A Prospective, Randomized, Placebo and Active Comparator Controlled Study of CP-690,550 in Subjects With Dry Eye.

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Systemic AEs are the events which are not localized but occur throughout the systemic circulation.

Ocular tolerability assessment included evaluation of severity and duration of the 5 symptoms: burning/stinging, blurred vision, ocular discomfort, pain, tearing. Severity was assessed on a 4-point scale, where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe. Duration was assessed as immediate (if subsided within 5 minutes [<5 min] after application) or persistent (if continued beyond 5 minutes [>=5 min] after application).

Schirmer test without anesthesia: well standardized test used to estimate tear flow stimulated reflexly by insertion of a filter paper strip into the conjunctival sac for 5 min. The length of wetting was recorded to the nearest 0.5 millimeter (mm). If the wetting line was oblique, halfway point was used. Results from study eye are reported. Study eye is the 'worse eye', defined as the eye with worse Schirmer test score without anesthesia score at baseline.

Corneal staining was assessed by instilling sodium fluorescein dye in the eye and after 1 to 2 minutes, observing for corneal staining with the aid of a yellow filter and slit lamp. The cornea was divided into five different zones and each corneal zone was graded independently using a 0 to 3 grading scale; where 0=none, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=severe. Results from study eye were to be reported. Study eye is the 'worse eye', defined as the eye with worse Schirmer test score without anesthesia score at baseline.

OCI: validated questionnaire to measure the frequency and intensity of 6 common dry eye symptoms: dryness, grittiness, stinging, eye tiredness, pain, and itching. It contained 12 questions, each measured on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (never) to 6 (always/severe). Total score was transformed to range of 0 to 100, higher score indicated more ocular discomfort. Negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

Schirmer test was performed 2 to 3 minutes after 1 drop of proparacaine 0.5% was placed in lower conjunctival fornix and superior bulbar conjunctiva of each eye. It was used to estimate tear flow stimulated reflexly by insertion of a filter paper strip into the conjunctival sac for 5 min. The length of wetting was recorded to the nearest 0.5 mm. If the wetting line was oblique, halfway point was used. Results from study eye are reported.

Corneal staining was assessed using fluorescein dye, a yellow filter, and a slit lamp. The cornea was divided into 5 different zones. Each corneal zone was graded independently using a 0 to 3 grading scale; where 0=none, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=severe. Sum of scores of each zone led to total score. Total score range: 0 to 15, higher score indicated greater staining. Results from study eye are reported.

Each corneal zone was graded independently using 0 to 3 grading scale:0=none, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=severe. Sum of scores of each zone led to total score. Total score range: 0 to 15, higher score indicated greater staining. Results from study eye are reported. Study eye is the 'worse eye', defined as the eye with worse Schirmer test score without anesthesia score at baseline.

Interpalpebral conjunctival staining was performed 1 minute following ocular administration of lissamine green dye with aid of slit lamp. Based on Oxford grading system, bulbar conjunctiva was divided into 2 zones: nasal, temporal. Staining were graded using a 6-point scale (0=absent, 5=severe). Total score=sum of 2 zone scores. Total score range: 0 to 10, higher score=higher damage to eyes due to dryness. Negative change from baseline indicated improvement. Results from study eye are reported. Study eye is the eye with worse Schirmer test score without anesthesia score at baseline.

TBUT was the time interval between the last complete blink and the first appearance of a dry spot, or disruption in the tear film. It was measured under a slit lamp following instillation of fluorescein dye in the eye using a stopwatch. Results from study eye are reported. Study eye is the 'worse eye', defined as the eye with worse Schirmer test score without anesthesia score at baseline.

OCI: validated questionnaire to measure the frequency and intensity of 6 common dry eye symptoms: dryness, grittiness, stinging, eye tiredness, pain, and itching.

Total score was transformed to range of 0 to 100, higher score indicated more ocular discomfort. Negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

Daily artificial tear use was assessed by collecting data on daily number of drops of artificial tear instilled in the eye using a participant diary. Decrease in daily artificial tear use indicated improvement.

OSDI is a validated instrument for ocular surface disease. It has 12 items, each measured on 5-point Likert scale (0=none of the time, 4=all the time). Based on these item scores, a total OSDI score (question 1 [Q1]-Q12) and three subscale scores can be derived: Ocular Symptom (Q1-Q3), Vision-related function (Q4-Q9), and Environmental trigger (Q10-Q12). Each derived score ranges from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicates worse condition.

OSDI is a validated instrument for ocular surface disease. It has 12 items, each has a raw score measured on 5-point Likert scale (0=none of the time, 4=all the time). Based on these item scores, a total OSDI score can be derived which ranges from 0 to 100; a higher score indicates worse ocular disease.

mOCI consisted of the original 12-item OCI plus additional questions on other dry eye symptoms and their impact to participant's life. Each item was measured on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (never) to 6 (always/severe). Negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

NEI-VFQ-25 questionnaire included 25 items based on which overall composite VFQ score and 12 subscales were derived: general health (GH), general vision (GV), ocular pain (OP), near activities (NAct), distance activities (DA), social functioning (SF), mental health (MH), role difficulties (RD), dependency, driving, color vision (CV) and peripheral vision (PV). Response to each question converted to 0-100 score. Each subscale, total score=average of items contributing to score. For each subscale and total score, score range: 0 to 100, higher score=less symptoms/better visual functioning.
