Treatment and study plan

Atropine Sulfate

Drug

Administration of one drop QD on both eyes for 14 days.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Unexpected Adverse Events

    Time frame: Through Day 21 ± 1 (Safety Call)

    The number of adverse events presented that are not previously described / known for the active substance in this pharmaceutic form and concentration.

  2. Number of Patients With Photophobia

    Time frame: Days: 1 (Basal Visit), 7 ± 1 (Visit 1), 16 ± 1 (Final Visit)

    The number of cases of photophobia.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pupillary Diameter

    Time frame: Days: 1 (Basal Visit), 7 ± 1 (Visit 1), 16 ± 1 (Final Visit)

    Measurement of pupillary diameter after exposure to the investigation product.

  2. Percentage of Expected Adverse Events

    Time frame: Days: 1 (Basal Visit), 7 ± 1 (Visit 1), 16 ± 1 (Final Visit), 21 ± 1 (Safety Call)

    The percentage of adverse events presented that are expected, or previously described / known for the active substance in this pharmaceutic form and concentration.

  3. Measurement of the Change in Best Near Corrected Visual Acuity (BCNVA)

    Time frame: Days: 1 (Basal Visit), 7 ± 1 (Visit 1), 16 ± 1 (Final Visit)

    The change in BCNVA after exposure to investigation product, compared to basal value.

Other outcomes

  1. Changes in Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

    Time frame: Days: 1 (Basal Visit), 7 ± 1 (Visit 1), 16 ± 1 (Final Visit)

    The change in IOP after exposure to investigation product, compared to basal value.

  2. Number of Cases With Corneal and Conjunctival Staining With Fluorescein

    Time frame: Days: 1 (Basal Visit), 7 ± 1 (Visit 1), 16 ± 1 (Final Visit)

    It was graded according to the Sjögren's International Clinical Collaboration Alliance (SICCA) Ocular Staining Score (CTO). According to the CTO, grade 0 corresponds to the absence of punctate epithelial erosions (PEE); grade 1 is defined as the presence of 1-5 EEPs; grade 2 corresponds to 6-30 EEP; and >30 EEP will be classified as grade 3. Additionally, one qualification point will be added if: 1) EEP is present in the central portion of the cornea with a diameter of 4mm; 2) filaments are observed and 3) confluent staining patches, including linear staining, are observed. A higher score is a worse outcome.

  3. Measurement of Vital Signs (Systolic Blood Pressure)

    Time frame: Days: 1 (Basal Visit), 7 ± 1 (Visit 1), 16 ± 1 (Final Visit)

    The change in blood pressure after exposure to investigation product, compared to basal value.

  4. Measurement of Vital Signs (Heart Rate)

    Time frame: Days: 1 (Basal Visit), 7 ± 1 (Visit 1), 16 ± 1 (Final Visit)

    The change in heart rate after exposure to investigation product, compared to basal value.

  5. Value of the Ocular Comfort Index (OCI) Questionnaire.

    Time frame: Days: 1 (Basal Visit), 16 ± 1 (Final Visit)

    It is a questionnaire designed to measure the irritation of the ocular surface with Rasch analysis to produce estimates on a linear scale of intervals (ratings: 0-100). A higher score is a worse outcome.

    Similar to the index for ocular surface diseases, the ocular comfort index (OCI) evaluates symptoms. The ICO contains 6 items that focus on the discomfort associated with the ocular surface. Each of these questions has two parts, which inquire separately the frequency and severity of the symptoms. The evaluator will deliver the questionnaire to the subject and allow the subject to answer it calmly without any pressure and / or coercion, will only assist him if he has difficulty understanding any of the questions.

  6. Number of Cases With Corneal and Conjunctival Staining With Lissamine Green

    Time frame: Days: 1 (Basal Visit), 7 ± 1 (Visit 1), 16 ± 1 (Final Visit)

    It was graded according to the Sjögren's International Clinical Collaboration Alliance (SICCA) Ocular Staining Score (CTO). According to the CTO, grade 0 corresponds to the absence of punctate epithelial erosions (PEE); grade 1 is defined as the presence of 1-5 EEPs; grade 2 corresponds to 6-30 EEP; and >30 EEP will be classified as grade 3. Additionally, one qualification point will be added if: 1) EEP is present in the central portion of the cornea with a diameter of 4mm; 2) filaments are observed and 3) confluent staining patches, including linear staining, are observed. A higher score is a worse outcome.
