Registered outcomes2

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryThe Primary Outcome is the Change in Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Using the Electronic Visual Acuity (EVA) Technology at Month 12.12 months post-implant
The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients demonstrating an improvement in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), defined as an increase of 10 letters or more at the 1-Year post-implant visit (pre-explant, if explant is completed). No response is defined as an improvement of \<10 letters.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With and Without Best Corrected Visual Acuity Response Over the 18-month Follow-up Period (Months 1, 3, 6, 12 and 18)From initial implant to 18 months post-implant
The key visits for efficacy assessments were Months 1, 3, 6, 12 and 18. At these time points, BCVA was measured 3 times and the mean outcome reported. The assessments were conducted by masked technicians. The change from baseline for BCVA was summarized by time. Response is defined as an improvement in visual acuity by an increase of 10 letters or more whereas no response is \<10 letters.
