To compare the safety and tolerability of brimonidine tartrate 0.025%/ketotifen fumarate 0.035% combination ophthalmic solution versus its vehicle in healthy adult subjects and in pediatric subjects.
The study will consist of 4-5 study visits to compare the safety and tolerability of brimonidine tartrate 0.025%/ketotifen fumarate 0.035% combination ophthalmic solution versus its vehicle in healthy adult subjects and in pediatric subjects with a history or family history of atopic disease (including allergic conjunctivitis).
To characterize the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of brimonidine tartrate 0.025%/ketotifen fumarate 0.035% combination ophthalmic solution following a single dose and 22-day twice daily (BID) topical ocular dosing in a subset of healthy adult subjects.

Exclusion Criteria:
5 days
artificial tear products, eye whiteners (e.g., vasoconstrictors), ocular decongestants, ocular , ocular antihistamines, and any other topical ophthalmic agents;

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.
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.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
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.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
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.
