Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events
Time Frame: 5 Months
An adverse event was any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug.
Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Improvement From Baseline in the Global Eyebrow Assessment (GEA) Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 4
The physician evaluated the overall eyelash prominence in both eyes using the GEA 4-point scale: 1= minimal, 2= moderate, 3= marked and 4= very marked. A 1-grade improvement in the GEA score from Baseline indicated improvement.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline Upper Eyelash Length as Measured by Digital Image Analysis (DIA)(Baseline, Month 4)
- Change From Baseline in Upper Eyelash Thickness as Measured by DIA(Baseline, Month 4)
- Change From Baseline in Upper Eyelash Darkness as Measured by DIA(Baseline, Month 4)
