Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The change in proportion of subjects demonstrating improved tear film osmolarity	Improved tear film osmolarity will be defined as an osmolarity reading of less than or equal to 308 mOsm/L or an inter-eye difference osmolarity reading of less than or equal to 8 mOsm/L.	Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4
Secondary	The proportion of subjects demonstrating normal Matrix Metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9).	Normal MMP9 is determined by 2 blinded investigators who each independently read the test result as negative and who are in agreement.	Week 4
Secondary	The proportion of subjects demonstrating normal Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT).	Greater than 10 seconds is normal, 5 to 10 seconds is marginal, and less than 5 seconds is low.	Week 4
Secondary	The proportion of subjects demonstrating normal corneal fluorescein staining.	Corneal staining will be assessed using the National Eye Institute Scale for corneal staining.	Week 4
Secondary	The proportion of subjects demonstrating improvement in their symptoms as measured by the modified SANDE Questionnaire.	A modified SANDE Questionnaire uses a visual analogue scale at the Baseline Visit to measure the frequency and severity of subject's dry eyes symptoms. Subsequent visit Questionnaires will use a visual analogue scale to measure the change in symptoms compare to the results of the prior visit.	Week 4
