Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Abicipar Pegol in Patients With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (NCT NCT02181517)

NCT ID: NCT02181517

Last Updated: 2016-05-17

Results Overview

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.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 16

Population: Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population included all randomized and treated participants with at least 1 follow-up visit.

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.

Population: mITT population included all randomized and treated participants with at least 1 follow-up visit.

CRT was assessed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), a non-invasive diagnostic system providing high-resolution imaging sections of the retina. SD-OCT was performed in the study eye after pupil dilation. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.
