Study Summary

Primary objectives * To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in Schirmer I test (without anaesthesia) \>10mm/5min at Week 4 by testing the superiority. * To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye questionnaire (SANDE) global score at Week 12 by testing the superiority. Secondary objectives * To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in Schirmer I test at Week 4, 8, 12 and 16 by testing the superiority. * To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in Cornea and conjunctiva vital staining with fluorescein (National Eye Institute \[NEI\] scales) at Week 4, 8, 12 and 16 by testing the superiority. * To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in Tear Film Break-Up Time (TFBUT) at Week 4, 8, 12 and 16 by testing the superiority. * To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in SANDE scores at Week 8, 12 and 16 by testing the superiority. * To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in worsening in symptom scores (SANDE) and/or NEI score at Week 4 by testing the superiority. * To compare the efficacy of cenegermin vs vehicle in impact of dry eye on everyday life (IDEEL) questionnaire at Week 4, 8, 12 and 16 by testing the superiority.

Primary Outcome

The Schirmer test type I (without anaesthesia) was performed to measure aqueous tear secretion. The rounded bend end of a sterile strip was inserted into the lower conjunctival sac over the temporal one-third of the lower eyelid margin. After 5 minutes had elapsed, the Schirmer's test strip was removed and the length of the tear absorption on the strip was measured (millimeters/5 minutes). The longer the wetted length, the healthier the status of the eye.
