Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy Study of RPh201 Treatment of Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (ION). (NCT NCT02045212)

NCT ID: NCT02045212

Last Updated: 2020-03-19

Results Overview

Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was assessed at all the visits, with refraction as necessary. VA measurements were taken in a sitting position at a test distance of 4 meters using early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) charts.
