About this study

This study is a prospective, randomized, open-label, two arms, clinical study aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with Hyper-CL™ lens + Antibiotics compared with treatment with Antibiotics only, in subjects with Bacterial keratitis.

The design of the Hyper-CL™ lens increases contact time of the antibiotics on the cornea enabling increased bioavailability of the active drug.

Read the detailed description

The Hyper-CL™ Therapeutic soft contact lenses for short-term wear (up to 7 days) are indicated for therapeutic use to promote corneal healing and relieve corneal pain by protecting the cornea during the treatment of acute or chronic pathologies, such as corneal edema, corneal erosions, entropion, bullous keratopathy, and corneal dystrophies as well as post-surgical conditions resulting from cataract extraction and corneal surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Bacterial Keratitis severity score

    Will be measured by Bacterial keratitis severity score (0-5). A low score is considered an improvement, a high score is considered worsening.

    Measured: From date of randomization up to 14 days

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change in Bacterial Keratitis severity score (time frame: From date of randomization up to 14 days). 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.
