Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: • Assess the time to viral eradication in EKC infected eyes following treatment with APD 209 Eye drops compared to placebo. • Evaluate the effect of APD 209 Eye drops on clinical resolution of EKC, as measured by objective and subjective assessment of scaled clinical symptoms, compared to placebo. • Evaluate the presence of opacities (quantitatively and qualitatively) following treatment with APD 209 Eye drops compared to placebo. • Assess the visual acuity following treatment with APD 209 Eye drops compared to placebo. • Assess the frequency of second eye infections. • Assess the safety and tolerability of APD 209 Eye drops.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Following LSLV;Main Objective: To assess the adenoviral load in epidemic keratokonjunctivitis (EKC) infected eyes following topical treatment with APD-209 Eye drops given 8 times daily for 14 days compared to placebo.;Primary end point(s): Virological success as measured by a reduction of viral load in tear liquid from EKC infected eyes, as measured by the area under the curve (AUC) at 3-14 days from start of treatment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Virological success as measured by a reduction of viral load in tear liquid from EKC infected eyes, as measured by the AUC at 0-14 days from start of treatment. • To determine the time point of viral eradication in tear liquid from EKC infected eyes, defined as the time point when viral load=0 or below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ). • To assess resolution of acute ocular symptoms at each time of assessment, as measured by objective (Investigator-based) assessment of conjunctival discharge and redness. • To assess resolution of ocular symptoms at each time of assessment, as measured by subjective (Patient Worksheet) assessment of irritation, foreign body sensation, tearing, pain and blurred vision. • To assess presence and location of opacities at each time of assessment, as measured by slit lamp examination. • To assess visual acuity at each time of assessment by use of the logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (LogMAR) chart. • To assess occurrence of second eye infection. Safety of APD-209 by recording of • Adverse events (AEs) (nature and incidence) • Physical examination • Vital signs • Laboratory safety assessments (haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Following LSLV | — |
