Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Corneal Fluorescein Staining (CFS) Total (National Eye Institute (NEI) Grading)

    The primary efficacy variable was comparison of absolute and change from baseline between treatments for total Corneal Fluorescein Staining (tCFS) according to the National Eye Institute grading (NEI Scale) at week 8 The NEI Scale is a standardized grading system. 0-3 is used for each of the five areas on each cornea. Grade 0 will be specified when no staining is present. The maximum total score for each eye is 15. Higher values describe greater staining and corneal damage.
