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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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.

    D.8 Information on Placebo
    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    healthy volunteers
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    healthy volunteers
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Body processes [G] - Microbiological Phenomena [G06]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To investigate the effect of 1 week treatment with two different antibiotic eye drops on the nasal microbiome in healthy subjects.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To investigate the effect of 1 week treatment with two different antibiotic eye drops on:
    • Antibiotic resistance gene prevalence and MICs for the used antibiotics
    • Tear film thickness
    • Tear Osmolarity
    • Fluorescein and lissamine green staining
    • Tear Break Up Time
    • Schirmer I test
    • Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Since both formulations of topical antibiotics contain benzalkonium chloride which also has a potential effect on the nasal mucosal flora, it is unknown how much benzalkonium chloride would contribute to changes in the nasal microbiome after administration of topical antibiotics. To overcome this problem, first a pilot study in 20 subjects will be performed in which subjects will be randomized to receive either eye drops containing gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, preservative-containing topical lubricants or preservative-free topical lubricants. Based on the results of this pilot study, the control for the main part of the study will be chosen, depending on the effect on the bacterial microbiome. The results of the pilot study could also provide useful data to adjust the sample size for the main study part.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Men and women aged between 18 and 45 years
    • Normal ophthalmic findings
    • Tear Break Up Time >10 seconds
    • Schirmer I Test > 10mm/5min
    • Ametropia ≤ 6 diopters
    • No use of topical eye or nasal drops in the last 3 months
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • Regular use of medication, abuse of alcoholic beverages or drugs
    • Participation in a clinical trial in the 3 weeks preceding the study
    • Treatment in the previous 3 weeks with any drug (except intake of hormonal contraceptives)
    • Treatment with topical or systemic antibiotics within 8 weeks before inclusion
    • Symptoms of a clinically relevant illness in the 3 weeks before the first study day
    • History or presence of gastrointestinal, liver or kidney disease, or other conditions known to interfere with distribution, metabolism or excretion of study drugs
    • Known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the IMP under investigation or other study medication
    • Pregnant or breast-feeding women
    • Women of childbearing potential (neither menopausal, nor hysterectomized, nor sterilized) not using effective contraception (i.e. oral contraceptives, intra-uterine device, contraceptive implant or condoms)
