Phase I clinical trial, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the ophthalmic solution PRO-174 versus Sophixín Ofteno®, elaborated by Laboratorios Sophia, S.A. of C.V. on the ocular surface of ophthalmologically and clinically healthy subjects.
Goals:
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the formulation PRO-174 manufactured by Laboratorios Sophia, S.A. of C.V. on the ocular surface of clinically healthy subjects.
Hypothesis:
The ophthalmic solution PRO-174 presents a safety and tolerability profile similar to the comparator in healthy subjects.

Phase I clinical trial, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the ophthalmic solution PRO-174 versus Sophixín Ofteno®, elaborated by Laboratorios Sophia, S.A. of C.V. on the ocular surface of ophthalmologically and clinically healthy subjects.
Goals:
Methodology:
Phase I clinical trial, controlled, of parallel groups, double blind, randomized, exploratory.
Number of patients:
30 subjects, divided into 2 groups [15 subjects (30 eyes) exposed per group]
Test product, dose and route of administration, lot number:
- PRO-174. Levofloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution. Prepared by Laboratorios Sophia, S.A. of C.V., Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico.
- Dosage: 1 drop every 2 hours during the waking period (8 daily applications), on day 1 and 2; continuing with 1 drop every 4 hours during the waking period (4 daily applications) from day 3 to 7. Both eyes.
- Route of administration: ophthalmic
Duration of treatment: 7 days
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 through the Mann-Whitney U test for the quantitative variables for the difference between the groups. The intra-group difference will be made with the Wilcoxon rank test. The difference between the qualitative variables will be analyzed by means of X2 (Chi2). An alpha ≤ 0.05 will be considered significant.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 30 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Phase I clinical trial, controlled, of parallel groups, double blind, randomized, exploratory. |
Masking: | Triple (Participant, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | The blinding will correspond to the research subject and the principal investigator. In addition, the statistical analysis will be carried out in a blinded manner for the partial and final analysis. The masking will be done using boxes in the primary packaging identical in the two groups. Blinding for the research subject and the researcher will be done by replacing the commercial labels in the case of the comparator in the bottles and the use of identical labels that contain the allocation number. Blinding may be opened in the following cases:

- Number of Adverse Events (EAS) [ Time Frame: during the 12 days of evaluation, including the safety call (day 12). ]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.
- Ocular Burning (OB) [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 7) ]
primary tolerability variable
Ocular burning is a nominal variable that will be evaluated by direct questioning to the research subject, then it will be staged according to the following scale:
Severity: Absent, very mild, mild, moderate and severe, where the normality of severity is absent.
- Intraocular Pressure (IOP) [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 7) ]the intraocular pressure will be evaluated by means of the Goldman applanation tonometry whose unit of measurement is millimeters of mercury (mmHg), it is a continuous variable and its normality range is between 11 - 21 mmHg
- Breakup Time (BUT) [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 7) ]breakup time lacrimal film is a continuous variable that will be measured in seconds, evaluating the time it takes to break it, is done by direct counting and the normality range and mayor to 10 seconds.
- Number of Eyes With Epithelial Defects (ED) by Grade [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 7) ]The epithelial defects will be evaluated by means of two stains, green lysine 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.
- Percentage of Eyes With Conjunctival Hyperemia (CH) by Grade [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 7) ]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.
- Number of Eyes With Foreign Body Sensation (FBS) by Grade [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 7) ]
Foreign body sensation is a nominal variable that will be evaluated by direct questioning to the research subject, then it will be staged according to the following scale:
Severity: Absent, very mild, mild, moderate and severe, where the normality of severity is absent.
- Number of Eyes With Ocular Pruritus (P) by Grade [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 7) ]
Ocular pruritus is a nominal variable that will be evaluated by direct questioning to the research subject, then it will be staged according to the following scale:
Severity: Absent, very mild, mild, moderate and severe, where the normality of severity is absent.
- Number of Eyes of Chemosis [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 7) ]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.
- Visual Capacity [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 7) ]
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 higher scores indicate worse visual acuity.
Snellen Scale: 20/200, 20/100, 20/70, 20/50, 20/40, 20/30, 20/25, 20/20, 20/15, 20/12, 20/10
only the denominator of the fraction of each case is reported and averaged per group.
