About this study

Official title: Phase I Clinical Study, to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of the Ophthalmic Solution PRO-179 Compared With Travatan®, on the Ocular Surface of Clinically Healthy Subjects.

Phase I clinical study, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the ophthalmic solution PRO-179 compared with Travatan®, on the ocular surface of clinically healthy subjects.

Goals: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the formulation PRO-179 manufactured by Sophia Laboratories S.A. of C.V. on the ocular surface of clinically healthy subjects.

Hypothesis:The ophthalmic solution PRO-179 presents a profile of safety and tolerability similar to Travatan® in healthy subjects.

Methodology: Clinical trial Phase I, controlled, of parallel groups, double blind, with randomization.

Read the detailed description

Number of patients: n= 24, 12 subjects per group (both eyes). Main inclusion criteria: Clinically healthy subjects.

duration: 10 days.

Duration of subject in the study: 15 to 22 days.

Adverse events will be reported and cataloged based on the MedDRA dictionary and will be reported to the corresponding regulatory entity.

The sponsor will carry out monitoring or quality visits to the research sites where it corroborates the information of the source documents and will contrast them with the information presented in the electronic CRF. Electronic case report forms will be evaluated by the clinical research associate and the clinical team of the sponsor (medical ophthalmologist researcher and pharmacologist of clinical safety).

Statistical methodology:

The data will be expressed with measures of central tendency: mean and standard deviation for the quantitative variables. The qualitative variables will be presented in frequencies and percentages. The statistical analysis will be carried out by means of the Mann-Whitney U test for the quantitative variables for the difference between the groups. The difference between the qualitative variables will be analyzed by means of X2 (Chi2) or Fisher's exact. An alpha ≤ 0.05 will be considered significant.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    primary security variable the adverse events will be evaluated with a scale of Present / Absent, it is a nominal variable, the normal value is absent. it will be evaluated by the number of reported cases per group.

    Measured: during the 14 days of evaluation, including the safety call (day 14).

  2. Eye Comfort Index

    It is a questionnaire designed to measure the irritation of the ocular surface with Rasch analysis to produce estimates on a linear scale of intervals (ratings: 0-100).The Eye comfort index contains items that focus on the discomfort associated with alterations of the ocular surface.(0: None discomfort, 100: high discomfort).

    Measured: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment, at the final visit (day 11)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Eyes With Epithelial Defects by Grade

    The epithelial defects will be evaluated by means of two stains, lissamine green and fluorescein, it is a discrete variable that will be realized by direct observation, it will be staged according to the degrees of the oxford scale that go from 0 to 5 (0-V) according to its severity, where 0 is the normal lower limit and 5 the upper limit of defects.

    Measured: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment, at the final visit (day 11)

  2. Visual Ability

    The visual capacity variable will be reported using as a unit of measure a fraction, this is taken from a visual test with the Snellen primer, it is a Nominal type variable. where the optimal vision is 20/20 and the worst vision is 20/200, higher values represent a worst vision. The result of the Snellen chart has equivalents in an international logarithmic system called Logmar (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) for better understanding.

    Snellen Scale: 20/200, 20/100, 20/50, 20/40, 20/30, 20/25, 20/20, 20/15, 20/12, 20/10.

    Snellen / LogMAR equivalences: 20/200= 1.0, 20/100=0.7, 20/50=0.4, 20/40=0.3, 20/30=0.2, 20/25=0.1, 20/20=0.0, 20/15=0.13, 20/12=0.2, 20/10=-0.3, etc.

    Measured: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment, at the final visit (day 11)

  3. Percentage of Eyes With Conjunctival Hyperemia (CH) by Grade

    Conjunctival hyperemia will be evaluated as an ordinal variable, by direct observation and staged using the Efron scale as Normal / Very Light / Mild / Moderate / Severe. Based on this scale, the normal and mild stages are considered without pathologies or normal. Mild, moderate and severe are considered pathological.

    Measured: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment, at the final visit (day 11)

  4. Number of Eyes of Chemosis

    The chemosis will be evaluated, as a nominal variable, by direct observation and it will be staged as present and absent, where the normality is that said variable is absent.

    Measured: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment, at the final visit (day 11)

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PRO 179 and Travatan 0.004 % Ophthalmic Solution in people with Glaucoma, run by Laboratorios Sophia S.A de C.V. at 1 site in Mexico.

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 12 inclusion and 13 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 Dec 2019. 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 Mexico. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Dec 2019). 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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (time frame: during the 14 days of evaluation, including the safety call (day 14).). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03965052, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
