What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Related Unexpected Adverse Events (AE)

    Presence/absence of related non expected adverse events

    Measured: Day 10

  2. Ocular Comfort Index

    Ocular Comfort Index (OCI) Questionnaire for evaluation of dry eye symptoms in a scale from 0 to 100. Greater scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: Day 8

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Changes in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)

    Visual acuity (VA) is a test of visual function. It will be evaluated with the Snellen chart. The Snellen chart is the standard tool used to evaluate visual acuity. It was located in a place with adequate lighting, natural or artificial and at a distance of 3 meters from the subject to be evaluated. The contralateral eye to which it will be evaluated is covered, then the examiner detects until the line can clearly see the letters given he or she a score, the normal score for a VA is 20/20.This score can be expressed in fraction (i.e. 20/20) decimal (i.e. 1.0), or LogMAR (i.e. 0) formats. In this study, VA is expressed in decimal format. In decimal format, a lower number is a worse outcome.

    Measured: Baseline vs Day 8

  2. Conjunctival and Corneal Staining With Lissamine Green

    Conjunctival and corneal staining with lissamine green. The evaluation will take place after applying the lissamine green stain on the ocular surface and evaluating the resulting staining pattern. This will be measured through the Oxford scale which includes 6 grades: Absent (0), Minimal (I), Mild (II), Moderate (III), Marked (IV), Severe (V).

    Measured: Day 8

  3. Conjunctival and Corneal Staining With Fluorescein

    Conjunctival and corneal staining with fluorescein. The evaluation will take place after applying the fluorescein tain on the ocular surface and evaluating the resulting staining pattern. This will be measured through the Oxford scale which includes 6 grades: Absent (0), Minimal (I), Mild (II), Moderate (III), Marked (IV), Severe (V).

    Measured: Day 8

  4. Conjunctival Hyperemia

    Rate of conjunctival hyperemia will be evaluated through the Efron scale which includes 5 grades: Normal (0), Very Mild (I), Mild (II), Moderate (3), and Severe (4).

    Measured: Day 8

  5. Chemosis Incidence

    Chemosis incidence will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit

    Measured: Day 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bepotastine Besilate in people with Safety and Tolerability, run by Laboratorios Sophia S.A de C.V. at 1 site in Mexico.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mexico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jul 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Related Unexpected Adverse Events (AE) (time frame: Day 10). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jul 2025.
