Participant Flow

This was a two phase (IIB/III) integrated study. Phase IIb was conducted at 31 sites and Phase III at 28 sites in the United States. The first participant was enrolled in phase IIb on 10/30/2009, and last participant exited the study on 04/09/2010. Phase III enrolled its first participant on 04/05/2010 and last participant exited on 10/13/2010.

A total of 474 participants were enrolled in the integrated study in the intent to treat(ITT) population. 276 participants had culture confirmed bacterial conjunctivitis and were assigned to the modified intent to treat(mITT) population. 464 participants were assigned to the safety population. 446 participants completed the study.
