Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Mean Average Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Change From Month 1 Through Month 6 to Baseline | Baseline, month 6 | the average of the changes in BCVA (letters) from baseline to any post-baseline visit, i.e. the mean of six differences to baseline for the six post-baseline visits at month 1 to 6 |
| Secondary | Mean BCVA Change From Baseline to Endpoints Month 1 to Month 6 | Baseline, month 6 | The analysis was performed by an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with average change in BCVA (letters) from Visit 1 through Visit 6 as dependent variable, and with the factors center, treatment and covariate baseline BCVA as predictors |
| Secondary | Percentage of Patients Gaining / Losing ≥ 15 / 10 / 5 Letters After 6 Month Treatment | Baseline, 6 month | BCVA score was based on the number of letters read correctly on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity chart assessed at a starting distance of 4 meters. An ETDRS visual acuity score of 85 is approximately 20/20. An increased score indicates improvement in acuity. This outcome assessed the percentage of participants who gained 15, 10 or 5 more letters of visual acuity at month 6 as compared with baseline |
| Secondary | Time to Achieve a Significant Improvement ≥ 15 Letters | Baseline, month 6 | The time was analyzed by the Kaplan-Maier-Method, adjusting the calculation for dropouts |
| Secondary | Change Over Time in BCVA | baseline, month 6 | The analysis was performed by an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with average change in BCVA (letters) from Visit 1 through Visit 6 as dependent variable, and with the factors center, treatment and covariate baseline BCVA as predictors |
| Secondary | Change Over Time of the Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) | Baseline, month 6 | Retinal thickness was measured using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). The images were reviewed by a central reading center to ensure a standardized evaluation |
| Secondary | Changes in the Quality of Life According to the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ 25) Questionnaires | Baseline, month 6 | The VFQ-25 composite and subscale scores range from 0 to 100, a higher score indicating better functioning. The 12 subscales in the VFQ-25 are general health, general vision, ocular pain, near activities, distance activities, social function, mental health, role difficulties, dependency, driving, color vision, and peripheral vision. The scores on the subscales were added together for a total score, which ranged from 0 to 100. A higher score indicated improvement in quality of life due to vision function. |
| Secondary | Changes in the Quality of Life According to the Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36)Questionnaires | Baseline, month 6 | SF-36 summary measures are norm-based scores with mean = 50 and SD = 10. Higher scores indicate better health |
| Secondary | Changes in the Quality of Life According to Euro Quality of Life (EQ-5D) Questionnaires | Baseline, month 6 | The EQ-5D visual analog scale ranges from 0 to 100, 0 representing the worst and 100 the best imaginable health state. |
| Secondary | Rate of the Internal Ocular Pressure (IOP) | Baseline, month 6 | The proportion of patients with ≥ 10% increase in IOP compared to baseline at any post-baseline visit. |
