Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This Phase II study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of three fluoroquinolone ophthalmic agents to determine the optimal treatment in patients with infectious corneal ulcers.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Besivance 0.6% Ophthalmic Suspension
  • Drug: Zymaxid 0.5% Ophthalmic Solution
  • Drug: Vigamox 0.5% Ophthalmic Solution
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, single masked, comparative, mono-therapeutic trial evaluating three fluoroquinolone agents that are approved and marketed for the treatment of conjunctivitis. Approximately 120 patients who have corneal ulcers greater than 2 mm but less than 6 mm in size who meet all other inclusion criteria will be enrolled into this study. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1:1 ratio to receive besifloxacin 0.6% ophthalmic suspension, gatifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution, or moxifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Besivance 0.6% Ophthalmic Suspension

A topical fluoroquinolone antimicrobial indicated for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis.

Drug: Besivance 0.6% Ophthalmic Suspension
Drop to be applied in affected eye initially every hour for the first 48 hours then doses will be reduced at each subsequent visit by 50% if patient continues to show a reduction in size of 25% from the previous visit up to every 4 hours. If subject dose has been reduced to every 4 hours at visit 3 and shows an additional reduction size of 25% at visit 4, then they will be reduced to every 6 hours.
Other Names:
  • Besifloxacin 0.6% Ophthalmic Suspension
  • Active Comparator: Zymaxid 0.5% Ophthalmic Solution

    A topical fluoroquinolone anti-infective indicated for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis.

    Drug: Zymaxid 0.5% Ophthalmic Solution
    Drop to be applied in affected eye initially every hour for the first 48 hours then doses will be reduced at each subsequent visit by 50% if patient continues to show a reduction in size of 25% from the previous visit up to every 4 hours. If subject dose has been reduced to every 4 hours at visit 3 and shows an additional reduction size of 25% at visit 4, then they will be reduced to every 6 hours.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Complete Healing [29 days]

      The primary outcome will be complete healing of the corneal ulcer, defined as complete reepithelialization by Day 29.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Healing Rate [29 days]

      Time to corneal ulcer reduction and/or total healing over a treatment course of 21 days.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Time to Treatment Failure. [8 days]

      If there is no reduction in size of the corneal ulcer by day 8, the treatment will be deemed a failure and alternative medications will be given at the discretion of the investigator.

    2. Scarring [29 days]

      Scarring will be evaluated and measured in millimeters at Day 29 and classified as either peripheral or central.

    3. Patient Satisfaction Scores [Average of 6 times in a 29 day period]

      Patient satisfaction outcomes will be assessed using a series of survey questions ranging in both categorical and continuous outcomes. Treatment will be compared using either methods for differences in binomial proportions or the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test. Scale= 0- Very Comfortable, 1- Comfortable, 2- Uncomfortable, 3- Very Uncomfortable

    4. Patient Pain Scores [Average of 6 times in a 29 day period]

      Patients will be asked to grade the overall pain of the affected eye at each visit on a Scale= 0--None, 1- Mild, 2- Moderate, 3- Severe

    5. Number of Participants With Treatment Failure [29 days]
