*Study design: Two double-masked, randomized. placebo-controlled conjunctival allergen challenge (CAC) clinical studies in which patients were assigned to BEPREVE® (1.5%) or placebo. Analysis used the CAC model of allergic conjunctivitis, where severe response in ocular itching is defined as grade >3 at baseline (with a maximum score of grade 4). The primary efficacy variable was patient-evaluated ocular itching at 3, 5, and 7 minutes post challenge. Dose applied 15 minutes prior to challenge.2-5
†The data presented are derived from a subanalysis of the entire study population.2
