Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ocriplasmin for Vitreomacular Traction/Symptomatic Vitreomacular Adhesion (NCT NCT02322229)

NCT ID: NCT02322229

Last Updated: 2018-08-21

Results Overview

Vitreous separation was assessed, by SD-OCT according to CRC OCT image reading, into 1 of 12 categories, where the targeted status of VMA resolution was 7=Vitreous attached only at optic nerve (ON) or at ON and elsewhere, but not attached in macular, 9=Vitreous visible with complete separation and no attachment, and 10=No visible vitreous separation, which needed to be reached without prior vitrectomy. The assessment of resolution of VMT/sVMA was based upon the anatomical resolution of VMA only, i.e. no resolution of the related symptoms was considered. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 28

Population: Full Analysis Set. Missing data imputed using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) method. Subjects who had vitrectomy after VMA resolution are considered as 'no VMA resolution' after timepoint of vitrectomy.

Vitreous separation was assessed, by SD-OCT according to CRC OCT image reading, into 1 of 12 categories, where the targeted status of VMA resolution was 7=Vitreous attached only at optic nerve (ON) or at ON and elsewhere, but not attached in macular, 9=Vitreous visible with complete separation and no attachment, and 10=No visible vitreous separation, which needed to be reached without prior vitrectomy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 0), Day 7, Day 28, Day 90, Day 180

Population: Full Analysis Set. Missing data imputed using the LOCF method. BCVA values after a vitrectomy are imputed with the last non-missing value prior to the vitrectomy.

BCVA was assessed using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) testing. BCVA was determined as follows: if tested at 4 meters, BCVA=the number of letters read correctly at 4 meters+30; if tested at 1 meter, BCVA=the number of letters read correctly at 1 meter, with 83-84 representing normal vision. BCVA change was defined as a change in letters read from the baseline assessment. A positive change value indicates improvement. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 7, Day 28, Day 90, Day 180

Population: This analysis population includes all subjects in Full Analysis Set with MH at baseline (n=4). Subjects who had vitrectomy after MH closure are considered as 'no MH closure' after the timepoint of vitrectomy.

The closure of macular hole (a full thickness defect of the retinal tissue involving the anatomical fovea) is defined as a flattened and reattached hole rim along the whole circumference of macular hole. Closure was determined by SD-OCT evaluation and the percentage of subjects tabulated. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28, Day 180

Population: Missing data is imputed using the LOCF method. CFT values after a vitrectomy are imputed with the last non-missing value prior to the vitrectomy.

Central foveal thickness (CFT) was determined by subtracting the measurements in subretinal fluid (SRF) and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) elevation and/or subretinal hyper-reflective material (SHRM) from the value in total retinal measurement. The change was defined as a change from baseline values of CFT. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.
