Limitations and caveats
This study was terminated early by the Sponsor because the compound had demonstrated to lack of efficacy. Thus, not all participants in this study completed the full duration of treatment.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange From Baseline in Geographic Atrophy (GA) Area, as Assessed by Fundus Autofluoresence (FAF) at Week 48Baseline, Week 48
The change in GA lesion area was measured by FAF and analysis of FAF images was performed by the central reading center. A positive change from baseline indicates an increase in size of GA lesion area (worsening; disease progression).
PrimaryChange From Baseline in GA Area in Complement Factor I (CFI) Positive and Negative Participants at Week 48Baseline, Week 48
For CFI profile, positive or negative biomarker status refers to the presence (carrier) or absence of the risk allele at CFI and at least one risk allele at complement factor H (CFH) or risk locus containing both complement component 2 and complement factor B (C2/CFB).The change in GA lesion area was measured by FAF and analysis of FAF images was performed by the central reading center. A positive change from baseline indicates an increase in size of GA lesion area (worsening; disease progression).
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Number of Absolute Scotomatous Points as Assessed by Mesopic Micrometry at Week 48Baseline, Week 48
Scotomatous points were the testing points on microperimetry examination that were centered on the macula and reported a lack of retinal sensitivity within the range tested, a maximum of 68 points were tested within this range. Higher results indicate expansion of absolute scotoma and higher number of abolute scotomatous points. Mesopic microperimetry assessments were performed post-dilation on the study eye only, and the data was forwarded to the central reading center. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study. A positive change from baseline indicates an increase in the number of absolute scotomatous points (more lack of retinal sensitivity); disease worsening.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Mean Macular Sensitivity as Assessed by Mesopic Microperimetry at Week 48Baseline, Week 48
Mesopic microperimetry was used to assess macular sensitivity and assessments were performed post-dilation on the study eye only, and the data was forwarded to the central reading center. A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the mean macular sensitivity; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score as Assessed by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Chart at Week 48Baseline, Week 48
BCVA score was based on the number of letters read correctly on the ETDRS visual acuity chart assessed at a starting distance of 4 meters (m). BCVA score testing was performed prior to dilating the eyes. BCVA score ranges from 0 to 100 letters in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the visual acuity; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Less Than 15 Letters Loss From Baseline in BCVA Score at Week 48Week 48
Loss of less than 15 letters from baseline was assessed by the ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters (m). BCVA was measured using an eye chart and was reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters). The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Low Luminance Visual Acuity (LLVA) as Assessed by ETDRS Chart Under Low Luminance Conditions at Week 48Baseline, Week 48
The LLVA was measured by placing a 2.0-log-unit neutral density filter over the best correction for that eye and having the participant read the normally illuminated ETDRS chart. The assessment was performed prior to dilating the eyes. LLVA score ranges from 0 to 100 letters in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Less Than 15 Letters Loss From Baseline in LLVA Score at Week 48Week 48
Loss of less than 15 letters from baseline was assessed by the ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 m. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Binocular Reading Speed as Assessed by Minnesota Low-Vision Reading Test (MNRead) Charts or Radner Reading Charts at Week 48Baseline, Week 48
MNRead acuity cards were continuous-text reading-acuity cards suitable for measuring the reading acuity and reading speed of normal and low-vision participants. The MNRead acuity cards consisted of single, simple sentences with equal numbers of characters. A stopwatch was used to record time to a tenth of a second. Sentences that could not be read or were not attempted due to vision should be recorded as 0 for time and 10 for errors. The Radner Reading Cards were suitable for measuring reading speed, reading visual acuity, and critical print size. The reading test was stopped when the reading time was longer than 20 seconds or when the participant was making severe errors. A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the binocular reading speed; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Monocular Maximum Reading Speed as Assessed by MNRead Charts or Radner Reading Charts at Week 48Baseline, Week 48
MNRead acuity cards were continuous-text reading-acuity cards suitable for measuring the reading acuity and reading speed of normal and low-vision participants. The MNRead acuity cards consisted of single, simple sentences with equal numbers of characters. A stopwatch was used to record time to a tenth of a second. Sentences that could not be read or were not attempted due to vision should be recorded as 0 for time and 10 for errors. The Radner Reading Cards were suitable for measuring reading speed, reading visual acuity, and critical print size. The reading test was stopped when the reading time was longer than 20 seconds or when the participant was making severe errors. A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the monocular reading speed; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.
