Description
Due to a typing error, the volumes of the trial drugs lidocaine and xylometazoline were interchanged. This error occurred in the production of the Standard Operating Proceudre (SOP) for medicine preparation, where the dosages were erroneously typed.

At all visits where participants were allocated to receive 0.5 ml xylometazoline and 1.5 ml lidocaine they instead received 1.5 ml xylometazoline and 0.5 ml lidocaine.
Sponsor actions
The breach was discovered during data analysis after completion of the trial and correction of the breach was therefore not possible. The dosages are correctly noted in the trial protocol and erroneously in the Standard Operating Proceudre (SOP) which all trial medicine dosages was confirmed with. Our investigation has concluded and identified the typing error in the Standard Operating Proceudre (SOP) as the origin of the breach. No more data needs to be collected for this study, so no measures are taken to prevent further implications of the breach in this study.
