PrimaryDouble Masked Period: Incidence of Ocular TEAEsAssessed at each visit: Baseline, Day 5 Visit, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52 (End of treatment visit) and Week 56 (Follow up visit)The incidence of ocular treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs).

PrimaryOLE: Severity of Ocular TEAEsAssessed at Week 68, 84, 100, 116, 132, 148, 152, Week 160/ (End of treatment visit)The severity of ocular treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs).
PrimaryDouble Masked Period: Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)Assessed at each visit: Baseline, Day 5 Visit, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52 (End of treatment visit) and Week 56 (Follow up visit)
Double Masked Period: Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using the using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) scale by visit. ETDRS charts present a series of five letters of equal difficulty on each row, with standardized spacing between letters and rows; there is a total of 14 lines (70 letters), with letter size increasing further geometrically and equivalently in every line by a factor of 1.2589 (or 0.1 log unit), moving up the chart. Minimum score of zero, maximum score of 100. Change from baseline: a more negative score is worse outcome, a more positive score is better outcome. A lower score means less letters were read correctly (worse outcome) and a higher score means more letters were read correctly (better outcome).

SecondaryDouble Masked Period: Photopic Negative Response Electroretinography (PhNR-ERG) A-wave AmplitudeAssessed at each visit from Baseline to Week 56 (follow-up visit), except for Day 5 visit.
Change from baseline in photopic negative response electroretinography (PhNR-ERG) a-wave amplitude by Visit. Photopic negative response electroretinography (PhNR-ERG) assesses retinal cell function. A decrease in the amplitude of the a-wave is associated with worse outcomes. Change from baseline in a-wave amplitude: a more positive number equals a decrease in amplitude, and therefore a worse outcome, a more negative number mean a better outcome.

A decrease in the amplitude of the a-wave is associated with worse outcomes. Change from baseline in a-wave amplitude: a more positive number equals a decrease in amplitude, and therefore a worse outcome, a more negative number mean a better outcome.
SecondaryDouble Masked Period: Photopic Negative Response Electroretinography (PhNR-ERG) B-wave AmplitudeAssessed at each visit from Baseline to Week 56 (follow-up visit), except for Day 5 visit.
Change from baseline in photopic negative response electroretinography (PhNR-ERG) b-wave amplitude by visit. Photopic negative response electroretinography (PhNR -ERG) assesses retinal cell function. A decrease in the amplitude of the b-wave is associated with worse outcomes. Change from baseline in b-wave amplitude: a more negative number equals a decrease in amplitude, and therefore a worse outcome, a more positive number mean a better outcome.
