A Phase 1/2 interventional study of SUM-191 and Placebo in Bacterial Conjunctivitis, sponsored by Senju USA, Inc.. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-30.
Sponsored by Senju USA, Inc. · Phase 1/2, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a seamless Phase I/II, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial to evaluate single and multiple-dose safety and tolerability of SUM-191 in healthy participants in Parts 1 (SAD) and 2 (MAD) ; and multiple-dose efficacy and safety of SUM-191 in participants with bacterial conjunctivitis in Part 3.
40 studies on the registry are indexed under Conjunctivitis, Bacterial; 2 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 426 is above the median of 261 across 36 interventional studies indexed under Conjunctivitis, Bacterial.

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.
The participant is willing to discontinue wearing a contact lens for the duration of the trial.
Additional criteria for Parts 1 and 2:
The participant is considered by the investigator to be in good general health as determined by medical history, clinical laboratory test results, vital signs, 12-lead results, and physical examination findings at Screening and Day -1.
Additional criteria for Part 3:
Exclusion Criteria:
Male participant with a >450 ms or female participants with a QTcF >470 ms at Screening or on Day -1 safety in Parts 1 and 2.
Additional exclusion criteria for Part 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.
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.
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.
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.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
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.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

Incident of Adverse Events (AEs) (Part 1 and Part 2)
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related.
Time frame: Part 1: From Day 1 to Day 7 Part 2: From Day 1 to Day 14
Severity of Adverse Events (AEs) (Part 1 and Part 2)
The severity (or intensity) of an AE refers to the extent to which it affects the participant's daily activities and will be classified as mild, moderate, or severe using the following criteria: * Mild: These events require minimal or no treatment and do not interfere with the participant's daily activities. * Moderate: These events result in a low level of inconvenience or require minor therapeutic measures. Moderate events may cause some interference with normal functioning. * Severe: These events interrupt a participant's usual daily activity and may require systemic drug therapy or other treatment. Severe events are usually incapacitating.
