Inclusion criteria
An understanding, ability, and willingness to fully comply with study procedures and restrictions (by the parent(s), guardian, or legally authorized representative, if applicable).
Ability to voluntarily provide written, signed, and dated (personally or via a parent(s), guardian, or legally authorized representative(s) informed consent (and assent, if applicable) to participate in the study.
Participants of any age at Visit 1 (Note: participants lesser than (<) 3 months of age at Visit 1 must have been full-term, i.e. greater than or equal to (>=) 37 weeks gestational age at birth).
Meet at least 1 of the 2 criteria below:
a) Have a positive AdenoPlus test at Visit 1 in at least 1 eye. b) Have at least 2 of the following 5 criteria, based upon medical history and examination: i.Symptoms within the past 7 days consistent with acute upper respiratory tract infection (eg. sore throat, cough, rhinorrhea, etc).
ii. Contact within the past 7 days with family members or other individuals with recent onset of symptoms consistent with conjunctivitis iii. Acute onset within the past 4 days of one or more of the following ocular symptoms: burning/irritation, foreign body sensation, light sensitivity.
iv. Enlarged periauricular lymph node(s). v. Presence of follicles on tarsal conjunctiva. Note:If the participant only meets Inclusion Criterion (a positive AdenoPlus test in at least 1 eye), then the same eye must meet the mentioned below Inclusion Criterion.
Have a clinical diagnosis of suspected adenoviral conjunctivitis in at least 1 eye confirmed by the presence of the following minimal clinical signs and symptoms in that same eye:
Be willing to discontinue contact lens wear for the duration of the study.
Have a Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) of 0.60 logMAR or better in each eye as measured using an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart. BCVA will be assessed by an age appropriate method in accordance with the AAP Policy Statement for Visual System Assessment in Infants, Children, and Young Adults by Pediatricians (Donahue and Baker 2016; American Academy of Pediatrics 2016).The policy statement recommends formal vision screening can begin at 3 years of age. VA measurements for children under the age of 3 will be done at the discretion of the investigator.
If not done, child should be able to fixate on and follow a moving object, except participants <2 months of age who have not yet developed this ability. Participants <2 months will be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.
Male, or non-pregnant, non-lactating female who agrees to comply with any applicable contraceptive requirements of the protocol or females of non-childbearing potential.
Exclusion criteria
Note:history or concomitant presence of presumed seasonal or perennial allergic conjunctivitis signs/symptoms is not exclusionary.
Neonates or infants (i.e. participants less than 12 months of age) who have suspected or confirmed (based on the result of any test conducted prior to screening) conjunctivitis of gonococcal, chlamydial, herpetic or chemical origin.
Neonates or infants (i.e. participants less than 12 months of age) whose birth mothers had any sexually transmitted disease within 1 month of delivery or any history of genital herpes.
Presence of nasolacrimal duct obstruction at Visit 1 (Day 1).
Presence of any significant ophthalmic condition (e.g. Retinopathy of Prematurity, congenital cataract, congenital glaucoma) or other congenital disorder with ophthalmic involvement that could affect study variables.
Be a known intraocular pressure (IOP) steroid responder, have a known history or current diagnosis of glaucoma, or be a glaucoma suspect.
Have any known clinically significant optic nerve defects.
Have a history of recurrent corneal erosion syndrome, either idiopathic or secondary to previous corneal trauma or dry eye syndrome; presence of corneal epithelial defect or any significant corneal opacity at Visit 1.
Presence of significant, active condition in the posterior segment which requires invasive treatment (e.g. intravitreal treatment with VEGF inhibitors or corticosteroids) and may progress during the study participation period.
Have used any topical ocular or systemic anti-vials or antibiotics within <= 7 days of enrollment.
Have used any topical ocular Non-steroidal Anti-inflammataory Drugs (NSAIDs) within <= 1 day of enrollment.
Have used any topical ophthalmic steroids in the last <= 14 days.
Have used any systemic corticosteroid agents within <= 14 days of Day 1. Stable (initiated >= 30 days prior to enrollment) use of inhaled and nasal corticosteroids is allowed, given no anticipated change in dose for the duration of the study. Topical dermal steroids are allowed except in the peri-ocular area.
Have used non-corticosteroid immunosuppressive agents within <= 14 days of Day 1.
Have used any topical ophthalmic products, including tear substitutes, and over-the-counter preparations such as lid scrubs, within 2 hours of Visit 1 and be unable to discontinue all topical ophthalmic products for the duration of the study. Use of hot or cold compresses is also not permitted during the study.
Have any significant ocular disease (eg, Sjogren's syndrome) or any uncontrolled systemic disease or debilitating disease (eg, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, sexually transmitted diseases/infections, diabetes or cystic fibrosis), that may affect the study parameters, per the investigator's discretion.
Any known history of immunodeficiency disorder or known active conditions predisposing to immunodeficiency, such as human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B or C, evidence of active hepatitis A (antihepatitis A virus immunoglobulin M), or organ or bone marrow transplantation.
