SUMMARY

Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates
and Gramicidin Ophthalmic Solution USP

Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Gramicidin Ophthalmic Solution USP is a sterile antimicrobial solution for ophthalmic use.

EACH mL CONTAINS: ACTIVES: Neomycin Sulfate, (equivalent to 1.75 mg neomycin base), Polymyxin B Sulfate equal to 10,000 Polymyxin B units, Gramicidin, 0.025 mg; INACTIVES: Sodium Chloride, Alcohol (0.5%), Poloxamer 188, Propylene Glycol, Purified Water. Hydrochloric Acid and/ or Ammonium Hydroxide may be added to adjust pH (4.7- 6.0).

Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Gramicidin Ophthalmic Solution is indicated for the topical treatment of superficial infections of the external eye and its adnexa caused by susceptible bacteria. Such infections encompass conjunctivitis, keratitis and keratoconjunctivitis, blepharitis and blepharoconjunctivitis.

Clinical Trials Related to Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Gramicidin Ophthalmic (Neomycin / Polymyxin B / Gramicidin Ophthalmic)

Trial Comparing Neomycin to Rifaximin Plus Neomycin in the Treatment of Methane Positive Subjects With Constipation Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome (C-IBS) [Not yet recruiting]
In this study the investigators aim to compare the efficacy of neomycin to a combination of rifaximin and neomycin in the treatment of C-IBS subjects with methane on their breath test. This study will be conducted in collaboration with Dr. John DiBaise at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ.

Efficacy of the Combination Bismuth + Neomycin + Procaine in the Treatment of Recurrent Aphthous Ulceration [Not yet recruiting]
To evaluate the efficacy of the product Bismu-Jet ® (bismuth tartrate and sodium, neomycin sulfate and procaine hydrochloride) produced by EMS S / A compared to placebo in reducing the signs and symptoms resulting from UAR in patients of both sexes, with age over 12 years.

Comparison of Combination Antibiotics Eyedrop to Artificial Tear in Hordeolum After Incision and Curettage [Recruiting]
To compare the effectiveness of combined antibiotic ophthalmic solution (neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate and gramicidin) with placebo (artificial tear) in the treatment of hordeolum after incision and curettage

Safety Study of EBV Specific Cytotoxic T-Cells to Treat Relapsed EBV-Positive Lymphoma, [Recruiting]
Some patients with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin Lymphoma show evidence of infection with the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis Epstein Barr virus (EBV) before or at the time of their diagnosis of Lymphoma. EBV is often found in the cancer cells suggesting that it may play a role in causing Lymphoma. The cancer cells infected by EBV are very clever because they are able to hide from the body's immune system and escape destruction. We want to see if we can grow special white blood cells, called T cells, that have been trained to kill EBV infected cells and then give them back to the patient. To find out how long these cells last we may put a marker gene into them so we can track them. Gene marking is optional in this study. Eligible patients can participate without the gene marking if they choose.

The purpose of this study is to find the largest safe dose of EBV specific cytotoxic T cells, to learn what the side effects are and to see whether this therapy might help patients with Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Antibiotics for the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis [Recruiting]
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an acute and chronic inflammatory bowel disease, whose cause is unknown. However, it is widely accepted that bacteria living in the large bowel are essential for the development of the disease. Intuitively, therefore, a logical approach to treatment would be to use antibiotics. Howevere, antimicrobial chemotherapy has been unsuccessful in managing acute colitis, and has had only limited benefit in long-term treatment. The failure of antibiotics in UC arises from the fact that no-one has tried to identify which bacteria are involved in causing disease, and equally importantly, nobody has targeted appropriate antibiotics to knock out the specific bacteria in question, in a sysstematic way. Despite this, increasing evidence implicates bacteria living on the lining of the bowel being involved in UC. Our aim, therefore is to identify bacteria colonising the mucosal surface in the lower large intestine and to determine the antibiotic sensitivities of those we beleive to be particularly involved in the disease, such as enterococcit, peptostreptococci and enterobacteria. Because we have already studied resistance to antimicorbial in many mucosal isolate, we plan ot focus on using a combination of two antibiotics in this work. A controlled trial will test the benefit of using these antibiotics over a period of one month and then the patients will be followed up over a six month period. We will be looking for significant long-term improvements, and a reduction in drug use following antibiotic therapy.
