Protocol summary

Study aim
In this study, the safety and effect of the CM11 peptide as eye drops along with standard treatment in patients with bacterial keratitis is being evaluated.
Design
Phase 1 clinical trial has two control and test groups, unblinded, selected, on 10 patients, including 5 patients with standard treatment and 5 patients with standard treatment and combined with peptide.
Settings and conduct
The evaluation will be done in the ophthalmologist's office. The control group receives only standard antibiotic eye drops (ceftazidime + vancomycin). The test group, along with receiving the standard antibiotic eye drops, simultaneously receive the solution containing the peptide. Eye drops are used every 6 hours during the treatment and patients are followed for three months after treatment.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients with bacterial keratitis can enter the study if they have consent. Patients with fungal keratitis, bacterial keratitis with widespread eye infection, systemic immunodeficiency, or a history of corneal transplantation are excluded from the study.
Intervention groups
Candidates are divided into two groups of 5 people, control and test. In the control group, they only receive standard antibiotic eye drops (ceftazidime + vancomycin) to treat keratitis. The other group as the test group, along with receiving the standard antibiotic eye drops, simultaneously receive the solution containing the peptide.
Main outcome variables
Removal of bacterial infection, duration of treatment

Description
Treatment is done using standard antibiotic eye drops (ceftazidime + vancomycin) along with drops containing CM11 antibacterial peptide. For this purpose, eye drops containing 16 µg/ml peptide will be used. During the first week of treatment, patients use peptide drops at 4-hour intervals, and after that, at 6-hour intervals until the infection treatment. The peptide consists of 11 amino acids, synthesized by Morvarid Darou Company in pharmaceutical grade and formulated by Sina Darou Company. This peptide has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity.
