Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Abicipar Pegol in Japanese Patients With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (NCT NCT02181504)

NCT ID: NCT02181504

Last Updated: 2017-04-25

Results Overview

BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase (positive number change from baseline) in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved and a decrease (negative number change from baseline) in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has worsened.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 16

Population: Modified Intent-to-Treat: all randomized and treated patients with at least 1 follow-up visit

BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase (positive number change from baseline) in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved and a decrease (negative number change from baseline) in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has worsened.

BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly using the ETDRS Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. The percentage of patients with a BCVA gain of ≥15 letters are noted.

CRT is assessed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), a non-invasive diagnostic system that provides high-resolution imaging sections of the retina. SD-OCT is performed in the study eye after pupil dilation. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement and a positive change from baseline indicates worsening.
