Study summary

Title of the study Efficacy and safety of PRO-155 (Zebesten ofteno®) on inflammation of the conjunctival surface in subjects with grade I-III pterygium vs placebo.

Hypothesis H0. The Zebesten® ophthalmic solution (bromfenac 0.09%) is less effective and safe than placebo in reducing conjunctival hyperemia in subjects with grade I-III pterygium.

H1 The Zebesten® ophthalmic solution (bromfenac 0.09%) is more effective and safe than placebo in reducing conjunctival hyperemia in subjects with grade I-III pterygium.

Objective

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of PRO-155 (bromfenac 009%) ophthalmic solution in the treatment of conjunctival hyperemia and ocular surface inflammation in a clinical model of pterygium grade I to III.

Read the detailed description

Variables to be evaluated Visual ability Intraocular pressure. Ocular surface Exploration of the previous segment. Exploration of the posterior segment. Lacrimal rupture time. Corneal de-epithelialization Conjunctival de-epithelialization Adverse events.

PHARMACOLOGICAL INTERVENTION

  • Group 1:

    • Sodium hyaluronate 0.4% [Lagricel ofteno®] 1 drop 3 times a day in the period of vigil in the conjunctival sac fund (the following application scheme is suggested: start: 7:00 ± 1 hours, continuation: 15:00 ± 1 hour and term: at 19:00 ± 1 hours) for 20 days
    • Pro-155 1 drop 2 times a day in the period of vigil in the conjunctival cul-de-sac (the following application scheme is recommended: start: 7:15 ± 1 hours and term: at 19:15 ± 1 hours) during 20 days
  • Group 2:

    • Sodium hyaluronate 0.4% [Lagricel ofteno®] 1 drop 3 times a day in the period of vigil in the conjunctival sac fund (the following application scheme is suggested: start: 7:00 ± 1 hours, continuation: 15:00 ± 1 hour and term: at 19:00 ± 1 hours) for 20 days
    • Placebo 1 drop 2 times a day in the period of vigil in the conjunctival cul-de-sac (the following application scheme is recommended: start: 7:15 ± 1 hours and term: at 19:15 ± 1 hours) for 20 days

Accepts healthy volunteers
No

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

  • Age of 18 to 90 years.
  • Both genders.
  • Clinical diagnosis of grade I to III pterygium (temporal, nasal, or bitemporal).
  • Possibility of going to the revisions when indicated.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with topical or systemic medication that interfere decisively in the results of the study; such as topical immunomodulators, NSAIDs, antihistamines, , artificial tears with conservative, vasoconstrictors etc.
  • Subjects (female) with active sexual life who do not use a method.
  • Subjects of the female sex in a pregnant state or who are breastfeeding.
  • Subjects of the female sex with pregnancy test in positive urine.
  • Positive substance abuse
  • Subjects who have participated in any clinical research study in the last 40 days.
  • Subjects legally or mentally incapacitated to give their for their participation in this study.
  • Subjects that can not comply with the appointments or with all the requirements of the Protocol.
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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

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.

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. Conjunctival Hyperemia (CH)

    Conjunctival hyperemia will be evaluated as an ordinal variable, by direct observation and staged using the Efron scale as Normal / Very Light / Mild / Moderate / Severe. Based on this scale, the normal and mild stages are considered without pathologies or normal. Mild, moderate and severe are considered pathological.

    Time frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 21)

    Time frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 21)

  2. Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

    Time frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 21)

  3. Presence of Adverse Events (EAS)

    primary security variable the adverse events will be evaluated with a scale of Present / Absent, it is a nominal variable, the normal value is absent. Adverse events that are reported until the safety call to the 36th day of the study will be considered for this variable

    Time frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 36)

  4. Visual Capacity

    The visual capacity variable will be reported using as a unit of measure a fraction, this is taken from a visual test with the Snellen primer, it is a Nominal type variable. where the optimal vision is 20/20.

  5. Number of Eyes With Chemosis

    In a normal eye there is no presence of chemosis (it is a sign of irritation of the eye, in which the outer covering of the eye can look like a large blister) its presence indicates a pathological state and it will be evaluated if the subjects present it. The chemosis will be evaluated, as a nominal variable, by direct observation and it will be staged as present and absent, where the normality is that said variable is absent.

    Time frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 21)

  6. Number of Eyes With Foreign Body Sensation (FBS)

    Foreign body sensation will be evaluated, as a nominal variable, by direct observation and it will be staged as present and absent, where the normality is that said variable is absent.

    Time frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 21)

  7. Epithelial Defects (ED) Fluorescein Stain

    The epithelial defects will be evaluated by means of two stains, green lysine and fluorescein, it is a discrete variable that will be realized by direct observation, it will be staged according to the degrees of the oxford scale that go from 0 to 5 (0-V) according to its severity, where 0 is the normal lower limit and 5 the upper limit of defects.

    Time frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 21)

Other outcomes

  1. Number of Eyes With Ocular Burning (OB)

    primary tolerability variable Ocular burning is a nominal variable that will be evaluated by direct questioning to the research subject, then it will be staged according to the following scale: Severity: Absent, very mild, mild, moderate and severe, where the normality of severity is absent.Frequency: At all times, almost at all times, 50% of the time, almost in no time, at any time. where the normality of the frequency is in no time.

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 Nov 20, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
