Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Global Ocular Staining Score at Day 35Baseline, Day 35Change from baseline in global ocular staining score (range from 0-15) at Day 35. The global ocular staining score is the sum of three different staining severities, each with a score of 0-5 on a 6-point scale, where 0 is no staining (best) and 5 is diffuse staining (worst).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Questionnaire Score at Day 35Baseline, Day 35Change from baseline in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire score at Day 35. The OSDI questionnaire consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. Each of the 12 questions is assessed using a 5-point scale (where 0=none of the time and 4=all of the time). The score is converted to a 0-100 point score where 0 is no symptoms and 100 is most symptoms.

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Global Ocular Staining Score at Day 35

Change from baseline in global ocular staining score (range from 0-15) at Day 35. The global ocular staining score is the sum of three different staining severities, each with a score of 0-5 on a 6-point scale, where 0 is no staining (best) and 5 is diffuse staining (worst).

Time frame: Baseline, Day 35

Population: Per Protocol: All subjects who were randomised, who received at least one dose of the study product, had at least one follow-up visit and who did not have significant protocol violations and who completed the assessment of this outcome measure at Day 35.
