Inclusion criteria

-Male and female adult patients with eyelash hypotrichosis (inadequate eyelash growth).

Exclusion criteria

* Damage to eyelid area (scarring) that may prevent growth of eyelashes * Active eye diseases (glaucoma, uveitis, eye infections, chronic blepharitis or severe dry eye) * Eye or eyelid surgery (including laser, refractive, intraocular filtering surgery, blepharoplasty) during the 3 months prior to screening * Current eyelash implants of any kind * Eyelash tint or dye application within 2 months of baseline * Eyelash extensions application within 3 months of baseline * Use of eyelash growth products within 6 months of baseline * Treatments that may affect hair growth (minoxidil, cancer chemotherapeutic agents, etc) within 6 months prior to baseline.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Increase (Improvement) From Baseline in the Investigator's Assessment of Overall Eyelash Prominence (GEA)Baseline, Month 4The investigator evaluated the overall eyelash prominence in both eyes using the GEA 4-point scale: 1= minimal, 2= moderate, 3= marked and 4= very marked. A 1-grade improvement in the GEA score from Baseline indicated improvement.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Upper Eyelash Length as Measured Using Digital Image Analysis (DIA)Baseline, Month 4Photographs were taken of the eyelashes and assessed using DIA. Length was measured in millimeters (mm). Data from both eyes were averaged for each participant for analysis. A positive change from Baseline indicated longer length (improvement)
Change From Baseline in Upper Eyelash Thickness/Fullness as Measured Using DIABaseline Month 4Photographs were taken of the eyelashes and assessed using DIA. Eyelash thickness (fullness) was measured in millimeters squared (mm\^2). Data from both eyes were averaged for each participant for analysis. A positive change from Baseline indicated fuller eyelashes (improvement).
Change From Baseline in Upper Eyelash Intensity (Darkness) as Measured Using DIABaseline, Month 4Photographs were taken of the eyelashes and assessed using DIA. Eyelash darkness (intensity) was measured in both eyes and averaged for analysis using a scale where 0=black and 255=white. A negative change from Baseline indicated darker eyelashes (improvement).
Percentage of Participants Satisfied or Very Satisfied in the Patient's Assessment of Overall Eyelash Satisfaction as Measured by the Eyelash Satisfaction Questionnaire (ESQ-9)Month 4Participants rated their overall eyelash satisfaction by answering Eyelash Satisfaction Questionnaire (ESQ-9) question #3: Overall, how satisfied are you with your eyelashes? using a 5-point scale: 1= very unsatisfied (worst), 2= unsatisfied, 3= neutral, 4= satisfied or 5= very satisfied (best). The percentage of participants who rated their satisfaction as satisfied or very satisfied at Month 4 is reported.
