Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells at Day 8
Number and percentage of subjects with complete resolution of AC cells in the surgical eye (study eye) at Day 8 maintained through Day 15, without receiving rescue medication prior to Day 15, for KPI-121 1% dosed twice daily (BID) compared with vehicle dosed BID.
Investigators were asked to grade AC cell based on the following scale wherein higher scores indicate a higher degree of cells present and a decrease across time indicates the condition is getting better.
Anterior Chamber Cells 0 = No cells seen
= 1 - 5 cells
= 6 - 15 cells
= 16 - 30 cells
= greater than 30 cells
Complete Resolution of Ocular Pain at Day 8
Number and percentage of subjects with complete resolution of ocular pain in the surgical eye (study eye) at Day 8 maintained through Day 15, without receiving rescue medication prior to Day 15, for KPI-121 1% dosed twice daily (BID) compared with vehicle dosed BID.
Subjects were given the Subject-Rated Ocular Pain Assessment to subjectively rate their pain at Days 1, 4, 8, 15, and the follow-up visit between Days 17 and 19. Higher scores were worse outcomes.
The following scoring scale was used for ocular pain:
0 = None
= Minimal
= Mild
= Moderate
= Moderately Severe
= Severe
Secondary Outcome Measures
Complete Resolution of Ocular Pain at Day 4
Number and percentage of subjects with complete resolution of ocular pain in the surgical eye (study eye) at Day 4 maintained through Day 15, without receiving rescue medication prior to Day 15, for KPI-121 1% dosed twice daily (BID) compared with vehicle dosed BID.
Subjects were given the Subject-Rated Ocular Pain Assessment to subjectively rate their pain at Days 1, 4, 8, 15, and the follow-up visit between Days 17 and 19. Higher scores were worse outcomes.
The following scoring scale was used for ocular pain:
0 = None
= Minimal
= Mild
= Moderate
= Moderately Severe
= Severe
Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Flare at Day 4
Number and percentage of subjects with complete resolution of AC flare in the surgical eye (study eye) at Day 4 maintained through Day 15, without receiving rescue medication prior to Day 15, for KPI-121 1% dosed twice daily (BID) compared with vehicle dosed BID.
Investigators were asked to grade AC flare based on the following scale wherein higher scores indicate a higher degree of flare present and a decrease across time indicates the condition is getting better.
Anterior Chamber Flare 0 = None
= Mild (trace to clearly noticeable, visible)
= Moderate (without plastic aqueous humor)
= Marked (with plastic aqueous humor)
= Severe (with fibrin deposits and/or clots)
Change From Baseline (BL) Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells at Day 4
The difference in mean changes from BL in AC cell count grade at Day 4 for KPI-121 1% dosed twice daily (BID) compared with vehicle dosed BID.
Investigators were asked to grade AC cell based on the following scale wherein higher scores indicate a higher degree of cells present and a decrease across time indicates the condition is getting better.
Anterior Chamber Cells 0 = No cells seen
= 1 - 5 cells

= 16 - 30 cells
