Registered outcomes6

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells8 days
White blood cell accumulation in anterior aqueous humor was assessed by the Investigator during slit lamp examination and graded on a 5-point scale: Grade 0 = no cells seen; Grade 1 = 1 to 5 cells; Grade 2 = 6 to 15 cells; Grade 3 = 16 to 30 cells; Grade 4 = \> 30 cells. Lower score indicated better outcome. Complete resolution of AC cells was defined as cell score = 0 in the study eye.
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Grade 0 Pain in the Study Eye.8 days
Ocular pain, defined as a positive sensation of the eye, including foreign body sensation, stabbing, throbbing, or aching, was assessed and graded by subjects on the 6-point scale, with 0=None and 5=Severe.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells by Visit18 days
White blood cell accumulation in anterior aqueous humor was assessed by the Investigator during slit lamp examination and graded on a 5-point scale: Grade 0 = no cells seen; Grade 1 = 1 to 5 cells; Grade 2 = 6 to 15 cells; Grade 3 = 16 to 30 cells; Grade 4 = \> 30 cells. Lower score indicated better outcome. Complete resolution of AC cells was defined as cell score = 0 in the study eye.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Grade 0 Pain in the Study Eye by Visit.18 days
White blood cell accumulation in anterior aqueous humor was assessed by the Investigator during slit lamp examination and graded on a 5-point scale: Grade 0 = no cells seen; Grade 1 = 1 to 5 cells; Grade 2 = 6 to 15 cells; Grade 3 = 16 to 30 cells; Grade 4 = \> 30 cells. Lower score indicated better outcome. Complete resolution of AC cells was defined as cell score = 0 in the study eye.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Flare in the Study Eye by Visit.18 days
Flare was evaluated by the Investigator by assessing the scattering of a slit lamp light beam directed into the anterior chamber (Tyndall effect). Flare was graded on the 5-point scale, with 0=None (best) and 4=Very Severe (worst). Complete resolution of AC flare was defined as Grade 0.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells and AC Flare in the Study Eye by Visit.18 days
White blood cell accumulation in anterior aqueous humor was assessed by the Investigator during slit lamp examination and graded on a 5-point scale: Grade 0 = no cells seen; Grade 1 = 1 to 5 cells; Grade 2 = 6 to 15 cells; Grade 3 = 16 to 30 cells; Grade 4 = \> 30 cells. Lower score indicated better outcome. Complete resolution of AC cells was defined as cell score = 0 in the study eye. Flare was evaluated by the Investigator by assessing the scattering of a slit lamp light beam directed into the anterior chamber (Tyndall effect). Flare was graded on the 5-point scale, with 0=None (best) and 4=Very Severe (worst).
