Summary
The study was a double-blind, parallel study to compare efficacy of 0.1% tacrolimus
ophthalmic ointment vs 2% cyclosporine eye drops in children with vernal
keratoconjunctivitis. The duration of the blinded period was 8 weeks followed with 4 weeks of
open-period of tacrolimus ointment. The hypothesis was that tacrolimus was as effective as
cyclosporine for the treatment of this condition.
