Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Moxifloxacin AF Ophthalmic Solution 0.5% compared to Moxifloxacin AF Vehicle in the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis in patients one month of age or older.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Prior to the start of the study, the study protocol, the informed consent and assent documents, patient instruction sheets, the Investigator’s Brochure, as well as any advertising materials used to recruit patients were submitted to institutional review boards (IRBs) and independent ethics committees (IECs). The IRB/IECs reviewed all documents and approved required documents; copies of the approval letters were provided to Alcon. Consistent with both the IRB/IEC’s requirements and all applicable regulations, the Investigators periodically provided study updates to the IRB/IEC. A patient or parent/legal guardian (if necessary, a legally authorized representative) provided informed consent, and children signed an approved assent form when appropriate. This study was conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    		 Clinical cure rate at the Day 7 Exit/Test-of-cure (TOC) Visit
    End point description
    Clinical cure was attained when the sum of the two cardinal ocular signs of bacterial infections (bulbar conjunctival injection and conjunctival discharge/exudate) was zero (ie, normal or absent). Only one eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis. This analysis population includes all subjects who received drug, had at least one on-therapy visit, met pre-randomization inclusion and exclusion criteria and were pathogen positive for bacteria on Day 1 (Modified Intent-to-Treat (MITT) Analysis Set).
