    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Bulbar Conjunctival Hyperemia at Visit 4 (Day 15) [Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)]

      Comparison of mean bulbar conjunctival hyperemia between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-4 grading scale. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

    2. Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Ocular Discomfort Severity at Visit 4 (Day 15) [Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)]

      Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity 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.

    3. Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score at Visit 4 (Day 15) [Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)]

      Comparison of mean corneal fluorescein staining between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using methods developed by the National Eye Institute (NEI) Dry Eye Workshop in evaluating 5 regions of the cornea (superior, inferior, nasal, temporal and central) using a 0-3 grading scale, where 0 = no visible staining, 1 = Mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe.

    4. Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) Ocular Discomfort Severity at Visit 4 (Day 15) in the Subgroup of Participants With More Severe Ocular Discomfort [Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)]

      Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity 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, in a sub-group of participants with more severe ocular discomfort at baseline.

    2. Proportion of Subjects With ≥1 Improvement in Conjunctival Hyperemia at Visit 4 (Day 15) [Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)]

      Proportion of subjects with ≥1 improvement from baseline in conjunctival hyperemia scores. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

    3. Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) Conjunctival Hyperemia Scores at Visit 4 (Day 15) for the Mean of All Regions (Nasal, Temporal, Frontal) [Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 4 (Day 15)]

      Comparison of mean bulbar conjunctival hyperemia between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-4 grading scale. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

    4. Change in Ocular Discomfort Severity Scores Prior to Visit 3 (Day 8) Minus the Mean of the Scores to Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) [Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) and to Visit 3 (Day 8)]
