The purpose of this study is to evaluate an ophthalmic solution for the treatment of ocular
itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis using the Conjunctival Allergen Challenge
(CAC) model.
Enrolled participants will be tested for the presence of common allergies using the
Conjunctival Allergen Challenge (CAC) model. Drops of increasing concentration of a
solubilized allergen will be instilled in both eyes until a positive reaction occurs. The
test will be repeated to confirm the allergic reaction. Participants with confirmed
reactions will be administered the test article (Day 0) and undergo a CAC 24 hours
post-instillation (Day 1). On Day 14, participants will be administered the test article and
undergo an additional CAC.
