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

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryComplete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells at Day 8Visit 5 (Day 8) maintained through Visit 6 (Day 15)
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. = 1 - 5 cells 2. = 6 - 15 cells 3. = 16 - 30 cells 4. = greater than 30 cells
PrimaryComplete Resolution of Ocular Pain at Day 8Visit 5 (Day 8) maintained through Visit 6 (Day 15)
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 1. = Minimal 2. = Mild 3. = Moderate 4. = Moderately Severe 5. = Severe
SecondaryComplete Resolution of Ocular Pain at Day 4Visit 4 (Day 4) maintained through Visit 6 (Day 15)
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 1. = Minimal 2. = Mild 3. = Moderate 4. = Moderately Severe 5. = Severe
SecondaryComplete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Flare at Day 4Visit 4 (Day 4) maintained through Visit 6 (Day 15)
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 1. = Mild (trace to clearly noticeable, visible) 2. = Moderate (without plastic aqueous humor) 3. = Marked (with plastic aqueous humor) 4. = Severe (with fibrin deposits and/or clots)
SecondaryChange From Baseline (BL) Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells at Day 4Visit 1 (Baseline) and Visit 4 (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. = 1 - 5 cells 2. = 6 - 15 cells 3. = 16 - 30 cells 4. = greater than 30 cells
