- Otoscopic Examination: Tympanic Membrane [ Time Frame: Up to 1 month ]Number of subjects with a tympanic membrane that was rated as "Not able to Visualize" or "Abnormal" at Baseline that was rated as "Normal" at Day 29 (final study day)
- Otoscopic Examination: Middle Ear [ Time Frame: Up to 1 month ]Number of subjects with a middle ear that was rated as "Not Able to Visualize" or "Abnormal" at Baseline that had a middle ear rated as "Normal" at Day 29 (final study visit)
- Feasibility of Administration [ Time Frame: Day1 ]Ease of administering OTO-201 to the external ear canal. Number of subjects that investigators rated ease of administration as either "easy" or "very easy".
- Overall Adverse Events [ Time Frame: up to 1 month ]Number of Subjects with and without adverse events during the study from dosing up to 1 month after dosing
- Number of Subjects Considered a Clinical Cure at Day 15 (Intent-to-treat Analysis Set) [ Time Frame: Day 15 (two weeks from dosing) ]
Clinical Signs (edema, erythema, otorrhea and otalgia) all had a score of 0 at Day 15. Each sign was graded as follows:
None = 0 Mild = 1 Moderate = 2 Severe = 3
- Number of Subjects Considered a Clinical Cure at Day 15 (Per-protocol Analysis Set) [ Time Frame: Day 15 (2 weeks from dosing) ]
