Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the viral and clinical response reached by an antiviral drug (ganciclovir 0.15%) and an ocular hydrating agent (0.9%) in patients with acute adenoviral conjunctivitis.;Secondary Objective: -To know the incidence of acute adenoviral conjunctivitis in the investigational site -To identify the most frequent adenovitral strains foun in the investigational site -To evaluate the most suggesting symptoms associated to adenoviral conjunctivitis -To evaluate the safety of the two treatments used during the trial;Primary end point(s): 1. Analysis of viral load from conjunctival samples of the patients. 2. Analysis of the symptomatology described by the patient in agreement with listed symptoms specified in the protocol (foreing body sensation, photophobia, tearing, burning/itching). 3. Analysis of clinical signs showed during ophthalmic examination (edema, injection, secretion, corneal staining, pseudomembranes).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 D0 (basal value) and D2, D4 and D7 2. D0 (basal value) and D4, D7, D21 and D90 3. D0 (basal value) and D2, D4, and D7 (edema, injection, secretion, corneal staining, pseudomembranes). D0 (basal value) and D21 and D90 (edema and pseudomembranes)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): -Analysis of visual acuity score by best corrected visual acuity parameter (BCVA) -Analysis and identification of local/systemic, simple/serious adverse reactions.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: -D0 (basal value) and D21, D90. -During the whole study time.
