Trial Outcomes & Findings for Treatment of Bacterial Conjunctivitis With SHP640 Compared to PVP-Iodine and Placebo (NCT NCT03004924)

NCT ID: NCT03004924

Last Updated: 2021-06-09

Results Overview

Clinical resolution was defined as absence (score=0) of bulbar conjunctival injection and ocular conjunctival discharge in the study eye. Bulbar conjunctival injection was assessed based on 0 (Normal conjunctival vascular pattern) - 4 (Markedly prominent, intense diffuse hyperemia) scale which used pictures from validated bulbar redness (VBR) scale. Ocular conjunctival discharge was assessed based on 0 (No evidence of discharge in conjunctiva) - 3 (Abundant quantity of mucopurulent or purulent discharge) scale. The study eye was defined as an eye with score of at least 1 for both ocular conjunctival discharge and bulbar conjunctival redness at baseline. Data analysis was performed in SHP640 and placebo reporting groups only but not in PVP-I 0.6%.

Participant Flow

Study was conducted at 121 centers in 14 countries between 29 Mar 2017 (first participant first visit) and 01 Oct 2018 (last participant last visit).

A total of 1080 participants were screened, of them 753 enrolled and randomized to treatment. One participant was randomized in error and therefore captured only in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 5

Population: Modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population included participants who received at least one dose of investigational product (IP) and had a positive bacterial culture (presence of one or more bacterial species at or above pathological threshold) at baseline in the study. Analysis was done in SHP640 and placebo reporting groups only.

Clinical resolution was defined as absence (score=0) of bulbar conjunctival injection and ocular conjunctival discharge in the study eye. Bulbar conjunctival injection was assessed based on 0 (Normal conjunctival vascular pattern) - 4 (Markedly prominent, intense diffuse hyperemia) scale which used pictures from validated bulbar redness (VBR) scale. Ocular conjunctival discharge was assessed based on 0 (No evidence of discharge in conjunctiva) - 3 (Abundant quantity of mucopurulent or purulent discharge) scale. The study eye was defined as an eye with score of at least 1 for both ocular conjunctival discharge and bulbar conjunctival redness at baseline.

Population: mITT population included participants who received at least one dose of IP and had a positive bacterial culture (presence of one or more bacterial species at or above pathological threshold) at baseline in the study. Here, the number of participants analyzed refer to the participants evaluable for this outcome at specified time point.

Bacterial eradication was defined as absence of all bacterial species present at or above pathological threshold at baseline in the study eye. Bacterial species were identified by Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry, using their unique protein patterns. Pathological threshold for individual bacterial species was based on colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL threshold levels established by Cagle and modified by Leibowitz for different ocular bacterial species found in the specimens collected from each participant. Data analysis was performed in SHP640 and placebo reporting groups only but not in PVP-I 0.6%.

Timeframe: Day 3, 5, 8 and 12

Population: mITT population included participants who received at least one dose of IP and had a positive bacterial culture (presence of one or more bacterial species at or above pathological threshold) at baseline in the study. Here, the number of participants analyzed refer to the participants evaluable for this outcome at specified time point.

Expanded clinical resolution was defined as a global clinical score of 0, 1, or 2 with neither injection nor discharge having a score of 2. Global clinical score was defined as the sum of bulbar conjunctival injection and ocular conjunctival discharge scores. Bulbar conjunctival injection was assessed based on 0 (Normal conjunctival vascular pattern) - 4 (Markedly prominent, intense diffuse hyperemia) scale which used pictures from VBR scale. Ocular conjunctival discharge was assessed based on 0 (No evidence of discharge in conjunctiva) - 3 (Abundant quantity of mucopurulent or purulent discharge) scale.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Day 12

Population: mITT population included participants who received at least one dose of IP and had a positive bacterial culture (presence of one or more bacterial species at or above pathological threshold) at baseline in the study.

Clinical resolution was defined as absence (score of 0) of bulbar conjunctival injection and ocular conjunctival discharge in the study eye. Bulbar conjunctival injection was assessed based on 0 (Normal conjunctival vascular pattern) - 4 (Markedly prominent, intense diffuse hyperemia) scale which used pictures from VBR scale. Ocular conjunctival discharge was assessed based on 0 (No evidence of discharge in conjunctiva) - 3 (Abundant quantity of mucopurulent or purulent discharge) scale. Time to clinical resolution defined as the date on which a participant first reached clinical resolution minus the date of first dose of investigational product, plus 1.

Here, the number of participants analyzed refer to the participants evaluable for this outcome at specified time point.

Rescue treatment with a licensed antibiotic according to the local standard of care was provided to participants if, in the judgment of the investigator, there was no clinical improvement or worsening of their condition to an extent that it would be in the best interest of the participant treated with an alternate therapy for safety reasons.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From start of study drug administration up to 14 days

Population: Safety population included all participants who received at least one dose of investigational product.

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Any AE that occured after the first dose of investigational product instillation was considered a TEAE.
