Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Fluorescein Corneal Staining (FCS) Score From BaselineBaseline, Week 4

FCS indicates the damage to the corneal epithelium. Per the National Eye Institute/Industry Workshop report, the cornea was divided into 5 fractions, each of which was given a staining score from 0 to 3, and the total score was calculated (0-15). 0 is better.

Changes of the FCS score from baseline to the last dose (last observation carried forward \[LOCF\]) were compared between 2% OPC-12759 ophthalmic solution and placebo by the t-test.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Lissamine Green Conjunctival Staining (LGCS) Score From BaselineBaseline, Week 4

LGCS indicates the damage to the conjunctival epithelium. Per the National Eye Institute/Industry Workshop report, the conjunctiva was divided into 6 fractions, each of which was given a staining score from 0 to 3, and the total score was calculated (0-18). 0 is better.

The scores and change from baseline at each examination (including LOCF) were compared between 2% OPC-12759 ophthalmic solution and placebo ophthalmic solution.
