Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Mydriasis | Drug: Tropicamide 1%-Phenylephrine 2.5% ophthalmic solution (TR/PE) Drug: Tropicamide 1% ophthalmic solution (TR) Drug: Phenylephrine 2.5% ophthalmic solution (PE) | Phase 3 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 70 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Crossover Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | This trial was a double-masked, active-controlled, cross-over superiority study evaluating the efficacy of the fixed combination drug vs. the drug's 2 individual components. All participants in the trial were to receive each of the 3 drugs. |
Masking: | Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | There were no differences in the presentation of drug administered and all study personnel conducting ophthalmic assessments after drug administration were masked to treatment assignment. |
Primary Purpose: | Diagnostic |

- Change in Pupil Diameter From Baseline [ Time Frame: 35 minutes after initial dose ]
Difference in 35-minute pupil diameter vs. baseline measured using pupillometry in highly photopic conditions.
Pupil diameter is reported in millimeters. For the change in pupil diameter, larger measurements indicate a better outcome.
- Percentage of Eyes Achieving Pupil Diameter 6.0 mm or Larger After Receipt of Each Medication [ Time Frame: 35 minutes after initial dose ]The percent of eyes with pupil diameter 6.0 mm or larger as measured using pupillometry in highly photopic conditions. As this is a cross-over study, each of the 62 participants received each medication. Data is reported separately for the right and left eyes of the 62 participants. A higher percentage indicates a better outcome.
- Percentage of Eyes Achieving Pupil Diameter 7.0 mm or Larger After Receipt of Each Medication [ Time Frame: 35 minutes after initial dose ]The percent of eyes with pupil diameter 7.0 mm or larger as measured using pupillometry in highly photopic conditions. As this is a cross-over study, each of the 62 participants received each medication. Data is reported separately for the right and left eyes of the 62 participants. A higher percentage indicates a better outcome.
