Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Lucentis® (Ranibizumab Intravitreal Injections) in Chilean Patients With Diabetic Macular Edema. (NCT NCT02140411)

NCT ID: NCT02140411

Last Updated: 2019-02-20

Results Overview

Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) letters was measured using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (EDTRS)-like chart while participants were in a sitting position at a testing distance of 4 meters. The range of EDTRS is 0 to 100 letters. A positive change from baseline of BCVA indicates improvement.

"Visual functioning was assessed by the patient using the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (NEI-VFQ-25) on a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 = worst possible score and 100 = best. A positive change value indicates a perceived improvement in visual functioning, while a negative change value indicates a worsening."
