Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy Study of Ozurdex® Compared to Lucentis® in Patients With Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (NCT NCT01427751)

NCT ID: NCT01427751

Last Updated: 2019-04-18

Results Overview

BCVA was measured in the study eye using an eye chart and was recorded as the number of letters read correctly for a total possible score of 0 to 100. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The higher the number of letters read correctly, the better the vision (or visual acuity) A positive change from Baseline (more letters read correctly) indicates improvement.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Month 12

Population: Participants from the intent-to-treat population, all randomized participants, with data available for analysis.

BCVA was measured in the study eye using an eye chart and was recorded as the number of letters read correctly for a total possible score of 0 to 100. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The higher the number of letters read correctly, the better the vision (or visual acuity) A positive change from Baseline (more letters read correctly) indicates improvement.

BCVA was measured in the study eye using an eye chart and was recorded as the number of letters read correctly for a total possible score of 0 to 100. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The higher the number of letters read correctly, the better the vision (or visual acuity). An improvement in the number of letters read means that the vision has improved.
