Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a single application of AL-60371/AL-817 Otic Suspension relative to ototopical CIPRODEX for sustained clinical cure, microbiological success, and time to cessation of otorrhea.

Description:

The results at the time of the interim analysis met the futility criteria and the study was subsequently stopped.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Proportion of Subjects With Sustained Clinical Cure at Day 3 Visit	A sustained clinical cure at Day 3 was attained if otorrhea was absent at the Day 3 visit and continued to be absent through the last study visit (Day 8 or Early Exit). Proportion of subjects is reported as a percentage.	Day 3 post-treatment up to Day 8 or Early Exit
Secondary	Proportion of Subjects With Microbiological Success at the Day 8 Visit	Microbiological success was attained if all pre-therapy bacteria were absent in the Day 8 specimen. In a subject with no otorrhea at Day 8, eradication of pre-therapy bacteria was presumed and the subject was considered a microbiological success.	Day 8
Secondary	Median Time (in Days) to Cessation of Otorrhea	Median time (in days) to the cessation of otorrhea (ie, otorrhea was absent) was calculated as the number of days from the Day 1 (Visit 1) to the absence of otorrhea in the affected ear(s) as recorded by the parent/guardian via the twice-daily diary. Cessation of otorrhea was defined as ending on the first day that otorrhea was absent from the affected ear(s) and remained absent for any/all subsequent diary entries.	Time to event, up to Day 8
