Mydriasis
Conditions
Brief summary
This study evaluated pupil dilation after administration of fixed combination tropicamide-phenylephrine (TR/PE) vs. phenylephrine (PE) alone and tropicamide (TR) alone. Participants attended 3 visits. At each visit, after baseline measurements, 1 of the 3 drugs 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 1 of the 3 study drugs was administered to both eyes (each participant's drug administration sequence was randomly determined). Afterwards, efficacy and safety assessments were performed at 20, 35, 50, 65, 80, 120, and 180 minutes.
Interventions
Fixed combination tropicamide 1%-phenylephrine 2.5% ophthalmic solution administered with the Optejet microdose dispenser
Tropicamide 1% ophthalmic solution administered with the Optejet microdose dispenser
Phenylephrine 2.5% ophthalmic solution administered with the Optejet microdose dispenser

Study design
Masking description
There were no differences in the presentation of drug administered and all study personnel conducting ophthalmic assessments after drug administration were masked to treatment assignment.
Intervention model description
This trial was a double-masked, active-controlled, cross-over superiority study evaluating the efficacy of the fixed combination drug vs. the drug's 2 individual components. All participants in the trial were to receive each of the 3 drugs.

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. |

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage 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 62 participants received each medication. Data is reported separately for the right and left eyes of the 62 participants. A higher percentage indicates a better outcome. |

Participant flow
Recruitment details
70 patients signed the study informed consent form and were screened for eligibility between October 31, 2018 and November 16, 2018 at a clinical research center located in Cypress, California.
Pre-assignment details
64 of the 70 participants enrolled initiated treatment. Of those who did not initiate treatment, 4 failed to meet all study eligibility criteria, 1 was exited during screening due to behavioral issues, and 1 was exited after screening (before treatment) because the investigator believed the required number of subjects had initiated treatment.
