A Bioequivalence Study of Tobramycin and Prednisolone Acetate Compared to PredForte

March 13, 2013 updated by: Bausch & Lomb Incorporated

A Multi-Center, Randomized, Double Masked, Bioequivalence Study of Tobramycin and Prednisolone Acetate (0.3/1.0%, ISTA) Ophthalmic Suspension Compared to PredForte (1.0% Prednisolone Acetate, Allergan) Ophthalmic Suspension

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the bioequivalence of the combination test agent, prednisolone acetate 1.0% and tobramycin 0.3% ophthalmic suspension compared to PredForte (prednisolone acetate 1.0%) ophthalmic suspension. Bioequivalence will be measured by comparing aqueous humor concentrations of prednisolone acetate.
