Study Summary

This will be a Phase 3, multicenter, vehicle-controlled, double-masked, randomized study conducted at approximately 20 sites in the United States. All subjects enrolled will have dry eye disease (DED). The study will consist of Screening (Day -14) and Baseline (Day 1) visits as well as visits at Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, and Day 90 (Study Exit) for an individual duration of participation of approximately 15 weeks.

Primary Outcome

The Schirmer test measures tear production using a filter paper placed on the lower eyelid. The amount of wetting was recorded on a scale from 0 millimeters (mm) (no tear production) to 35 mm (maximum). The test was performed at Day 1 prior to drop exposure and at Day 14 following drop exposure. An increased score represents a positive outcome. One eye (study eye) contributed data to the analysis.
