Evaluation of Short Term Use of Experimental Eye Drops BHVI2, 0.02% Atropine and BHVI2 Plus 0.02% Atropine Eye Drops

February 11, 2020 updated by: Hai Yen Eye Care

A One-month, Randomized, Single Centre, Double-masked, Comparative Study to Evaluate the Short-term Ocular Effects of Experimental BHVI2 and 0.02% Atropine Eye Drops Either Alone or in Combination

To assess the one-month ocular effects of nightly application of experimental BHVI2 and 0.02% atropine eye drops either alone or in combination, in children aged between 6 to 13 years old with myopia and randomized to use of experimental BHVI2 eye drops, 0.02% atropine eye drops, experimental BHVI2 plus 0.02% atropine eye drops.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Atropine was proven to be effective in controlling myopia. 7-methylxanthine was considered to play a role in slowing myopia. The experimental BHVI2 eye drops were proven to be safe for in-eye use in the trial that was conducted in Sydney, Australia. The investigators wish to evaluate the effects of experimental BHVI2 and 0.02% atropine eye drops either alone or in combination mainly on the pupillary and accommodative responses in children aged between 6 to 13 years old over a one-month period.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is able to read and comprehend Vietnamese/English and give informed consent as demonstrated by signing a record of informed consent;
  • at baseline, be within the age range of 6 to 13 years old inclusive;
  • be diagnosed as myopic having spherical equivalent between -0.50 diopter and-6.00 diopter.
  • willing to comply with the applying eye drops once nightly at bedtime and follow the clinical trial visit schedule as directed by the Investigator.
  • be willing to comply with the wearing and clinical trial visit schedule as directed by the investigator;
  • have ocular findings deemed to be normal
  • vision correctable to at least 20/25 or better in each eye with spectacles

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects enrolled in the trial must NOT have:

  • Any pre-existing ocular irritation, allergic conjunctivitis, injury or condition, including infection or disease.
  • Any systemic disease that adversely affects ocular health e.g. diabetes, Graves disease, and auto-immune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, multiple sclerosis, Sjögrens syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus. Conditions such as systemic hypertension and arthritis do not automatically exclude prospective participants.
  • Use of or a need for concurrent category S3 and above ocular medication at enrolment and/or during the clinical trial.
  • Use of or a need for any systemic medication or topical medications which may alter normal ocular findings / are known to affect a participant's ocular health / physiology or contact lens performance either in an adverse or beneficial manner at enrolment and/or during the clinical trial.
  • NB: Systemic antihistamines are allowed on an "as needed basis", provided they are not used prophylactically during the trial and at least 24 hours before the clinical trial product is used.
  • History of eye trauma
  • History of use of myopia control interventions such as Orthokeratology or eye surgery.
  • Contraindications to atropine and caffeine such as pulmonary disease, heart conditions and ADHD
  • Known allergy or intolerance to ingredients to atropine eye-drops, xanthines and other derivatives of anti-muscarinic receptor agents.
  • Currently enrolled in another clinical trial.
