Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of Participants With Clinical Resolution Among Who Received SCH1 or Placebo on Day 5 [Day 5]
Clinical resolution was defined as absence (score=0) of bulbar conjunctival injection and ocular conjunctival discharge in the study eye. Bulbar conjunctival injection was assessed based on 0 (Normal conjunctival vascular pattern) - 3 (Markedly prominent, intense diffuse hyperemia) scale which used pictures from validated bulbar redness (VBR) scale. Ocular conjunctival discharge was assessed based on 0 (No evidence of discharge in conjunctiva) - 3 (Abundant quantity of mucopurulent or purulent discharge) scale. The study eye was defined as an eye with score of at least 1 for both ocular conjunctival discharge and bulbar conjunctival redness at baseline. Data analysis was performed in SCH1 and placebo reporting groups.
