Clinical Trial Summary

Children's tear film and ocular surface are increasingly exposed to environmental factors. The tear film is the most important barrier protecting the eye from external insults such as pollen, dust, sand. If a foreign substance is not washed away by the tear film, it eventually reaches the ocular surface resulting in eye irritation, ocular secretions, and/or allergic response. Primary intervention is aimed at avoiding allergens and using eye lubricants to facilitate the washout of the foreign substance. It is also recommended to regularly clean the children's eyes to avoid infections. Topical medications are usually recommended only in the presence of infectious conjunctivitis. Ocular secretions are also commonly observed in newborn babies. Neonatal ocular discharge is often related to congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) which normally occurs within the first weeks of age. CNLDO (also known as dacryostenosis) results from a congenital abnormality of the lacrimal drainage system in the form of a membranous obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct of one or both eyes. In most cases, blocked tear ducts open spontaneously within the first 6-12 months of age. Traditionally, management of CNLDO consists of frequent lacrimal sac massages and regular cleaning of the eyes. Topical antibiotic therapy is indicated only with the clinical evidence of infection. For these reasons, an interventional, non-comparative, single-center Post Marketing Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study was planned to evaluate the performance and safety of "LUXIDROPIN BABY & JUNIOR" used to facilitate the removal of ocular secretions in pediatric subjects. The objectives of the PMCF study are confirmation of the performance, collection of additional safety data regarding expected adverse events and detection of potential unexpected adverse events associated with the use of "LUXIDROPIN BABY & JUNIOR" according to the Instructions for Use (IFU). Each pediatric subject whose parent(s)/legal guardian signed an Informed Consent Form (ICF), will enter the screening and baseline phase (the 2 visits will coincide) during which baseline procedures will be completed. At baseline visit (V0), "LUXIDROPIN BABY & JUNIOR" will be administered to the enrolled subject. The patient will perform 2 on-site visits: V0 and V2/EOS. To monitor the safety, 1 phone contact is planned (V1) to check for potential adverse events and concomitant medications intake.
