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

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Eyes With at Least 5-letter Decrease in E-ETDRS Visual Acuity Letter Score From Baseline2 years
Best-corrected visual acuity following protocol-defined refraction. Visual Acuity was measured with the Electronic Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (E-ETDRS) visual acuity test on a scale from 100 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/12) to 0 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/800).
SecondaryNumber of Eyes With at Least 5-letter Increase or at Least 5-, 10-, or 15-letter Decrease in E-ETDRS Visual Acuity Letter Score From Baseline1 year
Best-corrected visual acuity following protocol-defined refraction. Visual Acuity was measured with the Electronic Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (E-ETDRS) visual acuity test on a scale from 100 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/12) to 0 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/800).
SecondaryChange in E-ETDRS Visual Acuity Letter Score From Baseline1 year
Best-corrected visual acuity following protocol-defined refraction. Visual Acuity was measured with the Electronic Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (E-ETDRS) visual acuity test on a scale from 100 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/12) to 0 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/800).
SecondaryChange in E-ETDRS Visual Acuity Letter Score From Baseline Over 2 Years (Area Under the Curve)2 year
Best-corrected visual acuity following protocol-defined refraction. Visual Acuity was measured with the Electronic Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (E-ETDRS) visual acuity test on a scale from 100 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/12) to 0 letters (Snellen equivalent of 20/800). The area under the curve (units = letters·years) was divided by 2 years (units = years) to obtain an average change in letter score (units = letters) over the 2-year follow-up.
SecondaryChange in OCT Central Subfield Thickness From Baseline2 years
SecondaryNumber of Eyes With at Least 1 or 2 Logarithmic-step Central Subfield Thickness Improvement and Worsening1 year
Logarithmic transformation of optical coherence tomography central subfield thickness (CST) is calculated by taking the log base 10 of the ratio of the central subfield thickness divided by 200 and rounding to the nearest hundredth. The change is the change in the log values.
SecondaryNumber of Eyes With no Center-involved Diabetic Macular Edema and at Least 10% Central Subfield Thickness Decrease1 year
Center-involved diabetic macular edema defined as follows by central subfield thickness according to optical coherence tomography machine and sex: Heidelberg Spectralis ≥ 305 µm in women and ≥ 320 µm in men, and Zeiss Cirrus ≥ 290 µm in women and ≥ 305 µm in men.
SecondaryCumulative Number of Intraocular Injections of 2.0-mg Aflibercept Received Per Participant1 year
SecondaryNumber of Eyes With ≥ 2-step Worsening of Diabetic Retinopathy2 years
Includes eyes with baseline severity level of 75 (high-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy) or less based on reading center grading of color fundus photographs using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study severity scale.
SecondaryFor Eyes Randomized to Initial Laser Photocoagulation and Initial Observation Groups, the Percentage Receiving Aflibercept Treatment2 years
