Mydriasis
Conditions
Brief summary
This study evaluated pupil dilation after administration of fixed combination tropicamide-phenylephrine (TR/PH) vs. placebo. Participants attended 3 visits. At each visit, after baseline measurements, either the study drug or placebo was administered to both eyes, then pupil dilation and safety assessments were performed at specific time intervals.
Detailed description
Volunteer participants were screened for study eligibility during a Screening Visit and enrolled after signing the study-specific informed consent form. Subjects meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria were scheduled for 3 treatment visits, which were at least 2 days, but no more than 7 days apart. At each treatment visit, baseline measurements were taken, then either the study drug or placebo was administered to both eyes. Afterwards, efficacy and safety assessments were performed at 20, 35, 50, 65, 80, 120, and 180 minutes. Participants' treatment assignments for each treatment visit were equally randomized using 1 of 2 sequences - ABB or BAA, where A was the study drug and B was the placebo.
Interventions
Tropicamide 1%/phenylephrine 2.5% ophthalmic solution administered with the Optejet microdose dispenser
Eyewash administered with the Optejet microdose dispenser

Study design
Masking description
There were no differences in the presentation of study treatment administered and all study personnel conducting ophthalmic assessments after study treatment administration were masked to treatment assignment.
Intervention model description
This trial was a double-masked, placebo-controlled, cross-over superiority study evaluating the efficacy of the fixed combination drug vs. placebo. All participants in the trial were to receive each treatment.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Pupil Diameter From Baseline | 35 minutes after initial dose | Difference in 35-minute pupil diameter vs. baseline measured using pupillometry in highly photopic conditions. Pupil diameter is reported in millimeters. For the change in pupil diameter, larger measurements indicate a better outcome. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of Eyes Achieving Pupil Diameter 6.0 mm or Larger After Receipt of Each Medication | 35 minutes after initial dose | The percent of eyes with pupil diameter 6.0 mm or larger as measured using pupillometry in highly photopic conditions. As this is a cross-over study, each of the 69 participants received each medication. Data is reported separately for the right and left eyes of the 69 participants. A higher percentage indicates a better outcome. |
| Proportion of Eyes Achieving Pupil Diameter 7.0 mm or Larger After Receipt of Each Medication | 35 minutes after initial dose | The percent of eyes with pupil diameter 7.0 mm or larger as measured using pupillometry in highly photopic conditions. As this is a cross-over study, each of the 69 participants received each solution. Data is reported separately for the right and left eyes of the 69 participants. A higher percentage indicates a better outcome. |

Participant flow
Recruitment details
76 patients signed the study informed consent form and were screened for eligibility between November 19, 2018 and December 14, 2018 at clinical research centers located in San Antonio and Austin, Texas.
Pre-assignment details
70 of the 76 participants enrolled initiated study treatment. Of those who did not initiate treatment, 4 failed to meet all study eligibility criteria and 2 were exited after screening (before treatment) because the required number of subjects had initiated treatment.
