Condition: Mydriasis
MeSH terms: Mydriasis
Intervention: Tropicamide 1%-Phenylephrine 2.5% ophthalmic solution (TR/PE); Tropicamide 1% ophthalmic solution (TR); Phenylephrine 2.5% ophthalmic solution (PE)
Intervention description: Fixed combination tropicamide 1%-phenylephrine 2.5% ophthalmic solution administered with the Optejet microdose dispenser; Tropicamide 1% ophthalmic solution administered with the Optejet microdose dispenser; Phenylephrine 2.5% ophthalmic solution administered with the Optejet microdose dispenser

Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional
Primary purpose: Diagnostic
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention model: Crossover Assignment
Intervention model description: This trial was a double-masked, active-controlled, cross-over superiority study evaluating the efficacy of the fixed combination drug vs. the drug's 2 individual components. All participants in the trial were to receive each of the 3 drugs.
Masking: Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor)
Masking description: There were no differences in the presentation of drug administered and all study personnel conducting ophthalmic assessments after drug administration were masked to treatment assignment.

Summary:

      This study evaluated pupil dilation after administration of fixed combination
      tropicamide-phenylephrine (TR/PE) vs. phenylephrine (PE) alone and tropicamide (TR) alone.
      Participants attended 3 visits. At each visit, after baseline measurements, 1 of the 3 drugs
      was administered to both eyes, then pupil dilation and safety assessments were performed at
      specific time intervals.
