Trial Outcomes & Findings for Extension Study to Gather Data on Effect of Macugen on the Corneal Endothelium (NCT NCT01573572)

NCT ID: NCT01573572

Last Updated: 2021-01-08

Results Overview

The effect on the corneal endothelium will be assessed by specular microscopy, by assessing mean cell density change from baseline. This is to evaluate that there are no adverse effects on the corneal endothelium following intravitreal injections of Macugen.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 54

Population: Participants with cell density assessments at both baseline and Week 54.

The effect on the corneal endothelium will be assessed by specular microscopy, by assessing mean cell density change from baseline. This is to evaluate that there are no adverse effects on the corneal endothelium following intravitreal injections of Macugen.
