PrimaryPart 1: Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in the Study Eye at Week 24From Baseline through Week 24
Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was measured on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at a starting distance of 4 meters. The BCVA letter score ranges from 0 to 100 (best score), and a gain in BCVA from baseline indicates an improvement in visual acuity. The Mixed Model of Repeated Measures (MMRM) analysis included the categorical covariates of treatment arm, visit, visit-by-treatment arm interaction, baseline BCVA (continuous), and randomization stratification factors \[baseline BCVA (≥55 and ≤54 letters), and region (U.S. and Canada, Asia, and rest of the world)\] as fixed effects. An unstructured covariance structure was used. Missing data were implicitly imputed by MMRM model assuming missing at random. Treatment policy strategy (i.e., all observed values used) was applied to all intercurrent events (discontinuation of treatment due to AEs or lack of efficacy, use of prohibited therapy). 95% CI is a rounding of 95.03% CI.
SecondaryPart 1: Change From Baseline in BCVA in the Study Eye at Specified Timepoints Through Week 24Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was measured on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at a starting distance of 4 meters.

SecondaryPart 1: Percentage of Participants Gaining ≥15 Letters in BCVA From Baseline in the Study Eye at Week 24Baseline and Week 24
Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was measured on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at a starting distance of 4 meters. The BCVA letter score ranges from 0 to 100 (best score), and a gain in BCVA from baseline indicates an improvement in visual acuity. The weighted percentage of participants was estimated based on the Cochran-Mantel Haenszel (CMH) weights stratified by randomization stratification factors \[baseline BCVA (≥55 and ≤54 letters), and region (U.S. and Canada, Asia, and rest of the world)\]. All observed values were used regardless of the occurrence of an intercurrent event (discontinuation of treatment due to AEs or lack of efficacy, use of prohibited therapy). Missing assessments were imputed by last observation carried forward. 95% CI is a rounding of 95.03% CI.
