| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the clinical trial is to determine the difference in axial eye length (AXL) over a 12M application period with 0,02% atropine versus placebo.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives in relation to efficiency: • Difference of AXL over 12M administration period with 0,04% atropine versus placebo, with 0,02% atropine versus 0,04% atropine • Difference in AXL over 24M administration period with 0,02% and 0,04% atropine versus placebo and mutually • Rebound phenomenon in both active arms (0,02% and 0,04%) in period 24M-36M versus placebo and mutually • Cycloplaegic spherical equivalent refraction (SER) difference for 12M administration period (0,02%, 0,04% versus placebo and mutually) • Cyloplaegic SER difference for 24M administration period (0,02% and 0,04% versus placebo and mutually) • Difference AXL/CR index for 12M administration period (0,02% and 0,04% versus placebo and mutually) • Difference AXL/CR index for 24M administration period (0,02% and 0,04% versus placebo and mutually) • Visual functional characteristics (BCDVA-best corrected distance visual acuity;BCNVA-best corrected near visual acuity;contrast sensitivity;colour perception);Primary end point(s): The primary objective of the clinical trial is to determine the difference in axial eye length (AXL) over a 12M application period with 0,02% atropine versus placebo.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 M | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary objectives in relation to efficiency: • Difference of AXL over 12M administration period with 0,04% atropine versus placebo • Difference of AXL over 12M administration period with 0,02% atropine versus 0,04% • Difference in AXL over 24M administration period with 0,02% and 0,04% atropine versus placebo and mutually • Rebound phenomenon in both active arms (0,02% and 0,04%) in the period 24M - 36M against placebo and mutually • Cycloplaegic spherical equivalent refraction (SER) difference for 12M administration period (0,02% and 0,04% versus placebo and mutually) • Cyloplaegic SER difference for 24M administration period (0,02% and 0,04% versus placebo and mutually) • Difference AXL / CR index for 12M administration period (0,02% and 0,04% against placebo and mutually) • Difference of AXL / CR index for 24M administration period (0,02% and 0,04% against placebo and mutually) • Visual functional characteristics (BCDVA - best corrected distance visual acuity; BCNVA - best corrected near visual acuity; contrast sensitivity; colour perception) Secondary objectives related to the mechanism of origin and development of the disease: • Other growth characteristics of the eye (anterior segment biometry: corneal topography and keratometry, anterior chamber, lens thickness, horizontal anterior chamber dimension (WTW); choroidal thickness) • Functional characteristics of the eye (NPA - near-point of accommodation; NPC - near point of convergence; facility of accommodation)) • SE peripheral defocus • Influence of genetic predisposition (parental refractive error, body height and BMI) • Influence of lifestyle (living outside, close work including technologies) Secondary objectives related to safety and tolerability of treatment: • The intensity, severity and frequency of all side effects - Systemic (heart rate and other reported adverse events) - Ophthalmological TRAE - Subjects' visual comfort - Ret | — |
