Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Ocular Discomfort
Comparison of change from baseline in ocular discomfort between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse at Visit 4 (Day 15).
Change From Baseline in Posterior Lid Margin Hyperemia in the Subgroup of Subjects With Greater Hyperemia at Baseline
Comparison of change from baseline in posterior lid margin hyperemia between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group in subjects with greater baseline hyperemia at Visit 4 (Day 15). The scale for posterior lid margin hyperemia was scored on a range from 0-4 with the following description: 0=normal mild moderate severe very severe

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Ocular Discomfort
Comparison of change from baseline in ocular discomfort between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse at Visit 6 (Day 29).
Change From Baseline in Posterior Lid Margin Hyperemia in the Subgroup of Subjects With Greater Hyperemia at Baseline
Comparison of change from baseline in posterior lid margin hyperemia between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group in the subgroup of subjects with greater hyperemia at baseline at Visit 6 (Day 29). The scale for posterior lid margin hyperemia was scored on a range from 0-4 with the following description: 0=normal mild moderate severe very severe

Other Intervention Name(s)
KPI-121 0.25% Ophthalmic Suspension, Loteprednol etabonate
Intervention Description
KPI-121 drug product will be supplied in 0.25% strength as a suspension in opaque dropper bottles. KPI-121 drug product is a sterile, aqueous, submicron suspension of loteprednol etabonate. Subjects randomized to placebo control arm will receive the same bottles containing all components at the concentrations used in the KPI-121 drug product with the exception of the active component, loteprednol etabonate.

Intervention Name(s)
Vehicle
Other Intervention Name(s)
KPI-121 0.25% Vehicle, Placebo
Intervention Description
The vehicle control has the same composition as KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension except it does not contain loteprednol etabonate. The vehicle is essentially isotonic and is buffered to maintain pH 5.0 - 7.0. It is a sterile, aqueous solution supplied in the same white, low-density polyethylene plastic dropper bottle with the same white, controlled-drop polyethylene tip and white polypropylene closure as KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension.
