Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at Month 12 | Baseline to Month 12 | BCVA was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA) chart starting at a test distance of 4 meters. The BCVA score is the number of letters read correctly by the patient. A decrease in the BCVA score indicates a worsening of vision. A positive change score indicates improvement. |
| Secondary | Number of Ranibizumab Injections up to But Not Including Month 12 | Baseline to Month 12 | |
| Secondary | Percentage of Patients Who Gained ≥ 15 Letters in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) From Baseline at Month 12 | Baseline to Month 12 | BCVA was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA) chart starting at a test distance of 4 meters. The BCVA score is the number of letters read correctly by the patient. An increase in the BCVA score indicates an improvement of vision. |
| Secondary | Percentage of Patients With a Visual Acuity (VA) Snellen Equivalent of 20/40 or Better at Month 12 | Month 12 | VA was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity chart starting at a test distance of 4 meters. An increase in the number of lines read correctly by the patient in the ETDRS chart indicates an improvement of vision. The Snellen equivalent of 20/40 is 14 lines correctly read in the EDTRS chart. |
| Secondary | Percentage of Patients With no Evidence of Fluid From Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) at Month 12 | Month 12 | The presence of fluid from choroidal neovascularization (CNV) was assessed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). No evidence of fluid was defined as no subretinal fluid thickness, no cystoid spaces, no intraretinal fluid, no pigment epithelial defect thickness, and average central subfield thickness \< 270 µm. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Central Foveal Thickness at Day 7 and Months 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 | Baseline to Day 7 and Months 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 | Central foveal thickness was assessed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Macular Volume at Day 7 and Months 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 | Baseline to Day 7 and Months 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 | Macular volume was assessed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in the Total Area of Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) and Choroidal Neovascular Leakage at Month 12 | Baseline to Month 12 | The total area of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and choroidal neovascular leakage was assessed with fluorescein angiography (FA). Area was measured in disc area units; 1 disc area unit = 2.54 mm\^2. |
