Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate two investigational ophthalmic solutions for reduction in ocular redness in subjects with allergic conjunctivitis.

Detailed Description

• Able and willing to comply with study protocol and follow protocol instructions.
• Able to avoid any of the topical ocular or systemic excluded medications during the entire study period.
• At least 1 year subject-reported or physician-diagnosed history (prior to Screen Visit) of allergic conjunctivitis during the ragweed season.
• Positive skin prick test for short ragweed allergen within 12 months prior to Screen Visit.
• Significant staff-assessed ocular redness in at least one region in each eye within the 3 hour period of allergen exposure in the EEC (Screen Visits).

Exclusion Criteria

• Women of childbearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for at least 1 week following the last dose of investigational product.
• Presence of any ocular infection, history of ocular Herpes (simplex or zoster) or adenoviral infection in either eye.
• History of any ocular infection, physician or subject diagnosed, within 30 days prior to Screen Visit.
• Presence of glaucoma, past history of, or diagnosis of glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
• Presence of blepharitis, active rosacea affecting the ocular adnexa, meibomian gland dysfunction, follicular conjunctivitis, intraocular inflammation, or preauricular lymphadenopathy or any other ophthalmic abnormality that may affect the study outcomes.
• Corneal conditions affecting the corneal structure.
• Unwilling to discontinue contact lens wear during the study period.
• Any ocular surgery including ocular laser procedures within 1 year prior to Screen Visit.
• Current or recent (<6 months prior to Screen Visit) history of severe, unstable, or uncontrolled autoimmune, neurological, cardiovascular, hematological, hepatic, renal, psychological, respiratory, gastrointestinal and/or immunological disease or evidence of other diseases based upon a review of medical history and/or physical examination that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude safe subject participation in the study.
