Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy/safety of an ophthalmic suspension of povidone-iodine (PVP-I) 0.6% and dexamethasone 0.1% in patients with acute adenoviral conjunctivitis. DESIGN: Multicenter, randomized, vehicle-controlled, double-masked trial. METHODS:Adults with a positive Rapid Pathogen Screening Adeno-Detector Plus test were randomized 1:1:1 to PVP-I 0.6%/dexamethasone 0.1%, PVP-I 0.6%, or vehicle, bilaterally 4 times daily for 5 days (days 1-5). Patients were evaluated on days 3, 6, and 12 (+1-day window). Efficacy measures included clinical resolution and adenoviral eradication. RESULTS: Overall, 144 patients were included in the efficacy analysis (PVP-I/dexamethasone, n = 48; PVP-I, n = 50; vehicle, n = 46). The proportion of patients with clinical resolution (primary study eye with last observation carried forward [LOCF]) at the day 6 visit was higher with PVP-I/dexamethasone (31.3%) than with vehicle (10.9%; P = .0158) and PVP-I (18.0%; P = nonsignificant). The proportion with adenoviral eradication (primary study eye with LOCF) was higher with PVP-I/dexamethasone than with vehicle at the day 3 (35.4% vs 8.7%; P = .0019) and day 6 (79.2% vs 56.5%; P = .0186) visits and vs PVP-I (day 3 visit, 32.0%; day 6 visit, 62.0%; each P = nonsignificant). Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) occurred in 69.0% (vehicle), 62.7% (PVP-I), and 53.4% (PVP-I/dexamethasone) of patients in the safety dataset. Discontinuation owing to AEs occurred in 37 patients (vehicle, n = 16; PVP-I, n = 12; PVP-I/dexamethasone, n = 9). CONCLUSION:PVP-I/dexamethasone appeared safe and well tolerated, and significantly improved clinical resolution and adenoviral eradication in patients with acute adenoviral conjunctivitis.
