MOXEZA SUMMARY
MOXEZA™ is a sterile solution for topical ophthalmic use.
Moxifloxacin hydrochloride is an 8-methoxy fluoroquinolone anti-infective, with a diazabicyclononyl ring at the C7 position.
MOXEZA™ solution is indicated for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible strains of the following organisms:
Aerococcus viridans*
Corynebacterium macginleyi*
Enterococcus faecalis*
Micrococcus luteus*
Staphylococcus arlettae*
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus capitis
Staphylococcus epidermidis
Staphylococcus haemolyticus
Staphylococcus hominis
Staphylococcus saprophyticus*
Staphylococcus warneri*
Streptococcus mitis*
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Streptococcus parasanguinis*
Escherichia coli*
Haemophilus influenzae
Klebsiella pneumoniae*
Propionibacterium acnes
Chlamydia trachomatis *
*Efficacy for this organism was studied in fewer than 10 infections.

Clinical Trials Related to Moxeza (Moxifloxacin)
Food and Insulin Effect on QT/QTC Interval of ECG [Completed]
Moxifloxacin is routinely used as a probe to confirm assay sensitivity in thorough
electrocardiogram (ECG) studies. It has been shown that a meal shortens the QT interval,
which may affect pharmacokinetics (PK) and/or pharmacodynamics (PD) of the study drug.
However, there is no published data clarifying this issue. There is also a paucity of data
investigating ethnic differences of the effects of medicines on QTc.
The aims of the study were to compare the effect of different food contents to placebo on
the changes in ECG and to demonstrate the effect of insulin, C-peptide and glucose on the
ECG. This was done by giving different treatments on separate days, which included
intravenous insulin, a high carbohydrate breakfast [>70%], and a calorie reduced low
carbohydrate American FDA standard breakfast. Moxifloxacin 400 mg was used as a positive
control and was given with and without food to Caucasian and Japanese volunteers to
investigate racial differences.
Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single Dose Intravenous Moxifloxacin in Pediatric Patients [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to describe the pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin in children to
see what the best dose should be for children in the future. Pharmacokinetics is to see how
the body absorbs, distributes, breaks down and gets rid of the study drug. The
pharmacokinetics of certain drugs may be altered in children due to developmental
differences in various organ functions responsible for drug elimination, as well as in
general distribution characteristics. The safety of moxifloxacin in children with
infections will also be looked at. Results from this study will be used to guide dosing
strategies of the larger clinical trial planned for children
QT Intervals Study to Compare the Acute Effects of Orally Inhaled Dihydroergotamine (DHE), Oral Moxifloxacin, and Placebo [Completed]
Compare the acute effect on the QT interval of MAP0004 (Dihydroergotamine Mesylate delivered
by Oral Inhalation) with Moxifloxacin and Placebo.
Penetration of Moxifloxacin Into Liver Tissue of Patients Undergoing Liver Resection. [Completed]
To Investigate the Effect of Intravenous Ondansetron on Cardiac Conduction as Compared to Placebo and Moxifloxacin in Healthy Adult Subjects [Completed]
Ondansetron, also known as Zofran, is a marketed compound used for the prevention of nausea
and vomiting. This study, called a thorough QT study, will characterize the effects of a
single intravenous (IV) dose of ondansetron on cardiac repolarization as compared to
placebo. Moxifloxacin, a commercially available antibiotic known to cause a mild QT
prolongation, will be used as a positive control and will be given orally. The cardiac
repolarization will be measured by taking consecutive ECGs on a recording device known as a
Holter monitor and measuring the QT interval at specified times. In addition, blood samples
will also be taken at specified times and will be used to measure the amount of study
medication in the body.
