TOBRADEX Ophthalmic Suspension Versus Tobramycin 0.3%/Dexamethasone 0.05% Ophthalmic Suspension

Overview

The purpose of this study is to describe the differences in efficacy between TOBRADEX Ophthalmic Suspension and Tobramycin 0.3%/Dexamethasone 0.05% Ophthalmic Suspension in the treatment of ocular inflammation and infection associated with blepharaconjunctivitis

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: February 2008

Interventions

  • Drug: Tobramycin 0.3%/Dexamethasone 0.05%
    • Tobramycin 0.3%/Dexamethasone 0.05% 1 drop in both eyes 4 times daily for at least 3 days
  • Drug: TOBRADEX
    • TOBRADEX 1 drop in both eyes 4 times daily for at least 3 days

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Tobramycin 0.3%/Dexamethasone 0.05%
    • Tobramycin 0.3%/Dexamethasone 0.05% 1 drop 4 times daily in both eyes
  • Active Comparator: TOBRADEX
    • TOBRADEX 1 drop 4 times daily in both eyes

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Percent of Patients Who Display Microbiological Success (Eradication of Baseline Pathogens at Day 4)
    • Time Frame: Day 4 – Test Of Cure (TOC) compared to Day 0
    • Microbiological success was declared if the pre-therapy pathogens were eradicated at the Exit Visit; conversely, microbiological failure was declared if pre-therapy pathogens persisted at the exit visit. The microbiological outcomes were calculated based on an algorithm that assessed whether pre-therapy pathogens were eradicated or persisted as demonstrated by comparative characterization of recovered bacteria.
