  • Intraocular conventional surgery or laser surgery in either eye that is less than three months prior to the Screening Visit.
  • Use of any systemic medications known to affect IOP (e.g., oral beta-adrenergic blockers, alpha-agonists and blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and calcium channel blockers), which have not been on a stable course for at least 7 days prior to Screening Visit or an anticipated change in the dosage during the course of the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change From Baseline in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 6
IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using Goldmann applanation tonometry and measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). A more negative change indicates a greater amount of improvement. One eye was chosen as the study eye, and only data from the study eye were used for the analysis.
Baseline (Day 0), Month 6

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change From Baseline in IOP at Week 6 and Month 3
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Week 6, Month 3
IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using Goldmann applanation tonometry and measured in mmHg. A more negative change indicates a greater amount of improvement. One eye was chosen as the study eye, and only data from the study eye were used for the analysis.
Baseline (Day 0), Week 6, Month 3
Percentage of Subjects Who Reached Target IOP at Each Visit
Time Frame: Week 6, Month 3, Month 6
IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using Goldmann applanation tonometry and measured in mmHg. Target IOP was defined as ≤ 18 mmHg. One eye was chosen as the study eye, and only data from the study eye were used for the analysis.
Week 6, Month 3, Month 6
Number of Subjects With Change From Baseline in Ocular Hyperaemia by Grade at Each Visit
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Week 6, Month 3, Month 6
Ocular Hyperaemia (excess of blood in the white of the eyes (sclera)) was graded by the investigator on a 4-point scale where 0=None/Trace, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, and 3=Severe. One eye was chosen as the study eye, and only data from the study eye were used for the analysis.
Baseline (Day 0), Week 6, Month 3, Month 6
Number of Subjects With Change From Baseline in Corneal Staining by Grade at Month 3 and Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 3, Month 6
Corneal staining was assessed after ophthalmic dye was instilled in the eye. The upper eyelid was lifted slightly, and the eye was compared to grading panels. Corneal staining was graded on a scale from 0 (absent) to 5 (severe). One eye was chosen as the study eye, and only data from the study eye were used for the analysis.
Baseline (Day 0), Month 3, Month 6
Number of Subjects With Change From Baseline in Conjunctiva Staining by Grade at Month 3 and Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 3, Month 6
Conjunctiva staining was assessed after ophthalmic dye was instilled in the eye. The upper eyelid was lifted slightly, and the eye was compared to grading panels. Conjunctiva staining was graded on a scale from 0 (absent) to 5 (severe). One eye was chosen as the study eye, and only data from the study eye were used for the analysis.
Baseline (Day 0), Month 3, Month 6
Mean Change From Baseline in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Score at Month 3 and Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 3, Month 6
The OSDI questionnaire (used to measure vision-related function, ocular symptoms, visual function, and environmental factors that may affect vision) was answered by the subject. Each of the 12 items was scored on a 0-4 Likert scale, where 0 is "None of the time" and 4 is "All of the time." A resultant overall 0-100 score was calculated, with higher scores representing greater disability. A negative number change represents a perceived improvement in ocular health.
Baseline (Day 0), Month 3, Month 6
Mean Change From Baseline In Tear Film Break Up Time (TBUT) at Month 3 and Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 3, Month 6
TBUT (the time required for dry spots to appear on the corneal surface after blinking) was assessed by the investigator using slit lamp examination . A longer break up time is a sign of a more stable tear film. A positive number change from baseline indicates improvement. One eye was chosen as the study eye, and only data from the study eye were used for the analysis.
Baseline (Day 0), Month 3, Month 6
