Study summary

A randomized, double blind, phase II multicenter trial with the objective of assess the safety and efficacy of the PRO-157 ophthalmic solution in three different dosing regimens, versus Moxifloxacin, versus Gatifloxacin in patients with bacterial conjunctivitis.

Number of participants: 300 eyes, 60 per group.

Criteria for evaluation:

Measurements of effectiveness: Main efficacy criterion It will be determined as effective if there is a reduction in number or species of bacterial flora by comparing the basal culture against the final culture among the five different patient groups.

Reduction or absence of infection with the clinical evaluation through signs and symptoms.

Safety Measurements: it will be determined by visual acuity and adverse events Patients recruited will be treated for 7, for protocol purpose, the infected eye (s) will be taken into account at the time of baseline, however the study medication and procedures will be applied and performed in both eyes to protect the healthy eye.

The study is divided into the following evaluation periods:

Visit 1 baseline (day 1), visit 2 (day 3), final visit (day 8) and a telephone call (day 23) for the evaluation of adverse events.

Subjects will be allocated to any of the following regimen dosages:

  • PRO-157 1 drop 2 times daily
  • PRO-157 1 drop 3 times daily
  • PRO-157 1 drop 4 times daily
  • Moxifloxacin 1 drop 3 times daily
  • Gatifloxacin 1 drop 3 times daily. All regimen dosage will have a duration of 7 days. An artificial tear preservative free (Lagricel Ofteno®) will also be applied 15 minutes before instillation of study drug, during study period.

Data Analysis: The data will be analyzed by Intention to Treat (ITT) and per Protocol (PP) in which each of the variables is described, the ITT population will be constituted by all subjects recruited who have received at least one dose of the study, the PP population will be the subset of ITT composed of all subjects without any major deviation from the protocol and the bivariate analysis will be performed in this group.

Continuous quantitative variables are expressed and presented by measures of central tendency and dispersion (mean, standard deviation and ranges). Qualitative nominal and ordinal variables are presented by means of frequencies and proportions. The level of significance was an alpha of 0.05 or less.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Obtained from physician office visit.
  • Diagnosis of bacterial conjunctivitis (signs and / or symptoms and / or culture).
  • signed and dated (consent of the parents for minor patients).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • absence of written .
  • Women of childbearing age, without use (oral contraceptive pill, contraceptive intrauterine device, contraceptive implant, patch or condom).
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  • Subjects that could not be evaluated partially or totally according to the protocol.
  • Subjects with topical, systemic or intravenous medication with any type of antibiotic on the day of the baseline visit.
  • Subjects with topical, systemic or intravenous medication with any type of medication that interferes decisively with the results of the study.
  • Subjects with a history to any component or analogues of the formulation product.
  • Positive drug addiction (smoking, alcoholism, marijuana).
  • Subjects with a history of participation in any clinical study in the last 40 days prior to their evaluation.
  • incapacity to give informed consent owing to mental disorder or legal condition.
  • Any major anomaly detected during the clinical examination, tests that could interfere with the performance of the study or with the efficacy and safety evaluations.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline Bacterial Culture

    Efficacy will be determined comparing the cultures of the lower conjunctival pouch, of the baseline (day 1) against final visit (day 8), quantifying and identifying the colony forming units (CFU) by genus and species. The evaluated variable is discrete quantitative type and the scale of measurement used will be CFU x mL considering the eradication, reduction or proliferation of the bacterial agent. It will be determined as effective if there is a reduction in number of bacterial flora in at least 95% of the evaluated subjects.

    Time frame: up to one week

  2. Adverse Events

    Number of adverse events: dependent variable, discrete quantitative, the number of adverse events per group will be compared at the end of the study and it will be considered safe if there is not greater increase of 5% of serious adverse events.
