A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Masked, Vehicle and Active-Controlled, Safety and Efficacy Study of AL-53817 and AL-78843 Ophthalmic Solutions for the Treatment of Allergic Conjunctivitis in an Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC) Model
The purpose of this study is to evaluate two investigational ophthalmic solutions for
reduction in ocular redness in subjects with allergic conjunctivitis. Eligible subjects will
attend 8 study visits, 5 of which include a 3-hour period of ragweed exposure in an
Environmental Exposure Chamber. At the sixth visit, subjects will receive study product and
begin dosing for up to 9 days. The final visit will be the final day of dosing.
Participation in this study will last up to 68 days.
