 2015, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
