Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean change from the baseline (before the treatment) in total score for objective clinical signs at the final observation [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean change from the baseline in score for objective clinical signs and the score for each objective clinical sign [ Time Frame: Week 1, 2 and 4 ]
  • Subjective symptom score (Visual Analog Scale) [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental
FK506 ophthalmic suspension
Drug: FK506
Opthalmic suspension
2: Placebo Comparator
Base of eye drops
Drug: placebo
placebo eye drops

Detailed Description:

0.1% FK506 ophthalmic suspension were administered twice-a-day to patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis in whom treatment with topical anti-allergic agents had been ineffective. The primary efficacy endpoint was the mean change from the baseline (before the treatment)in total score for objective clinical signs at the final observation. The safety of FK506 ophthalmic suspension was also investigated.
