Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this phase 2 study is to determine if difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion is effective in the treatment of postoperative inflammation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective is to assess efficacy endpoints in comparison with 0.1% BM ophthalmic solution, prior to investigation of the efficacy and safety of 0.05% DFBA ophthalmic emulsion in the treatment of postoperative intraocular inflammation.
