NCT05268718

Brief Summary

This clinical study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gold-silver cuprous oxide composite nanogels combined with photothermal therapy system in the treatment of severe drug-resistant bacterial keratitis ineffective by traditional antibiotic treatment in human eyes, and to provide translational applications. Based on the clinical evidence, a more effective and safe innovative treatment plan for corneal diseases has been developed.

Study Arms (3)

Nanogel photothermal therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

After the subjects were enrolled in the study, the eyes were coated with Au-Ag-Cu2O nano-gel once (the concentration was 26.4μg/mL, the dosage was suitable to cover the ulcer surface evenly, and the dosage was recorded). Combined with mdl-n-808-10w near-infrared laser (China changchun new industry photoelectric technology) combined with photothermal therapy (laser wavelength 808 nm, power 1.5W/cm2, temperature controlled at 40℃, lasting 10min)

Drug: Hollow gold and silver alloy cuprous oxide shell nano-shell hydrogel

Voriconazole eye drops

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Voliconazole eye drops (once in half an hour) were also used in the control group.

Drug: Voriconazole eye drops

Normal saline

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Normal saline eye drops (once in half an hour) were also used in the control group.

Other: Normal saline

Interventions

Hollow gold and silver alloy cuprous oxide shell nano-shell hydrogel was excited by NIR laser to release functional silver ions, copper ions and ROS.

Also known as: Au-Ag-Cu2O nano-gel
Nanogel photothermal therapy

Voriconazole eye drops (1%) were administrated to infectious eye very frequently (once half an hour)

Also known as: VRC
Voriconazole eye drops

To be placebo, normal saline were administrated to infectious eye

Also known as: NS
Normal saline

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • The monocular cases of severe infectious keratitis admitted to our center were diagnosed as fungal keratitis according to their medical history, physical signs and surface secretions smear examination of corneal ulcer lesions (severe was defined as subjects with visual acuity \< 0.15, deep stromal infiltration or involvement diameter \>2mm, with extensive infiltration around or with extensive suppuration)
  • After more than 2 weeks of active treatment with antibiotics, there was no effect
  • The researchers communicated with the subjects in detail, and the subjects cooperated well and they voluntarily participated and signed informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Allergic to the drug in this test.
  • Pregnant and lactating women.
  • The medical history suggests serious heart, lung, liver, kidney dysfunction.
  • Patients with other factors that would affect the results of this result.
  • No signed informed consent.
