About

The objectives of this study are:

• To evaluate the safety of Nyxol in pediatric subjects
• To evaluate the efficacy of Nyxol to expedite the reversal of pharmacologically induced mydriasis in pediatric subjects The Sponsor intends to use this study to evaluate Nyxol in pediatric subjects aged 3 to 11 for the indication "the treatment of pharmacologically induced mydriasis produced by adrenergic (phenylephrine) or parasympatholytic (tropicamide) agents, or a combination thereof."

Full description

This is a randomized, parallel-arm, double-masked, placebo-controlled study in approximately 20 randomized pediatric subjects evaluating the safety and efficacy of Nyxol in pediatric subjects with pharmacologically induced mydriasis with three dilating agents (e.g., phenylephrine, tropicamide, and Paremyd). Pediatric subjects will be recruited for the study into 2 age groups as follows:1) 3 to 5 years of age: 10 subjects 2) 6 to 11 years of age: 10 subjects.

Enrollment: 23 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 3 to 11 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

4. Ocular trauma or ocular surgery within the 6 months prior to screening

5. Use of any topical prescription or over-the-counter (OTC)ophthalmic medications of any kind within 7 days of screening

6. Recent or current evidence of ocular infection or inflammation in either eye (such as current evidence of clinically significant blepharitis, conjunctivitis, or keratitis). Subjects must be symptom-free for at least 7 days prior to screening

   Systemic:

10. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to α- and/or β-adrenoceptor antagonists

11. Clinically significant systemic disease (eg, uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, hepatic, renal, endocrine, or cardiovascular disorders) that in the opinion of the Investigator could interfere with the study

12. Subjects with learning disabilities that in the opinion of the investigator could interfere with the study

13. Initiation of treatment with or any changes to the current dosage, drug, or regimen of any systemic adrenergic or cholinergic drugs within 7 days prior to screening or during the study(Appendix 4)
