Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The qualified patients will be randomized on a 1:1 ratio into each treatment arm. Qualified eyes were further randomized into one of four subgroups, which specified the time between the last drop of study medication and the time of aqueous and vitreous humor sample collection (i.e., 1-, 2-, 4-, and 6-hour subgroups- about 32 patients per subgroup-: 16 Levofloxacin, 16 Moxifloxacin.
For 3 days prior to the day of the elective vitrectomy surgery, subjects will instill exactly one drop of study medication into their operative eye four times daily. On the day of surgery (visit 2, day 4), patients will receive their final drop of study medication administered by trained study personnel at the study site.
Samples of aqueous (0.1 ml), and vitreous (0.2 ml) humour were taken simultaneously from the same patient at the commencement of surgery by paracentesis using a 30-gauge needle on a tuberculin syringe. All samples will be stored at -80°C as soon as possible until the concentrations of the drug will be measured.
Measurements for moxifloxacin and levofloxacin concentrations in aqueous fluid will be determined using HPLC with UV detection, which is currently undergoing method development and validation at the Faculty of Pharmacy, UKM. Measurements for moxifloxacin and levofloxacin concentrations in vitreous fluid will be outsourced to a laboratory at the Centre for Research and Instrument Management (CRIM) in UKM, due to the high sensitivity required to determine the drugs' concentrations in vitreous fluid.
A compartmental analysis will be carried out using AUC0-6, Cmax, and time to Cmax (Tmax) will be determined by direct observation. The median AUC0-6 calculation will be performed using the linear trapezoid method. A Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be used to detect differences between the concentrations in each treatment arm at various time points. A p value of \<0.05 is considered statistically significant. Data management and statistical analysis will be performed using the PKNCA package in R and SPSS ver 23.0, whichever deemed suitable.
