    Arm 2

    Arm Type

    Experimental

    Active Comparator

    Arm Label

    Olopatadine (right or left, randomized)

    Epinastine (fellow eye)

    Arm Description

    Olopatadine HCl ophthalmic solution, 0.1%, 1 drop in the right or left eye as randomized

    Epinastine HCl ophthalmic solution, 0.05%, 1 drop in the in the fellow eye

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Mean Ocular Itching at 7 Minutes Post-CAC, Day 1
    A CAC (one drop of allergen solution to each eye) was performed 5 minutes after study medication instillation. Ocular itching was assessed by the patient for each eye at 7 (±1) minutes post-CAC and rated on a 0-4 scale (0=none, 4=incapacitating itch with irresistible urge to rub).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Mean Conjunctival Hyperemia at 20 Minutes Post-CAC, Day 1
    A CAC (one drop of allergen solution to each eye) was performed 5 minutes after study medication instillation. Conjunctival hyperemia (redness) was evaluated by the investigator based on biomicroscopy for each eye at 20 (±1) minutes post-CAC and rated on a 0-4 scale (0=none, 4=extremely severe).

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Olopatadine Hydrochloride (HCl) ophthalmic solution 0.1% versus Epinastine HCl ophthalmic solution, 0.05% in a population of healthy, adult Japanese patients (20 years of age or older) with a history of allergic conjunctivitis to Japanese Cedar Pollen. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive Olopatadine HCl ophthalmic solution, 0.1% in one eye and Epinastine HCl ophthalmic solution, 0.05% in the fellow eye, after which a conjunctival allergy challenge (CAC) with Japanese cedar pollen will be performed.
