Number of Responders at Day 15Primary· Baseline (Day 1), Day 15
Response was defined as a two-step decrease or more from baseline in Anterior Chamber (AC) Cell Grade as per Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN). Baseline was defined as the measurement taken before drug administration on Day 1. Subjects receiving rescue treatment on or before Day 15 were considered non-responders. Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Mean Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at Each VisitPrimary· Baseline (Day 1), Day 4, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29
Visual Acuity (VA) with the subject's best spectacles or other visual corrective devices was measured using an Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) or Snellen visual acuity chart and reported in letters read correctly. An increase (gain) in letters read indicates improvement. Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Mean Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at Each VisitPrimary· Baseline (Day 1), Day 4, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29
IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using Goldmann applanation tonometry or Tonopen and reported in millimeters mercury (mmHg). A higher IOP can be a greater risk factor for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage). Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Number of Subjects With Increase From Baseline in Slit Lamp Parameters at Any Post-Treatment VisitPrimary· Baseline (Day 1), Day 4, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29
Slit-lamp biomicroscopy (examination) was performed to evaluate the anterior segment of the eye, including lids/lashes, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber (cells and flare), iris, and lens. Ocular signs were categorized as Aqueous Flare, Aqueous Inflammatory Cell Grade, Keratic Precipitates, Lens, Limbal Injection, Status of Lens, Peripheral Anterior Synechia, and Posterior Synechia. An increase indicates worsening. Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Mean Change From Baseline in BCVA at Each VisitSecondary· Baseline (Day 1), Day 4, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29
Visual Acuity (VA) was measured with the participant's best spectacles or other visual corrective device in place using an ETDRS or Snellen visual acuity chart. Improvement of BCVA was defined as an increase (gain) in letters read from the baseline assessment. Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Time-to-Response was defined as the number of days from baseline to the first scheduled visit when a two-step decrease or more from baseline in AC Cell Grade (as per SUN) was observed. Time-to-Response is reported as number of subjects presenting time-to-response by visit. Only one eye contributed to the analysis.

Serum samples were collected and assessed for anti-LME636 antibodies. Samples collected from subjects in the LME636 dose group were analyzed for anti-LME636 antibodies. For subjects in the dexamethasone group, only the samples collected on Day 1 (ie, prior to the start of treatment) were analyzed for anti-LME636 antibodies.

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov
Time frame: Adverse events (AEs) were collected from time of consent for the duration of a subject's participation in the study (up to 35 days). AEs are reported as pretreatment, treatment-emergent, and posttreatment..
Reporting threshold: 5%.
Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether topical ocular administration of LME636 60 mg/mL is efficacious in resolving the ocular inflammation in the anterior chamber (AC) associated with acute anterior uveitis (AAU).
