Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Inferior Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score

After 84 days of treatment, the mean change from baseline in the Inferior Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score (ICSS,0-4) in the treatment group was compared with that in the placebo group. A higher corneal fluorescein staining score indicates a worse condition

Time frame
After 84 days of treatment
2

Eye Dryness Score

After 84 days of treatment, the mean change from baseline in the Eye Dryness Score (EDS, 0-100 \[VAS, Visual Analog Scale\]) in the treatment group was compared with that in the placebo group.A higher Eye Dryness Score indicates a worse condition.
