Registered outcomes4

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

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryParticipants Who Gained at Least 15 Letters in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at Week 24 - LOCFBaseline to week 24
Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was assessed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol at every visit from baseline through week 24. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 24 in BCVA Score - LOCFBaseline to Week 24
Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was assessed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol at every visit from baseline through week 24 - Last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) at Week 24 - LOCFBaseline to week 24CRT was evaluated at every visit from baseline through week 24 using spectral domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).
SecondaryChange From Baseline in the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire - 25 (NEI VFQ-25) Questionnaire Total Score at Week 24 - LOCFBaseline to week 24
The NEI VFQ-25 total score ranges from 0-100 with a score of 0 being the worst outcome and 100 being the best outcome. The NEI VFQ questionnaire is organized as a collection of subscales that are all scored from 0-100. Near activities are defined as reading ordinary print in newspapers, performing work or hobbies requiring near vision, or finding something on a crowded shelf.
