About this study

Subjects who met the enrollment criteria were randomized in a 2:1 manner to receive treatment with FID 119515A or Blink® Tears respectively for this 1-day, single-dose study.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Sign Informed Consent.
  • Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 55 or greater in each eye as measured by an ETDRS chart (letters read method).
  • At least a 3 month documented history of dry eye in both eyes.
  • TBUT and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Questionnaire score as specified in protocol.
  • Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Any evidence of ocular infection or inflammation within 30 days prior to Screening.
  • Any ocular surgery.
  • Ocular trauma requiring medical or pharmacological treatment within 1 year of Screening.

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Tear Break-up Time (TBUT) at 60 Minutes

    Time frame: Baseline, 60 minutes

    Fluorescein dye was instilled in the eye to assess tear break-up time. After instillation of the fluorescein, the subject was instructed to blink 3 times, then stare and not blink. The investigator measured the time from the last blink until the first black (dry) spot appeared in the precorneal tear film. Tear break-up time was assessed prior to test article instillation (baseline) and at 60 minutes. Three consecutive measurements were taken per eye at each time point, with the average of the 3 scores being the value analyzed. An increase in total score equates to improvement. One eye was chosen as the study eye and only data for the study eye were used.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Area Under Curve (AUC) of TBUT From 0 to 60 Minutes

    Time frame: 0 to 60 minutes

    Fluorescein dye was instilled in the eye to assess tear break-up time. After instillation of the fluorescein, the subject was instructed to blink 3 times, then stare and not blink. The investigator measured the time from the last blink until the first black (dry) spot appeared in the precorneal tear film. Tear break-up time was assessed prior to test article instillation (baseline) and at 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes. Three consecutive measurements were taken per eye at each time point, with the average of the 3 scores being the value analyzed. An increase in total score equates to improvement. One eye was chosen as the study eye and only data for the study eye were used.
