Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline at Week 12 in Ocular Pain Severity Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Baseline, Week 12

The pain severity Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was completed by the subject using an electronic diary. A vertical mark was placed on the horizontal scoring line (anchored with 'No Pain' on the left and 'Very Severe' pain on the right) to score the severity of ocular pain over the past 24 hours, with a range from 0 (min) to 100 (max). Higher scores indicate higher pain severity. A negative change from baseline is a positive outcome.

Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pre-dose Pain Assessment
6 hours

VAS pain severity scale pre-dose, 6 hours post-operatively. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a commonly used measurement of pain, discomfort, that goes from 0 meaning no pain to 100 meaning worst imaginable pain

Average Ocular Pain VAS Assessments
12 hours

VAS pain severity scale from the first post-operative assessment to pre-dose 12 hours post-operative assesment The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a commonly used measurement of pain, discomfort, that goes from 0 meaning no pain to 100 meaning worst imaginable pain
