Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Global Ocular Discomfort Score, Area Under the Curve, Day 0 to Day 28
An electronic Visual Analog Scale (eVAS) was used by the subject to assess ocular discomfort, both frequency and severity, at Day 0 (pre-treatment) and daily thereafter for 28 days. Assessments were entered into a LogPad® (handheld electronic device). The VAS frequency score ranged from 0 (rarely) to 100 (all the time), and the VAS severity score ranged from 0 (very mildly uncomfortable) to 100 (very severely uncomfortable). The Global Ocular Discomfort Score is a composite of the frequency and severity VAS scores (0-100).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ESBA105 over vehicle in reducing the ocular symptoms of dry eye disease, as measured by a mean global Visual Analog Scale (VAS) discomfort score.
Detailed Description
Following Run-In, patients qualifying for treatment were randomized 2:1 to receive ESBA105 (experimental group) or Vehicle (control group) for 4 weeks. Patients not qualifying for treatment (based on global VAS discomfort score), were discontinued from the study.
