Summary of Known and Potential Risks and Benefits to Human Subjects 
 
The administration of OC-01 0.6 mg/mL and 1.2 mg/mL (varenicline) Nasal Spray was safe, well 
tolerated, and efficacious as assessed in the ONSET-1 study. The study met the primary endpoint 
(Schirmer’s Test) for both the 0.6 mg/mL and 1.2 mg/mL dose groups. It also met the secondary 
symptom endpoints (EDS) for 0.6 mg/mL OC-01 (varenicline) Nasal Spray. There was not a 
statistically significant improvement in EDS in the normal environment at Day 28 for the 1.2 
mg/mL dose, although there was a numerical benefit as compared to placebo.  Because of the 
pre-specified hierarchical approach to multiplicity for the secondary outcomes, the EDS 
symptoms within the CAE® environment at Day 21 could not be formally tested; however, the 
data strongly suggest benefit on that outcome as well. Although the low dose of 0.12 mg/mL OC-
01 (varenicline) Nasal Spray demonstrated statistical significance in Schirmer’s Score in 
exploratory analyses, this dose did not yield statistically significant difference in the symptom 
endpoint in exploratory analyses as measured by EDS.   
Showing statistical significance in both signs and symptoms of DED in the same study population 
is a goal seldom before achieved in the treatment of the disease.  Importantly, after treatment with 
OC-01 (varenicline) Nasal Spray, improvements in EDS were seen as early as 5 minutes after 
administration in the CAE® in the 0.6 mg/mL and 1.2 mg/mL OC-01 (varenicline) Nasal Spray 
dose groups.  Exploratory analyses of fluorescein corneal staining indicate a benefit in subjects 
treated with OC-01 (varenicline) Nasal Spray compared to those subjects treated with placebo.   
 
OC-01 (varenicline) Nasal Spray was safe and well-tolerated at all concentrations assessed in the 
ONSET-1 clinical study.  Most TEAEs were mild to moderate in severity, with only 1 subject 
reporting a severe TEAE. 
 
The most common AE in all treatment groups was sneezing which was temporally related to the 
administration of the study drug and resolved within a short period of time after administration.  
Sneezing AEs were characterized as mild to moderate, with no severe AEs reported. 
 
All AEs that were suspected to be related to the study drug with the exception of AEs with each of 
the following terms; nasal dryness, nasal congestion and throat irritation were reported to be 
recovered/or resolved before study completion.  Eleven ocular TEAEs were reported, 7 of which 
were reported in the placebo group; all other AEs were classified as non-ocular. The Investigators 
considered 3 of the 7 ocular TEAEs (visual acuity reduced, conjunctival hemorrhage, and eyelid 
oedema) to be possibly related to study drug, all resolved, and none was categorized as severe. 
One treatment-emergent SAE (anemia) was reported and was considered to be unrelated to study 
drug. No treatment-related treatment-emergent SAEs were observed. No deaths occurred during 
the study. Visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, intranasal examination, and pupil diameter did 
not indicate clinically significant changes from baseline. These data from the ONSET-1 study 
suggest that 28 days of BID delivery of OC-01 (varenicline) Nasal Spray is safe and efficacious in 
subjects with DED.

8.1.3 Washout Intervals  
Prohibited medications, treatments, and activities are outlined in the Exclusion Criteria 
(Section 5.4).  
8.1.4 Procedures for Final Study Entry 
Subjects must meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria.  
8.1.5 Methods for Assignment to Treatment Groups 
Each subject who enters the screening period for the study (defined as the point at which the 
subject signs the informed consent form (ICF) receives a unique subject identification 
number before any study-related activities/procedures are performed.  This number will be 
used to identify the subject throughout the clinical study and must be used on all study 
documentation related to that subject.   
The subject identification number must remain constant throughout the entire clinical study.   
Subjects who meet the eligibility requirements will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment 
groups. 
The randomization will be stratified by three factors: 
x Pre-procedure (Baseline) anesthetized Schirmer’s score (<5, >5) measured the 
screening/randomization visit  
x Pre-procedure (Baseline) EDS (<60, >60) measured at the screening/randomization 
visit  
x Study site 
A central randomization list will be created using block randomization. Sites will be assigned 
entire blocks as needed. 
 
8.2 
Concomitant Therapies  
The use of any concurrent medication, prescription or over-the-counter, is to be recorded on 
the subject’s source document and corresponding eCRF along with the reason the medication 
was taken.  
Concurrent enrollment in another investigational drug or device study during the treatment 
period is not permitted.

SAFETY DEFINITIONS, SAFETY MONITORING AND REPORTING 
9.1 
Adverse Event 
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the 
use of a drug in humans, whether or not the event is considered drug-related.  An AE can 
therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., an abnormal laboratory finding), 
symptom, or disease occurring after the subject started dosing with the study drug, without 
any judgment about causality.  Any pre-existing medical condition that worsens after 
administration of the study drug will also be considered a new AE.   
Study drug includes the investigational drug under evaluation and placebo. 
AE collection will start following the first administration of study drug until the last follow 
up visit of the study.     
Documentation regarding the AE should be made as to the nature, date of onset, end date, 
severity, relationship to study drug, action(s) taken, seriousness, and outcome of any sign or 
symptom observed by the Investigator or reported by the subject upon indirect questioning. 
9.1.1 Severity 
Severity of an AE is defined as a qualitative assessment of the degree of intensity of an AE as 
determined by the investigator or reported to him/her by the patient/subject.  The assessment 
of severity is made irrespective of relationship to study drug or seriousness of the event and 
should be evaluated according to the following scale: 
x Mild:  
Event is noticeable to the subject but is easily tolerated and does not 
interfere with the subject’s daily activities. 
x Moderate: Event is bothersome, possibly requiring additional therapy, and may 
interfere with the subject’s daily activities. 
x Severe: 
Event is intolerable, necessitates additional therapy or alteration of 
therapy, and interferes with the subject’s daily activities. 
9.1.2 Relationship to Study Drug 
The relationship of each AE to the investigational product should be determined by the 
investigator (in a blinded manner) using these explanations: 
x Definite: When there are good reason and sufficient documentation to demonstrate a 
direct causal relationship between investigational product and AE 
DocuSign Envelope ID: F01AD6EA-5F19-4D78-B20A-26B5F08F3F5A

Sponsor: Oyster Point Pharma, Inc.  
Clinical Trial Protocol # OPP-101 
 
Amendment #1 
 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 29 of 55 
 
x Probable: When there are good reasons and sufficient documentation to assume a 
causal relationship in the sense of plausible, conceivable, likely but not 
necessarily highly probable 
x Possible: When there is sufficient information to accept the possibility of a causal 
relationship in the sense of not impossible and not unlikely, although the 
connection is uncertain or doubtful, for example; due to missing data or 
insufficient evidence. 
x None: 
When there is sufficient information to accept a lack of a causal 
relationship, in the sense of impossible and improbable. 
x Unclassified: When the causal relationship is not assessable for whatever reason due 
to insufficient evidence, conflicting data or poor documentation. 
9.1.3 Expectedness 
The expectedness of an AE should be determined based upon existing safety information 
about the study drug using these explanations: 
x Unexpected: An AE that is not listed in the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) or is not 
listed at the specificity or severity that has been observed. 
x Expected: An AE that is listed in the IB at the specificity and severity that has been 
observed. 
x Not Applicable: Any AE that is unrelated to the study drug. 
AEs that are mentioned in the IB as occurring with a class of drugs or as anticipated from the 
pharmacological properties of the drug but are not specifically mentioned as occurring with 
the particular drug under investigation are to be considered unexpected. 
The investigator should initially classify the expectedness of an AE, but the final 
classification is subject to the Medical Monitor’s determination. 
9.2 
Serious Adverse Events 
An AE is considered “serious” (SAE) if, in the view of either the investigator or Sponsor, it 
results in any of the following outcomes: 
x Death 
 
x A life-threatening AE 
Note: An AE is considered “life-threatening” if, in the view of either the investigator 
or Sponsor, its occurrence places the patient or subject at immediate risk of death.  It 
does not include an AE that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have 
caused death. 
x Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
DocuSign Envelope ID: F01AD6EA-5F19-4D78-B20A-26B5F08F3F5A

Clinical Trial Protocol # OPP-101 
 
Amendment #1 
 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 30 of 55 
 
Note: The term “inpatient hospitalization” refers to any inpatient admission (even if 
less than 24 hours).  For chronic or long-term inpatients, inpatient admission includes 
transfer within the hospital to an acute/intensive care inpatient unit.  Inpatient 
hospitalization does not include:  emergency room visits; outpatient/same-
day/ambulatory procedures; observation/short stay units; rehabilitation facilities; 
hospice facilities; nursing homes; or clinical research/phase 1 units. 
Note:  The term “prolongation of existing hospitalization” refers to any extension of 
an inpatient hospitalization beyond the stay anticipated or required for the reason for 
the initial admission as determined by the investigator or treating physician. 
x A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct 
normal life functions 
Note:  An SAE specifically related to visual threat would be interpreted as any 
potential impairment or damage to the subject’s eyes (e.g., hemorrhage, retinal 
detachment, central corneal ulcer or damage to the optic nerve). 
x A congenital anomaly/birth defect in an offspring of a study subject. 
Important medical events that may not result in death, are life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, 
they may jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to 
prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.   
SAEs are collected at the time the subject signs the Informed Consent Form until the last 
follow up visit of the study.   
9.3 
Procedures for Reporting Adverse Events  
All AEs and their outcomes must be reported to 
the Sponsor, and the IRB/IEC as 
required by the IRB/IEC, federal, state, or local regulations and governing health authorities 
and recorded on the appropriate eCRF. 
9.3.1 Reporting a Suspected Unexpected Adverse Reaction  
All AEs that are ‘suspected’ and ‘unexpected’ are to be reported to 
the Sponsor and the 
IRB/IEC as required by the IRB/IEC, federal, state, or local regulations and governing health 
authorities. 
9.3.2 Reporting a Serious Adverse Event 
To ensure subject safety, all SAEs, regardless of relationship to the study drug, must be 
immediately reported.  All information relevant to the SAE must be recorded on the 
appropriate CRFs.  The investigator is obligated to pursue and obtain information requested 
by 
 and/or the Sponsor in addition to that information reported on the CRF.  All subjects 
experiencing a SAE must be followed up and the outcome reported.

In the event of a SAE, the investigator must notify 
 and the Sponsor immediately; obtain 
and maintain in his/her files all pertinent medical records, information, and medical 
judgments from colleagues who assisted in the treatment and follow-up of the subject; 
provide
 and the Sponsor with a complete case history, which includes a statement as to 
whether the event was or was not suspected to be related to the use of the study drug; and 
inform the IRB of the SAE within their guidelines for reporting SAEs.

Procedures for Unmasking of Study Drug 
All subjects, investigators, and study personnel involved with the conduct of the study will be 
masked with regard to treatment assignments. When medically necessary, the investigator 
may need to determine what treatment regimen has been assigned to a subject. When 
possible (i.e., in non-emergent situations), 
 and/or the Sponsor should be notified before 
unmasking study drug. Unmasking will be performed utilizing the randomization system.  
The unmasked subject will continue the study if warranted by the Investigator in consultation 
with the Medical Monitor.  
9.5 
Type and Duration of the Follow-up of Subjects after Adverse Events 
The investigator will follow unresolved AEs to resolution until the subject is lost to follow-
up or until the AE is otherwise classified. Resolution means the subject has returned to 
baseline state of health or the Investigator does not expect any further improvement or 
worsening of the AE. If the patient is lost to follow-up, the Investigator should make 3 
reasonable attempts to contact the patient via telephone, post, or certified mail. All follow-up

will be documented in the subject’s source document. Non-serious AEs identified on the last 
scheduled contact must be recorded on the AE eCRF with the status noted.  
If the Investigator becomes aware of any new information regarding an existing SAE (i.e., 
resolution, change in condition, or new treatment), a new SAE/Unanticipated Report Form 
must be completed and faxed to 
 within 24 hours of the site’s awareness of the new 
information. The original SAE form is not to be altered. The report should describe whether 
the event has resolved or continues and how the event was treated.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS  
Statistical considerations and methods of analyses for this study are provided below; the 
accompanying Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) contains complete details of the planned 
analyses. 
10.1 Primary and Secondary Endpoints  
Primary Endpoint: 
x Percent of subjects who achieve ≥10 mm improvement in Schirmer’s Test Score from 
baseline at Visit 4 (Day 28) 
Secondary Endpoints 
x Mean change from Baseline in Eye Dryness Score (EDS) at 5 minutes after threshold 
defined treatment administration in the Controlled Adverse Environment® Chamber 
at Visit 4 (Day 28) 
x Mean change from Baseline in Eye Dryness Score (EDS) at Visit 4 (Day 28) (Post 
STS) 
x Mean change from Baseline in Schirmer’s Test Score (STS) at Visit 4 (Day 28) 
x Mean change from Baseline in Corneal Fluorescein Staining at Visit 4 (Day 28) 
10.2 
Analysis Populations 
10.2.1 Intention-To-Treat Population  
The intent-to-treat (ITT) population will include all randomized subjects. Analyses using the 
ITT population will group subjects according to the treatment to which they were 
randomized.  
10.2.2 Safety Population 
The safety population will include all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of 
the study drug. Analysis on the safety population will group subjects according to the 
treatment actually received.

10.3 
Statistical Hypotheses 
Let pl, ph, and pp denote the percent of subjects in each group (low dose, high dose, and 
placebo, respectively) who have ≥ 10mm change from baseline to Visit 4 in STS. 
 
H0: pl – pp = 0 or ph – pp = 0 
 
H1: pl – pp ≠ 0 or ph – pp ≠ 0 
10.4 
Sample Size and Power Considerations 
The study will randomize approximately 750 subjects in a 1:1:1 ratio to the three treatment 
groups. Approximately 250 subjects in each treatment group are expected to complete their 
assigned treatment and have endpoint assessments at Visit 4. 
For the primary endpoint, the percent of subjects achieving > 10 mm improvement from 
Baseline in STS at Visit 4, the ONSET-1 study had roughly 15% of subjects in the placebo 
group and 50% in each of the 0.6 mg/ml and 1.2 mg/ml groups.  If the true proportion 
achieving at least a 10 mm improvement is 15% in the placebo group and, conservatively, 
40% in each of the active arms, the power for each dose would be greater than 99%. 
The secondary endpoint is the EDS test. The ONSET-1 study showed a roughly 12 unit 
difference between placebo and each active treatment group in mean change from baseline to 
day 28 with a standard deviation (SD) of roughly 26 units. If these estimates apply to the 
Phase III ONSET-2 study and the data are analyzed with an analysis of variance, the study 
will have approximately 99% power for each dose. 
 
10.5 
Statistical Analysis 
This section briefly outlines the planned efficacy analyses. The statistical analysis plan (SAP) 
describes the methods to be used in detail. If the SAP and the protocol disagree, the details 
and methods of the SAP will prevail. 
10.5.1 General Considerations 
Quantitative variables will be summarized using the number of subjects (n), mean, SD, 
median, 25th and 75th percentiles, and minimum and maximum. Qualitative variables will be 
summarized using counts and percentages. 
All summaries will be presented by treatment group. Summaries will be provided for 
demographics, medical history, concomitant medications, and subject disposition. 
For the summaries, medical history, concomitant medications, and AEs will be coded to 
MedDRA and World Health Organization Drug dictionaries, as appropriate.

10.5.6 Safety Analysis 
All safety analyses will be performed on the safety population. 
The safety of OC-01 (varenicline) will be assessed primarily by the incidence of AEs. An AE 
will be considered a treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) if it occurs or worsens on or after 
initiation of treatment. An overall summary of TEAEs will be presented including the 
number of events and the number of subjects with events (along with percentages) by 
treatment group for TEAEs in several categories base on seriousness, relationship to 
treatment, and severity.  
Other safety endpoints including visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy and intranasal 
examination will be summarized by treatment group and visit using descriptive statistics. 
Changes or shifts from baseline will be summarized where appropriate. For assessments 
performed by eye, study eye and fellow eye will be summarized separately.  
The SAP will present methods of analysis of these defined parameters in detail. 
10.5.7 Interim Analysis 
No interim analysis planned for this study.

federal requirements relevant to the use of study drugs in the countries involved will be 
adhered to. 
11.1 
Protection of Human Subjects 
11.1.1  Subject Informed Consent  
Informed consent/assent must take place before any study specific procedures are initiated.  
Signed and dated written informed consent must be obtained from each subject and/or from 
the subject’s parent or legal guardian prior to enrollment into the study.  If the subject is 
under the legal age of consent, the consent form must be signed by a legal guardian or as 
required by state and/or local laws and regulations. 
All informed consent/assent forms must be approved for use by the Sponsor and receive 
approval/favorable opinion from an IRB prior to their use.  If the consent form requires 
revision (e.g., due to a protocol amendment or significant new safety information), it is the 
investigator’s responsibility to ensure that the amended informed consent is reviewed and 
approved by 
 prior to submission to the governing IRB and that it is read, signed and 
dated by all subjects subsequently enrolled in the study as well as those currently enrolled in 
the study.

years have elapsed since the formal discontinuation of clinical development of the study 
drug. These documents will be retained for a longer period if required by the applicable 
regulatory requirements or by an agreement with the Sponsor.  It is the responsibility of the 
Sponsor to inform the investigator/institution as to when these documents no longer need to 
be retained. 
If the responsible investigator retires, relocates, or for other reasons withdraws from the 
responsibility of keeping study records, custody must be transferred to a person who will 
accept the responsibility.  The Sponsor must be notified in writing of the name and address of 
the new custodian. 
11.5 
Labeling, Packaging, Storage, Accountability, and Return or Disposal of Study 
Drug 
11.5.1 Labeling/Packaging 
Investigational drug will be provided in multi-use intranasal applicator that will be assigned 
at randomization for use during the first 28 days of study.  
11.5.2 Storage of Investigational Drug / Placebo  
The investigational drug / placebo must be stored in accordance with the pharmacy manual 
for this study, which contains detailed information regarding the storage and administration.  
1.1.3 Accountability of Study Drug 
The investigational drug / placebo is only prescribed by the principal investigator or his/her 
named sub investigator(s) and is to only be used in accordance with this protocol. The study 
drugs must only be distributed to subjects properly qualified under this protocol to receive 
study drug.  The investigator must keep an accurate accounting of the study drugs by 
maintaining a detailed inventory. This includes the amount of study drugs received by the 
site, amount dispensed to subjects, amount returned to the site by the subjects, and the 
amount returned to the Sponsor upon the completion of the study.  
11.5.2 Return or Disposal of Study Drug 
You may be requested to destroy study drug or study drug kits on-site that are expired, not 
acceptable for use due to a temperature deviation, or at the end of the study.  If site 
regulations do not permit destruction, study drugs will be returned to the Sponsor or their 
designee for destruction. 
11.6 
Recording of Data on Source Documents and Electronic Case Reports Forms 
All subject data will be captured in the subject source documents which will be transcribed in 
the eCRFs. The investigator is responsible for ensuring that study data is completely and 
accurately recorded on each subject’s eCRF, source documents, and all study-related 
materials. All study data should also be attributable, legible, contemporaneous, and original. 
A recorded datum should only be corrected in a manner that does not obliterate, destroy, or

render illegible the previous entry (e.g., by drawing a single line through the incorrect entry 
and writing the revision next to the corrected data). An individual who has corrected a data 
entry should make clear who made the correction and when, by adding to the correction 
his/her initials as well as the date of the correction.  
Data entry of all enrolled and randomized subjects will use software that conforms to 21 CFR 
Part 11 requirements, and will be performed only by staff who have been trained on the 
system and have access to the system. Data will not be entered for screen failure subjects. An 
audit trail will be maintained within the electronic system to capture all changes made within 
the eCRF database. After the end of the study and database lock, electronic copies of all 
applicable subjects’ eCRFs will be provided to each Investigator Site to be maintained on file 
by the Investigator.

Handling of Biological Specimens  
Not applicable.  
11.8 
Publications 
The study will be documented in a final report, which will contain appropriate statistical 
analysis and medical overview. No individual site or Investigator may publish or present any 
results from the study until the Sponsor completes a joint, multi-center publication of the trial 
results in conjunction with various participating Investigators and appropriate sites 
contributing data and comments. Subsequently, individual Investigators may request to 
publish or present results from the trial; however, approval will be at the sole discretion of 
the Sponsor. Should the foregoing language be in conflict with the language addressing 
publication in the clinical trial agreement, the language in the Clinical Trial Agreement will 
prevail.

APPENDIX 2: EXAMINATION PROCEDURES, TESTS, EQUIPMENT, AND 
TECHNIQUES  
The following examination procedures, tests, equipment and techniques are listed in this 
Appendix:  
Visual Acuity Procedures  
LogMAR visual acuity must be assessed using an ETDRS chart. The procedure used will be 
consistent with the recommendations provided for using the ETDRS eye chart. Visual acuity 
should be evaluated at the beginning of each visit in the study (i.e., prior to slit lamp 
examination). Participants should use the most recent correction to attain their corrected 
distance visual acuity (CDVA); if they forget their spectacles, this prescription can be placed 
in a trial frame. 
Equipment 
The visual acuity chart to be used is the ETDRS chart. If smaller reproduction (18" by 18", 
e.g., from Prevent Blindness) wall charts are used, the participant viewing distance should be 
exactly 10 feet (or as specified by the manufacturer). In ALL cases, for purposes of 
standardizing the testing conditions during the study, all sites must use only ETDRS Series 
2000 Chart 1 & 2, and the right eye should be tested first. For reflectance (wall) charts, the 
chart should be placed frontally and be well illuminated. 
Measurement Technique 
The chart should be at a comfortable viewing angle. The right eye should be tested first. The 
participant should attempt to read each letter, line-by-line, left to right, beginning with line 1 
at the top of the chart. The participant should be told that the chart has letters only, no 
numbers. If the participant reads a number, s/he should be reminded that the chart contains 
no numbers, and the examiner should then request a letter in lieu of the number. The 
participant should be asked to read slowly, so as to achieve the best identification of each 
letter. S/he is not to proceed to the next letter until s/he has given a definite response. 
If the participant changes a response (e.g., 'that was a "C" not an "O"') before s/he has read 
aloud the next letter, then the change must be accepted. If the participant changes a response 
having read the next letter, then the change is not accepted. The examiner should never point 
to the chart or to specific letters on the chart during the test. 
A maximum effort should be made to identify each letter on the chart. When the participant 
says s/he cannot read a letter, s/he should be encouraged to guess. If the participant identifies 
a letter as one of two letters, s/he should be asked to choose one letter and, if necessary, to 
guess. When it becomes evident that no further meaningful readings can be made, despite 
encouragement to read or guess, the examiner should stop the test for that eye. However, all 
letters on the last line should be attempted as letter difficulties vary and the last may be the 
only one read correctly. The number of letters missed or read incorrectly should be noted.

LogMAR Visual Acuity Calculations 
The last line in which a letter is read correctly will be taken as the base logMAR reading. To 
this value will be added the number "N x 0.02" where 'N' represents the total number of 
letters missed up to and including the last line read. This total sum represents the logMAR 
visual acuity for that eye. 
Example: Participant correctly reads 4 of 5 letters on the 0.2 line, and 2 of 5 letters on the 0.1 
line. 
Base logMAR 
= 0.1 
N (total number of letters incorrect on line 0.2 as well as 0.1) 
= 4 
N x T (T=0.02) 
= 0.08 
Base logMAR + (N x T) 
= 0.1 + 0.08 
logMAR visual acuity 
= 0.18 
 
Repeat the procedure for the left eye. 
In order to provide standardized and well-controlled assessments of visual acuity during the 
study, all visual acuity assessments at a single site must be consistently done using the same 
lighting conditions and same correction if possible during the entire study. If the same 
correction cannot be used (i.e., a participant broke his/her glasses), the reason for the change 
in correction should be documented. 
Note: A clinically significant visual acuity decrease (defined as an increase of 0.32 or greater 
in logMAR score) from the Screening Visit (Visit 1) should be evaluated by the Investigator 
as a potential AE.

Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy  
Slit lamp biomicroscopy will be performed during the study. Observations will be graded as 
Normal or Abnormal. Abnormal findings, which are clinically significant, will be described.  
Corneal Fluorescein Staining  
The examiner should instill 5 PL of 2% preservative-free sodium fluorescein solution into the 
inferior conjunctival cul-de-sac of each eye. Alternatively, corneal staining can be assessed 
using 1.0 mg sodium fluorescein strips. After moistening the tip of the strip with sterile 
buffered saline, the excess is shaken into a waste bin with a sharp flick. The lower lid is then 
pulled down and the flat end of the tip should be gently applied to the inferior tarsal 
conjunctiva with the intent of not inducing reflex tearing and instilling a very small volume 
of dye.  
The participant will be instructed to blink naturally several times without forced closure of 
the eyelid to distribute the fluorescein. In order to achieve maximum fluorescence, the 
examiner should wait at least two minutes after instillation before evaluating corneal 
fluorescein staining. A Wratten #12 yellow filter will be used to enhance the ability to grade 
fluorescein staining. The staining will be graded with the NEI Scale. The upper eyelid is 
lifted slightly to grade the entire corneal surface.

Schirmer’s Test with Topical Anesthesia  
At the Screening Visit, one basal Schirmer’s test will be performed followed by a Schirmer’s 
test with cotton swab nasal stimulation. The Schirmer’s test with topical anesthetic will be 
used to assess tear production using the following steps:   
1. Topical anesthetic drops such as 0.5% proparacaine hydrochloride or equivalent should 
be instilled in both eyes of the participant. 
2. The participant will be instructed to keep the eyes gently closed for one minute.   
3. After opening the eyes and allowing the eyes to recover for approximately one additional 
minute, excess moisture in the inferior fornix is gently removed with a spear. 
4. Schirmer’s strips (35 mm x 5 mm size filter paper strip) will be placed in each eye at the 
junction of the middle and lateral thirds of the lower eye lid.  
5. Under ambient light, the participant will be instructed to look forward and to blink 
normally during the course of the test. The test should be performed in a room with no 
direct air or sunlight on the participant’s face. 
6. The Schirmer’s strips should remain in place until five minutes have elapsed or both 
strips have reached maximum score. 
7. After five minutes, strips will be removed from both eyes and the amount of wetting will 
be recorded. The strips should be taped to the CRF.   
Schirmer’s test using cotton swab nasal stimulation   
At the Screening Visit, the Schirmer’s test should be performed using cotton swab nasal 
stimulation. New anesthetic drops should be instilled following the same procedure specified 
in steps #1 to 3 above. 
1. With new strips in place, the examiner should insert cotton swabs in the participant’s two 
nostrils simultaneously and gently probe both nasal middle turbinates for approximately 
30 seconds. After this, the examiner can simply hold the swabs in place, applying gentle 
pressure, and repeat probing intermittently as necessary.   
2. Alternatively, the participant can be instructed to hold the cotton swabs and gently probe 
both nasal turbinates simultaneously, resting intermittently before probing again.  The 
examiner should continuously coach the participant on how to perform this test properly.  
3. The Schirmer’s strips should remain in place until five minutes have elapsed or both 
strips have reached maximum score. 
Both Schirmer’s scores will be recorded and verified that they meet the inclusion criteria.
