Study to Assess the Influence of Three Different α-antagonists and Placebo on the Extent of Weekly Phenylephrine-induced Mydriasis at Three Different Concentrations of Phenylephrine in Healthy Male Volunteers
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study was aimed to evaluate the pharmacological effect of different α-antagonists on phenylephrine induced pupil size in healthy male volunteers as pharmacological basis for Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Sum of changes from baseline in the mean pupil diameters [Baseline, 60 and 80 min after administration of phenylephrine (PE)]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change from baseline in mean diameter of both pupils [Baseline, 60 and 80 min after administration of phenylephrine (PE)]
- Change from baseline in mean diameter of both pupils [one week after cessation of drug]
- Concentration of the analyte in plasma [Up to 29 days after first administration of α-antagonists]
- Number of participants with clinically significant changes in vital signs [Up to 8 days after last pupillometry]
- Number of participants with abnormal changes in clinical laboratory parameters [Up to 8 days after last pupillometry]
- Number of participants with Adverse Events [Up to 8 days after last pupillometry]
- Assessement of global tolerability by investigator on a 4 point scale [8 days after last pupillometry]
