Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficiency of CACICOL20 for bacterial keratitis. It is a double blinded comparison of epithelial defect in two groups of patients randomized between CACICOL20 and physiological salt solution.


Clinical Trial Description

Extracellular matrix, composed of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and matricial proteins, has a key role in tissular homeostasis.

The matrix therapy is a new class of medical substance, called RGTAs, ReGeneraTing Agents, consist of chemically engineered polymers adapted to interact with and protect against proteolytic degradation of cytokines.

OTR4120 (CACICOL20) is an heparan sulphate (HS) mimetic that can replace the degraded HS and protect and improve the bioavailability of cytokines. It aims to facilitate and potentiate the wound healing by restorating the natural microenvironment.

CACICOL20 was used in treating corneal dystrophies and chronic corneal ulcers. It significantly favored corneal healing. It was well tolerated with no side effects.

Bacterial keratitis is a serious ocular condition that may result in significant sight-threatening corneal sequelae. The common risk factors for infectious keratitis include ocular trauma, contact lens wear, recent ocular surgery, preexisting ocular surface disease, dry eyes, lid deformity, corneal sensational impairment, chronic use of topical steroids, and systemic immunosuppression. Serious cases of keratitis are hospitalized to administrate an intensive hospital-made local antibiotic.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficiency of CACICOL20 for bacterial keratitis. It is a double blinded comparison of epithelial defect in two groups of patients randomized between CACICOL20 and physiological salt solution. ;
