Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of BRM421 Ophthalmic Solution to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.
Detailed Description
This is a multi-center, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled, phase 2 study in approximately 150 subjects. (75 per treatment arm).
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria

- •Have a history of use of eye drops
Exclusion Criteria
- •Have any clinically significant slit lamp findings at Visit 1 that may include active blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), lid margin inflammation or active ocular allergies that require therapeutic treatment, and/or in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with study parameters;

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Symptom: Ocular discomfort score
Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks
Sign: Corneal fluorescein staining score
Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks
Sign: Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score
Time Frame: change from baseline to week 4
The staining was graded with the Ora Calibra® Corneal and Conjunctival Staining Scale. The ocular surface was divided into three regions, including superior, central and inferior region. The following scale was used to grade staining of the each region. Half (0.5) grade increments may be used. The total score of corneal fluorescein staining was calculated as the sum of three regions, the score range is 0 (minimum) to 12 (maximum). None 0 = no staining Trace 1 = occasional Mild 2 = countable Moderate 3 = uncountable, but not confluent Severe 4 = confluent
Symptom: Ocular Discomfort Score
Time Frame: change from baseline to week 4
Ocular discomfort scores was subjectively graded by the subjects according to the following Ora Calibra® Ocular Discomfort Scale, rating each eye separately, the score range is 0 (minimum) to 4 (maximum). 0 = no discomfort 1. = intermittent awareness 2. = constant awareness 3. = intermittent discomfort 4. = constant discomfort
Secondary Outcomes
- Conjunctival Redness(Up to 4 weeks)
- Tear film break-up time(Up to 4 weeks)
- Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)©(Up to 4 weeks)
- Tear Film Break-up Time(change from baseline to week 4)
- Conjunctival Redness(change from baseline to week 4)
- Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)©(change from baseline to week 4)
