Outcome results

Primary

Photographic Assessment of Bulbar Conjunctival Hyperemia Change in Score From Baseline (CFB) at 15 Days (Evaluated Via Central Reading Center).

The primary efficacy endpoint is photographic assessment of bulbar conjunctival hyperemia \[evaluated by the central reading center (CRC)\] in the study eye, change in score from baseline (CFB) at Visit 4 (Day 15). Scoring is from 0 (None) to 4 (Severe) on the CCLRU Grading Scale for Bulbar Conjunctival Hyperemia.

Time frame: Change from baseline (Day 1) at Visit 4 (Day 15)

Population: mITT population: CFB in Photographic Assessment of Bulbar Conjunctival Hyperemia in the Worst Zone (highest grading score at baseline among nasal, temporal, and frontal zones) of Study Eye at Day 15
