Outcome results

Primary

Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at Week 12

Time frame: Week 12

Population: The Per Protocol (PP) Population was utilized for the primary outcome. All randomized participants who completed both the baseline visit (eligibility visit 2) and the week 12 visit and who had no major protocol violations, and who also completed week 4 and week 8 visits, were included in the PP population.
