What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical Cure Rate

    Ocular signs of bacterial conjunctivitis (bulbar conjunctival injection and conjunctival discharge/exudates) were rated by the investigator on a 4-point scale, with 0=normal/absent; 1=mild; 2=moderate, and 3=severe. Clinical cure rate is presented as the percentage of participants for which the sum of the numerical scores for the 2 cardinal ocular signs of bacterial conjunctivitis was 0 at Day 9 TOC/Exit Visit.

    Measured: Day 9

  2. Microbiological Success Rate

    Microbiological specimen(s) from the affected eye(s) were collected according to a protocol-defined process. Microbiological success rate is presented as the percentage of participants for which the pre-therapy pathogens at Visit 1 (Day 1) were eradicated at Day 9 TOC/Exit Visit.

    Measured: Day 9

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution, 0.5% and Ofloxacin ophthalmic solution, 0.3% in people with Bacterial Conjunctivitis, run by Alcon Research at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 May 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical Cure Rate (time frame: Day 9). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 May 2015.
