Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The study evaluate the efficacy, safety and local tolerability of Chloroprocaine 3% ophthalmic gel as compared to matching placebo in healthy subjects.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Ocular gel
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

One hundred and five (105) healthy male and female subjects will be randomised in a 4:1 ratio to receive a single ocular instillation of Chloroprocaine 3% ophthalmic gel or matching placebo (vehicle) (84 subjects will receive chloroprocaine and 21 subjects will receive placebo). The assigned investigational product (3 drops) will be instilled in the right eye of each subject. Administrations will be performed at the clinical centre by the Investigator or his deputy on study day 1. For each administration, the 3 drops will be instilled at a 1 min ± 15 sec interval.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants Gaining Full Conjunctival Anesthesia of the Ocular Surface [Day 1]

      Number of partecipants gaining full conjunctival anesthesia of the ocular surface, evaluated by conjunctiva pinching (0.3-mm forceps), 5 minutes after administration of Chloroprocaine 3% ophthalmic gel, in comparison to placebo - only study eye (right eye)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to Anesthesia, Evaluated by Conjunctiva Pinching (0.3-mm Forceps) - Only Study Eye (Right Eye) [Day 1]

      Time to anesthesia, evaluated by conjunctiva pinching (0.3-mm forceps) - only study eye (right eye)

    2. Duration of Anesthesia - Only Right Eye [Day 1]

      Duration of anesthesia, evaluated by conjunctiva pinching (0.3-mm forceps) - only study eye (right eye)

    3. Visual Acuity (EDTRS Chart) - Both Eyes [Up to day 7]

      Visual acuity will be assessed, for all subjects and both eyes using an EDTRS chart (visual acuity is scored with reference to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, an observer who can resolve details as small as 1 minute of visual angle scores LogMAR 0, since the base-10 logarithm of 1 is 0; an observer who can resolve details as small as 2 minutes of visual angle (i.e., reduced acuity) scores LogMAR 0.3, since the base-10 logarithm of 2 is near-approximately 0.3; and so on)

    4. Ocular Symptoms [Up to day 7]

      The ocular symptoms will be assessed: burning, stinging, itching, foreign body sensation. Scores will be determined using a 100 mm VAS where 0 means "no symptoms" and 100 means "worst possible discomfort".

    5. Ocular Signs by Slit Lamp Examination [Up to day 7]

      Slit lamp biomicroscopy will be performed for the assessment of the following parameters: conjunctival redness, anterior chamber flare, conjunctival chemosis, eyelid swelling. Presence and severity will be graded according to a 4 point scale, where (0) none, (1) mild, (2) moderate, (3) severe.

    6. Corneal Fluorescein Staining by Slit Lamp Examination - Both Eyes [Up to day 7]

      Fluorescein will be used to detect corneal epithelial defects using slit lamp biomicroscopy. As grading scale for corneal damage, the NEI/Industry Workshop guidelines will be used. The cornea will be divided into five sectors (central, superior, inferior, nasal and temporal), each of which is scored on a scale of 0-3, where 0 means no staining and 3 means maximum staining, with a maximal score of 15.

    7. Intraocular Pressure (IOP) - Both Eyes [Up to day 7]

      Intraocular pressure will be measured with a slit-lamp mounted Goldmann applanation tonometer. Before each measurement one drop of oxybuprocaine hydrochloride combined with sodium fluorescein will be used for local anaesthesia of the cornea.

    8. Fundus Ophthalmoscopy (Vitreous, Macula, Retina and Optic Nerve Head) With the Slit Lamp - Both Eyes [Up to day 7]

      Indirect fundus ophthalmoscopy will be performed, for all subjects and both eyes, with the observation at the slit lamp using a +90 diopters Volk lens.The evaluation is performed with a grading scale: 0 None, 1 Mild, 2 Moderate, 3 Severe for each parameters evaluated.

    9. Vital Signs (Blood Pressure) [Up to day 7]

      Subjects blood pressure will be measured by the Investigator or his/her deputy

    10. Vital Signs (Heart Rate) [Up to day 7]

      Subjects heart rate will be measured by the Investigator or his/her deputy
