Scientific titleA Colateral, Double-Masked, Randomized Study to Evaluate Preservative-Free Levocabastine 0.05% Ophthalmic Solution When Compared to Preserved Levocabastin 0.05% Ophthalmic Suspension or Preservative-Free Levocabastine Ophthalmic Solution Vehicle During Allergen Challenge
Study acronymLevocabastine
Study objectivesEvaluation of efficacy and safety of Prerservative-free Levocabastine ophthalmic solution compared to Preserved Levocabastine ophthalmic suspension and Preservative-free Levocabastine ophthalmic solution vehicle in prevention of allergic conjunctivitis induced by ocular allergen challenge
Ethics approval(s)Approval received from the local ethics committee (Comité de Protection des Personnes CPP Ile de France III) on the 31st of July 2007 (Ref: CPP Dossier No 2445)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAllergic Conjunctivitis
Intervention1. Preservative-free Levocabastine 0.05% ophthalmic solution (formula LCM-1218)
2. Preserved Levocabastine 0.05% ophthalmic suspension (Levophta, formula LCM-1215)
3. Preservative-free Levocabastine ophthalmic solution vehicle (formula LCM-1228)

3/4 of patients will receive (1) in one eye and (2) in the second eye
