About this trial

The clinical trial aims to test the effectiveness and safety of two low-dose atropine sulfate eye drops for delaying myopia progression in children and adolescents.

Primary Objective: evaluate the effectiveness of 0.01% and 0.02% atropine sulfate eye drops for 96 weeks compared to placebo in delaying myopia progression in children and adolescents. Secondary Objective: evaluate the safety of two low-concentration atropine sulfate eye drops (0.01%/0.02%) in delaying myopia progression in children and adolescents.

Exploratory Objective:

1. the efficacy and safety of two low-concentration atropine sulfate eye drops (0.01%/0.02%) for 144 weeks. 2. evaluate the rebound effect of two low-concentration atropine sulfate eye drops (0.01%/0.02%) after discontinuation.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

The legal guardian of the subject voluntarily signed the written informed consent, and the subject over 8 years is required to sign the written informed consent voluntarily.

Patients with myopia aged 6 to 12 years, including cut-offs.

The equivalent spherical refraction ranges from -1.00 D to -4.00 D (automatic optometry under a cycloplegia condition) in both myopia eyes at inclusion screening.

The astigmatism of both eyes was ≤ 1.50 D under a cycloplegia condition at inclusion screening.

Disqualifiers

Allergic to this product or its excipients.

Suffering from eye diseases that may affect vision (e.g. lens diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, fundus macular disease, keratopathy, uveitis, retinal detachment, severe vitreous opacity, etc., manifest strabismus, nystagmus, ocular acute inflammatory disease), history of recurrent chronic ocular inflammation, or any other ocular pathology (e.g., angular stenosis, shallow anterior chamber).

Intraocular pressure of either eye is > 21 mmHg or <10 mmHg at screening.

Use of low-concentration (0.05% and below) atropine sulfate eye drops (including various in-hospital preparations, except for test drugs) and orthokeratology lenses (OK lenses) within 6 months before the screening.
