This study has been completed.
Sponsored by: Novagali Pharma
Information provided by: Novagali Pharma
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00328653
  Purpose

The primary objective of this study is:

  • To assess the efficacy of Nova22007, a cyclosporine A (CsA), 0.05% and 0.1% versus vehicle in patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) after a 4-week treatment period.

The secondary objectives of this study are:

  • To compare the safety and ocular tolerance of Nova22007 0.05% and 0.1%;
  • To assess the long term safety and ocular tolerance of Nova22007 0.05% and 0.1%; and
  • To assess the decrease in frequency of concomitant artificial tears use.
