| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change From Baseline (Day 0) in Anterior Chamber Cell Grade at Day 14 | Baseline (Day 0), Day 14 | Inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber were assessed by the investigator during slit lamp examination and graded on a 5-point scale, with 0 = ≤ 1 cell count; 1 = 2 to 10 cell count; 2 = 11 to 20 cell count; 3 = 21 to 50 cell count; and 4 = \> 50 cell count. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline (Day 0) in Anterior Chamber Cell Grade at All Time Points Other Than Day 14 | Baseline (Day 0), Day 3, Day 7, Day 21, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42 | Inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber were assessed by the investigator during slit lamp examination and graded on a 5-point scale, with 0 = ≤ 1 cell count; 1 = 2 to 10 cell count; 2 = 11 to 20 cell count; 3 = 21 to 50 cell count; and 4 = \> 50 cell count. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline (Day 0) in Anterior Chamber Flare Grade at All Time Points | Baseline (Day 0), Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42 | Anterior chamber flare (protein escaping from dialated vessels) was assessed by the investigator during slit lamp examination and graded on a 5-point scale, with 0 = none; 1 = mild (trace to clearly noticeable, visible); 2 = moderate; 3 = marked; and 4 = severe. |
| Secondary | Proportion of Subjects With Anterior Chamber Cell Grade of 0 | Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42 | Inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber were assessed by the investigator during slit lamp examination and graded on a 5-point scale, with 0 = ≤ 1 cell count; 1 = 2 to 10 cell count; 2 = 11 to 20 cell count; 3 = 21 to 50 cell count; and 4 = \> 50 cell count. Proportion is reported as percentage of subjects. |
| Secondary | Proportion of Subjects With Anterior Chamber Cell Count of 0 | Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42 | Inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber were assessed by the investigator during slit lamp examination and recorded based on actual cell count. Proportion is reported as a percentage of subjects. |
| Secondary | Proportion of Subjects With Anterior Chamber Cell Count ≤5 and Flare Grade of 0 | Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42 | Inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber were assessed by the investigator during slit lamp examination and recorded based on actual cell count. Anterior chamber flare (protein escaping from dialated vessels) was assessed by the investigator during slit lamp examination and graded on a 5-point scale, with 0 = none; 1 = mild (trace to clearly noticeable, visible); 2 = moderate; 3 = marked; and 4 = severe. Proportion is reported as percentage of subjects. |
| Secondary | Proportion of Subjects With Anterior Chamber Cell Grade ≤1 | Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42 | As assessed by the investigator during slit lamp examination. Anterior chamber cell grade was graded on a 5-point scale, with 0 = no cells; 1 = 1 to 10 cells; 2 = 11 to 20 cells; 3 = 21 to 50 cells; and 4 = more than 50 cells. Proportion is reported as percentage of subjects. |
| Secondary | Proportion of Subjects Who Discontinued Due to Lack of Efficacy | Time to Event | Lack of efficacy was defined as those subjects who discontinued study participation either due to treatment failure or an adverse event with a preferred term of iridocyclitis, iritis, uveitis, or vitritis. Proportion is reported as percentage of subjects. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline (Day 0) in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Total Symptom Score at All Time Points | Baseline (Day 0), Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42 | The following symptoms were each graded by the subject according to a 0-100 visual analog scale (VAS) using a mark on a 100 mm line (0 = absent, 100 = maximal): eye pain, photophobia, blurred vision, and lacrimation. The total symptom score was calculated as the sum of the 4 individual symptom scores. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline (Day 0) in Slit-Lamp Total Sign Score at All Visits | Baseline (Day 0), Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 28, Day 35, Day 42 | The following signs were each graded on a 0 - 3 scale (0 = absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe): posterior synechia, hypopyon, limbal injection, and keratic precipitates. Peripheral synechia was graded by the combined number of clock hours affected (0 = absent; 1 = \< 3 hrs; 2 = 3-6 hours; 3 = \> 6 hours). The total sign score was calculated as the sum of the 5 individual sign scores, the anterior chamber cell grade and the anterior chamber flare grade. The minimum/best total sign score was 0, and the maximum/worst total sign score was 23. |
