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.

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.

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.
