Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the study treatment (combined levofloxacin + dexamethasone eye drops) followed by dexamethasone eye drops alone vs. standard treatment in the prevention and treatment of postoperative ocular inflammation and prevention of infection.


Clinical Trial Description

In clinical practice, topical treatment following cataract surgery is frequently administered using a combination between an antibiotic and a corticosteroid to promote patient adherence to therapy and to obtain both prevention of infection and treatment of post-surgical inflammation.

The combination of tobramycin and dexamethasone is among the most widely used combinations, however, treatment duration and the need for tapering posology over several weeks may favour the development of bacterial resistance. The study treatment associating a broad-spectrum antibiotic with a highly effective corticosteroid that can be used for a short period of time (one week) is therefore of considerable interest.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the non-inferiority of the study treatment, used for a limited period of time and followed by dexamethasone alone, compared to standard treatment in preventing and treating ocular inflammation and in preventing post-operative infection while limiting the emergence of antibiotic resistance. ;
