Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, double-masked study to evaluate the tolerability and safety of IRX-101 versus 5% povidone-iodine (PI) in subjects receiving intravitreal anti-VEGF injections.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Anticipated Enrollment :
240 participants
Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention Model:
Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
Subjects will be randomized to IRX-101 or Providone-IodineSubjects will be randomized to IRX-101 or Providone-Iodine
Masking:

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: IRX-101

Subjects randomized to IRX-101 will receive the investigational product, IRX-101.

Drug: IRX-101
IRX-101 is a novel ocular anti-septic

Active Comparator: 5% Povidone-iodine

Subjects randomized to this arm will receive the standard of care, Providone-iodine, at a concentration of 5%.

Drug: Providone-Iodine
5% Providone-Iodine

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Assessment of post-intravitreal injection eye pain [Demonstrate a reduction in mean 1-hr post-injection pain scores]

    Demonstrate the superiority of IRX-101 compared to PI in terms of reducing patient-reported post-intravitreal injection eye pain; pain will be assessed using the visual analog pain scale, a validated patient-reported outcome measure (questionnaire) for assessing patient's subjective pain and discomfort

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in post-IVT corneal epitheliopathy as evaluated by corneal fluorescein staining scores [Immediately following intraviteral injection]

    Demonstrate the superiority of IRX-101 compared to PI in terms of reducing corneal epitheliopathy / corneal fluorescein staining post-intravitreal injection; corneal staining will be obtained using validated Oxford Corneal Staining scale of 0 (no staining) to 5 (maximal corneal staining)
