Data based on the ITT population.
For latanoprost without BAK to be considered noninferior to latanoprost with BAK, all three noninferiority criteria N1−N3 must be met for the minimum required time points.
N1, 95% CI includes 0 mm Hg; N2, the upper limit of the 95% CI is less than 1.5 mm Hg; N3, the upper limit of the 95% CI is less than 1 mm Hg.
BAK, benzalkonium chloride; CI, confidence interval; IOP, intraocular pressure; ITT, intent-to-treat.
