Eligibility
Recruits 468 paediatric patients.
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- Female subjects who are pregnant, nursing, or plan to become pregnant at any time during the study
- Vulnerable Population
- The study enrols pediatric subjects (ages 3–15). Consent must be provided by a parent or legal guardian in writing and the HIPAA form (or equivalent) signed; whenever practical and appropriate per local requirements a child's assent should also be sought. The protocol specifies following national/local requirements for minors and requires obtaining participant consent on the appropriate form for subjects who reach the age of consent during the study. Age-specific ICFs and assent forms are provided (documents for ages 5 and below, 6–10, 11–15, children who turn 16, parents/legal guardians).
Inclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- A parent or legal guardian of each subject must provide written informed consent and sign the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) form (or equivalent, if applicable), approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethical Committee (EC). Whenever practical and appropriate per local requirements, a child’s assent should also be sought before inclusion into the study. UK, Hungary, Poland, I reland, Slovakia, Spain: The protocol is being conducted in various countries with varying ages for consent and is written to require informed consent procedures for minors in Europe based on national requirements, based on the latest guidelines on informed consent of minors. For subjects reaching age of consent during the study duration as per local requirements, consent must be obtained on the appropriate Participant Consent Form\n- Be able to comply with study requirements, attend all study visits, have ability to read and understand native language of subject, and be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian\n- Be between 3-15 years of age of either sex and any race or ethnicity at Visit 1 (Day -14 to -1)\n- Have refractive error by cycloplegic autorefraction at baseline (Visit 1) in the study eye of: a. myopia between -1.00 D and -6.00 D, inclusive, of spherical equivalent b. astigmatism less than or equal to 1.50 DC\n- Have anisometropia ≤ 1.0 D of spherical equivalent at Visit 1\n- Have a best-corrected distance visual acuity of (BCVA) of logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) ≤ 0.4 (approximately Snellen 20/50) for 3 year olds; logMAR ≤ 0.3 (approximately Snellen 20/40) for 4 year olds; logMAR ≤ 0.18 (approximately Snellen 20/30) for ≥ 5 year olds) in each eye as measured using an Early Treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart [R,1 or 2], or Lea Chart for subjects who do not know the alphabet, at Visit 1 and Visit 2\n- Ireland, Slovakia, Spain, US, China: Females of childbearing potential agree to have urine pregnancy testing performed at screening (must be negative); must not be lactating; and must agree to use a medically acceptable form of birth control throughout the study duration (i.e., Spermicide with barrier, oral contraceptive, injectable or implantable method of contraception, transdermal contraceptive, intrauterine device, or surgical sterilization of partner). For non-sexually active females, abstinence will be considered an acceptable form of birth control. Females of childbearing potential include all females who have experienced menarche and have not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy).\n- Be able and willing to avoid all prohibited medications during the washout period between screening and randomization and during the study without significant risk to the subject."}
