Study Summary

This will be a vehicle-controlled, masked, randomized study conducted at a single site in the United States. All participants enrolled will have Dry Eye Disease (DED). The study will consist of 2 Visits. At Visit 1, eligibility will be assessed at Screening. All eligible subjects will then be enrolled and randomized to one of two treatment groups (1:1): active (0.003% AR-15512) or control (AR-15512 vehicle). Subjects in each treatment group will then be randomized 1:1 to which Visit (Visit 1 or 2) anesthetic will be used with the Schirmer test.

Primary Outcome

Proportion of subjects ≥ 10 mm increase in unanesthetized Schirmer score Schirmer strips placed, without anesthesia, in both eyes measure the amount of tear wetting over a 5 minute period, measured in whole millimeters to a maximum score of 35 mm. An ≥ 10 mm score indicates a better outcome.
