Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 20 µg/ml 6 times a day of rhNGF eye drops solution (formulation containing anti-oxidant) compared to vehicle (formulation containing anti-oxidant) given 6 times a day. The evaluation of efficacy is intended as: - complete healing of stage 2 (persistent epithelial defect) and 3 (corneal ulcer) neurotrophic keratitis (NK) as measured by the central reading center using corneal fluorescein staining, - assessing the duration of complete healing, - improvement in visual acuity and improvement in corneal sensitivity.


Clinical Trial Description

An 8-week phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled, parallel group study with a 24 or 32 week follow-up period to evaluate the efficacy of a formulation containing anti-oxidant of recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) in 20 μg/ml, eye drops solution versus vehicle containing anti-oxidant in patients with Stage 2 and 3 Neurotrophic Keratitis. The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of 20 μg/ml 6 times a day of recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) containing anti-oxidant, eye drops solution compared to vehicle (formulation containing anti-oxidant) given 6 times a day in inducing a complete healing of stage 2 (PED) and 3 (corneal ulcer) NK as measured by the central reading center, evaluating the clinical pictures of corneal fluorescein staining. Secondary objectives were to assess the duration of complete healing, improvement in visual acuity and improvement in corneal sensitivity, and percentage of patients achieving complete corneal clearing defined as complete absence of staining on the modified Oxford Scale. ;
