Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 37 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2024-01-30

Brief Summary

This is a phase I clinical study evaluating the safety and tolerability of PRO-231 ophthalmic solution through the incidence of unexpected adverse events, incidence of conjunctival hyperemia and chemosis, changes in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA), changes in ocular surface integrity, compared to VIGAMOXI®.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase I, controlled, comparative, parallel-group, single-blind, single-center, controlled clinical trial. The variables to be evaluated include:

Primary (safety):

• Incidence of unexpected adverse events related to the interventions
• Incidence of conjunctival hyperemia and chemosis
• Changes in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) assessed with Snellen chart
• Changes in ocular surface integrity using fluorescein staining, using the standard Oxford scale.

Primary (tolerability):

• Changes in the ocular comfort index (OCI) score

Secondary (safety):

• Incidence of unexpected adverse events related to the interventions(excluding conjunctival hyperemia and/or chemosis).

Secondary (tolerability):

• Presence of other ocular symptoms (burning, foreign body sensation, pruritus and lacrimation).

Conditions

Ophthalmological Agent Toxicity; Bacterial Conjunctivitis

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL

• Having participated in any clinical research study 30 days prior to inclusion in this study.
• Having previously participated in this same study.
• History of any chronic-degenerative disease, including Diabetes Mellitus or Systemic Arterial Hypertension.
• Diagnosis of glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
• Known diagnosis of liver or heart disease.

Elimination Criteria

• Withdrawal of their consent to participate in the study (informed consent form).
• Occurrence of a serious adverse event, whether related or not to the interventions, that in the opinion of the principal investigator (PI) and/or the sponsor, could affect the patient's fitness to safely continue with the study procedures.
