Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Ocular ItchingThe outcome measure was assessed at Visit 4b (Day 1: 16h post-treatment) and Visit 5 (Day 8 ±3, 15 minutes post-treatment).The primary efficacy measure was ocular itching evaluated by the subject at 3 (± 1), 5 (±1), and 7 (± 1) minutes post-CAC (Conjunctival Allergen Challenge) at Visits 4b and 5, using a 0 to 4 Ora Calibra scale (0 = None , 4= An incapacitating itch with an irresistible urge to rub).

Outcome results

Primary

Ocular Itching

The primary efficacy measure was ocular itching evaluated by the subject at 3 (± 1), 5 (±1), and 7 (± 1) minutes post-CAC (Conjunctival Allergen Challenge) at Visits 4b and 5, using a 0 to 4 Ora Calibra scale (0 = None , 4= An incapacitating itch with an irresistible urge to rub).

Time frame: The outcome measure was assessed at Visit 4b (Day 1: 16h post-treatment) and Visit 5 (Day 8 ±3, 15 minutes post-treatment).
