Study Status: Terminated
Recruit Status: Terminated
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Topical Besifloxacin Ophthalmic Suspension, 0.6% Compared With Gatifloxacin, 0.3% Ophthalmic Solution for the Treatment of Presumed Bacterial Conjunctivitis in
Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Besivance (besifloxacin 0.6%) ophthalmic suspension compared to gatifloxacin 0.3% ophthalmic solution when administered three times daily (TID) for seven days to neonatal subjects who are 31 days or younger on the day of randomization (Visit 1).
Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Bausch & Lomb Incorporated
Current Primary Outcome: Clinical Resolution [ Time Frame: Visit 5 (Day 8+1) ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Clinical Resolution [ Time Frame: Visit 3 (Day 3) ]Clinical resolution defined as the absence of both conjunctival discharge and conjunctival hyperemia.
- Microbial Eradication [ Time Frame: Visit 5 (Day 8+1) ]Eradication defined as the absence of all accepted ocular bacterial species (as measured on the ordinal scale) that were present at or above threshold at baseline
- Microbial Outcome [ Time Frame: Visit 3 (Day 3) and Visit 5 (Day 8+1) ]
Microbial outcome for the following groups of accepted ocular bacterial species that were present at or above threshold at baseline:
- over all bacterial species
- over all and individual gram-positive bacterial species
- over all and individual gram-negative bacterial species
Original Secondary Outcome:
- Clinical Resolution [ Time Frame: Visit 3 (Day 3) ]Clinical resolution defined as the absence of both conjunctival discharge and conjunctival hyperemia.
- Microbial Eradication [ Time Frame: Visit 5 (Day 8+1) ]Eradication defined as the absence of all accepted ocular bacterial species (as measured on the ordinal scale) that were present at or above threshold at baseline
- Signs of Bacterial Conjunctivitis [ Time Frame: At each visit for 7 days ]Ocular discharge rated on a scale from 0(none), 1(mild), 2(moderate) to 3(severe) Conjunctiva hyperemia rated on a scale from 0(normal), 1(mild), 2(moderate) to 3(severe)
- Microbial Outcome [ Time Frame: Visit 3 (Day 3) and Visit 5 (Day 8+1) ]
Microbial outcome for the following groups of accepted ocular bacterial species that were present at or above threshold at baseline:
- over all bacterial species
- over all and individual gram-positive bacterial species
- over all and individual gram-negative bacterial species
