Six percent of the Durezol QID patients and 3.7% of the Durezol BID patients experienced a criterion increase in intraocular pressure, defined as a pressure of greater than or equal to 21 mmHg and a change from baseline greater than or equal to 10 mmHg at the same visit, compared with 0% in both of the placebo groups.

"It is a welcome improvement to the armamentarium of ocular pharmaceuticals, particularly since ocular inflammation is common to the majority of conditions that ophthalmologists treat."

Prior to U.S. approval, the efficacy and safety of difluprednate in ocular inflammatory diseases had been demonstrated in an extensive preclinical and clinical program in Japan. In two U.S. Phase 3 trials evaluating Durez
