Participant Flow

Participants were recruited at 35 clinical trial sites starting in June of 2014. The first participant was enrolled in July of 2014 and the last participant was enrolled in December of 2014.

Prior to enrollment, adult participants were to have a Screening Visit and 2 Qualification Visits to allow for washout of ocular hypotensive medication if needed. The Randomized Population includes all subjects who were randomized to treatment. Baseline variables and demographic characteristics were summarized for this population.
