PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 Weeks

Population: The safety analysis set included all enrolled participants.

The primary outcome is defined as any of the below occurring during the 6 weeks following administration, at least possibly related to the Advanced Therapy Investigational Medicinal Products (ATIMP), not surgery alone: * Reduction in visual acuity by 15 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters or more that fails to resolve to within 15 letters of baseline in a 4-week period once prophylactic treatment commences * Severe unresponsive inflammation * Infective endophthalmitis * Ocular malignancy * Grade III or above non-ocular Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction (SUSAR)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 Months

Population: All of the 11 participants performed the visual acuity assessment at baseline and Week 24.

Change from baseline to Week 24 in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart letter score. The direction of improvement from baseline is an increase in the number of ETDRS letters read over time.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 Months

Population: EQ-VAS data were available for 6 of the 9 children/adolescents enrolled in the study.

Change from baseline to Week 24 in EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) in children and adolescents. EQ-VAS uses a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst imaginable health state and 100 represents the best imaginable health state. A positive change from baseline reflects improvement and a negative reflects worsening.
