Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 24 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:

  1. Presence of a serious adverse event.
  2. Safety alarm due to the use of the drugs under study.
  3. In case the sponsor determines it for any reason of security or other reason that considers pertinent.
Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Goblet Cell Density (GCD) [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 11) ]
    the cells will be measured per square millimeter, it is a continuous variable taken by means of cytology per impression, the normal value is higher than 500 cells per square millimeter


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Presence of Adverse Events (EAS) [ Time Frame: during the 11 days of evaluation, including the safety call (day 13). ]
    the adverse events will be evaluated with a scale of Present / Absent, it is a nominal variable, the normal value is absent.

  2. Intraocular Pressure (IOP) [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 11) ]
    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

  3. Breakup Time (BUT) [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 11) ]
    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 greater than 10 seconds.

  4. Chemosis [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 11) ]
    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.

  5. Ocular Burning (OB) [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 11) ]
    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.Frequency: At all times, almost at all times, 50% of the time, almost in no time, at any time. where the normality of the frequency is in no time.

  6. Epithelial Defects (ED) [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 11) ]
    The epithelial defects will be evaluated by means of two stains, green lissamine, 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.

  7. Conjunctival Hyperemia (CH) [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 11) ]
    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.

  8. Foreign Body Sensation (FBS) [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 11) ]

    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.

    Frequency: At all times, almost at all times, 50% of the time, almost in no time, at any time. where the normality of the frequency is in no time.


  9. Ocular Pruritus (P) [ Time Frame: will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 11) ]

    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.

    Frequency: At all times, almost at all times, 50% of the time, almost in no time, at any time. where the normality of the frequency is in no time.
