Trial Outcomes

Mean Hyperemia Score Compared to Olopatadine Period2

"A conjunctivitis allergic challenge (CAC) was performed 4 hours after drop instillation. Mean palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva hyperemia was assessed by the investigator at 5, 10, and 20 min post challenge and graded on a 4 points scale of 0-3 (0=none and 3= extremely severe). Total hyperemia score is defined as the sum of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva scores.~The endpoint used the average score of three time points (5, 10, and 20 minutes) after allergen challenge ."
