Outcome results

Primary

Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

Time frame: 6 weeks

Population: The Per Protocol Population was utilized for the primary outcome, included all randomized participants who met all inclusion/exclusion criteria, instilled 75% to 125% of the planned doses for the entire duration of the study, as verified by diaries, and who did not miss the scheduled applications for more than 3 consecutive days, and completed evaluations at Day 14 and Day 42 within the designated visit window (± 4 days) with no protocol deviations that would affect the treatment evaluation.
