- Allergy: Ascertained or presumptive hypersensitivity to the active principle and/or ingredients of investigational products; history of anaphylaxis to drugs or allergic reactions in general, which the Investigator considers may affect the outcome of the study
- Investigative drug studies: participation in the evaluation of any investigational product for 3 months before this study. The 3-month interval is calculated as the time between the first calendar day of the month that follows the last visit of the previous study and the first day of the present study
- Drug, alcohol, caffeine, tobacco: history of drug, alcohol [greater than 1 drink/day for women and greater than 2 drinks/day for men, defined according to the USDA Dietary Guidelines 2015-2020], caffeine (greater than 5 cups coffee/tea/day) or tobacco abuse (greater than or equal 10 cigarettes/day)
- Alcohol test: positive alcohol breath test at Day 1
- Pregnancy (women only): positive or missing pregnancy test at screening, pregnant or lactating women

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Participants Gaining Full Conjunctival Anesthesia of the Ocular Surface
Time Frame: Day 1
|
Number of partecipants gaining full conjunctival anesthesia of the ocular surface, evaluated by conjunctiva pinching (0.3-mm forceps), 5 minutes after administration of Chloroprocaine 3% ophthalmic gel, in comparison to placebo - only study eye (right eye)
|
Day 1
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Time to Anesthesia, Evaluated by Conjunctiva Pinching (0.3-mm Forceps) - Only Study Eye (Right Eye)
Time Frame: Day 1
|
Time to anesthesia, evaluated by conjunctiva pinching (0.3-mm forceps) - only study eye (right eye)
|
Day 1
|
Duration of Anesthesia - Only Right Eye
Time Frame: Day 1
|
Duration of anesthesia, evaluated by conjunctiva pinching (0.3-mm forceps) - only study eye (right eye)
|
Day 1
|
Visual Acuity (EDTRS Chart) - Both Eyes
Time Frame: Up to day 7
|
Visual acuity will be assessed, for all subjects and both eyes using an EDTRS chart (visual acuity is scored with reference to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, an observer who can resolve details as small as 1 minute of visual angle scores LogMAR 0, since the base-10 logarithm of 1 is 0; an observer who can resolve details as small as 2 minutes of visual angle (i.e., reduced acuity) scores LogMAR 0.3, since the base-10 logarithm of 2 is near-approximately 0.3; and so on)
|
Up to day 7
|
Ocular Symptoms
Time Frame: Up to day 7
|
The ocular symptoms will be assessed: burning, stinging, itching, foreign body sensation. Scores will be determined using a 100 mm VAS where 0 means "no symptoms" and 100 means "worst possible discomfort". |
Up to day 7
|
Ocular Signs by Slit Lamp Examination
Time Frame: Up to day 7
|
Slit lamp biomicroscopy will be performed for the assessment of the following parameters: conjunctival redness, anterior chamber flare, conjunctival chemosis, eyelid swelling. Presence and severity will be graded according to a 4 point scale, where (0) none, (1) mild, (2) moderate, (3) severe. |
Up to day 7
|
Corneal Fluorescein Staining by Slit Lamp Examination - Both Eyes
Time Frame: Up to day 7
|
Fluorescein will be used to detect corneal epithelial defects using slit lamp biomicroscopy.
As grading scale for corneal damage, the NEI/Industry Workshop guidelines will be used.
The cornea will be divided into five sectors (central, superior, inferior, nasal and temporal), each of which is scored on a scale of 0-3, where 0 means no staining and 3 means maximum staining, with a maximal score of 15.
|
Up to day 7
|
Intraocular Pressure (IOP) - Both Eyes
Time Frame: Up to day 7
|
Intraocular pressure will be measured with a slit-lamp mounted Goldmann applanation tonometer.
Before each measurement one drop of oxybuprocaine hydrochloride combined with sodium fluorescein will be used for local anaesthesia of the cornea.
|
Up to day 7
|
Fundus Ophthalmoscopy (Vitreous, Macula, Retina and Optic Nerve Head) With the Slit Lamp - Both Eyes
Time Frame: Up to day 7
|
Indirect fundus ophthalmoscopy will be performed, for all subjects and both eyes, with the observation at the slit lamp using a +90 diopters Volk lens.The evaluation is performed with a grading scale: 0 None, 1 Mild, 2 Moderate, 3 Severe for each parameters evaluated.
|
Up to day 7
|
Vital Signs (Blood Pressure)
Time Frame: Up to day 7
|
Subjects blood pressure will be measured by the Investigator or his/her deputy
|
Up to day 7
|
Vital Signs (Heart Rate)
Time Frame: Up to day 7
|
Subjects heart rate will be measured by the Investigator or his/her deputy
|
Up to day 7
