Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of the study is to evaluate the application of Besivance™ (besifloxacin ophthalmic suspension, 0.6%) to treat congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in children. The hypothesis of the study is that Besivance™ is as safe and effective as the current standard of care for the treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction in children.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Besivance™ as an antibiotic treatment for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction with infection in children. The primary outcome measure is the change from baseline on the physician rated scale of Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction (NLDO)with infection to follow-up visit #2 (Week 8) or at the time of treatment failure, if earlier.
