E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Efficay: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of combined levofloxacin + dexamethasone eye drops for 7 days followed by dexamethasone eye drops alone for an additional 7 days vs. standard treatment tobramycin + dexamethasone eye drops for 14 days in the prevention and treatment of postoperative ocular inflammation and prevention of infection. |
Efficacia: dimostrare la non inferiorità della combinazione di levofloxacina + desametasone in gocce oculari per 7 giorni seguito da solo desametasone in gocce oculari per altri 7 giorni rispetto al trattamento standard con tobramicina + desametasone in gocce oculari per 14 giorni nella prevenzione e nel trattamento dell’infiammazione oculare post-chirurgica e nella prevenzione dell’infezione. |
