Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Patients With an Anterior Cell Grade of 0 (no Cells) at Day 15 ± 2 Days
Day 15 ± 2 days

Anterior cell grade was assessed by the Investigator during slit lamp or ophthalmoscopy/light examination and graded on a 5-point scale: Grade 0=0 cells; Grade 1=1 to 10 cells; Grade 2=11 to 20 cells; Grade 3=21 to 50 cells; Grade 4=\>50 cells. The presence of blood cells (red and white) in the anterior chamber of the eye (the fluid-filled space inside the eye between the iris and the cornea's innermost surface) is a sign of intraocular inflammation. A score of 0 indicates an absence of inflammation.
