NCT ID: NCT02581995

Results Overview

National eye institute 25-item visual function questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) is a condition-specific measure which was designed to capture the specific impact of vision loss on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The calculation for NEI VFQ-25 sub-scale scores and total score was performed according to the "NEI VFQ-25 Scoring Algorithm - August 2000". The NEI VFQ-25 consists of a base set of 25 vision-targeted questions representing 11 vision-related constructs, plus an additional single-item general health rating question. All items are scored so that a high score represents better functioning. Each item is then converted to a 0 to 100 scale so that the lowest and highest possible scores are set at 0 and 100 points, respectively. In this format scores represent the achieved percentage of the total possible score, e.g. a score of 50 represents 50% of the highest possible score.

Participant Flow

Study was conducted at multiple study centers in 14 countries, between 19 November 2015 (first participant first visit) and 09 August 2017 (last participant last visit).

Overall, 676 participants were screened. Of them, 116 participants did not complete screening: 100 failed screening; 8 withdrew, 1 had an adverse event, 1 was lost to follow-up and 6 were not assigned to treatment for other reasons. A total of 560 participants were assigned to treatment and 31 participants discontinued the study prematurely.

NEI VFQ-25 is a condition-specific measure which was designed to capture the specific impact of vision loss on HRQoL. The calculation for NEI VFQ-25 sub-scale scores and total score was performed according to the "NEI VFQ-25 Scoring Algorithm - August 2000". Items within each sub-scale are averaged together to create the 12 sub-scale Scores. Items that are left blank (missing data) are not taken into account when calculating the scale scores. Sub-scales with at least one item answered can be used to generate a sub-scale score. Hence, scores represent the average for all items in the subscale that the respondent answered.The NEI VFQ-25 near activities subscale was scored from 0-100 with a score of 0 being the worst outcome and 100 being the best outcome. Near activities are defined as reading ordinary print in newspapers, performing work or hobbies requiring near vision, or finding something on a crowded shelf.

Retinal and lesion characteristics were evaluated using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). For all visits where the OCT procedure was scheduled, images were captured and read by the investigator. All OCTs were electronically archived at the study sites as part of the source documentation.

Population: SAF included all participants who received at least 1 injection of study drug. Participants who were evaluable for this measure at given time points for the arm were included in the categories.

Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured using applanation tonometry Goldmann, Tonopen or approved alternative). The same method of intraocular pressure measurement was used in each participant throughout the study. For the measurement of intraocular pressure, a local anesthetic combined with fluorescein was applied topically to the eye being tested (example: one drop of oxybuprocain plus fluorescein). In the below table, pre-injection intraocular pressure for study eye was reported.
