Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study On The Efficacy Of Macugen Injections In Patients With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration In Real Life. (NCT NCT00549055)

NCT ID: NCT00549055

Last Updated: 2018-12-06

Results Overview

Best corrected VA score, assessed on the scale over time (best corrected VA score at Final Visit minus best corrected VA score at Baseline). Lower scores represent poorer eyesight and higher scores represent better eyesight with a value of 1 representing normal eyesight. A positive change in score represents an improvement in sight.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Month 24 or Early Termination

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) was derived from the set of all enrolled participants who were administered at least 1 injection of the study medication and had at least 1 post Baseline efficacy measurement. Participants analyzed refers to number of participants with analyzable data.

Best corrected VA score, assessed on the scale over time (best corrected VA score at Final Visit minus best corrected VA score at Baseline). Lower scores represent poorer eyesight and higher scores represent better eyesight with a value of 1 representing normal eyesight. A positive change in score represents an improvement in sight.
