Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
307

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12
BCVA was measured in the study eye using an eye chart and was recorded as the number of letters read correctly for a total possible score of 0 to 100. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The higher the number of letters read correctly, the better the vision (or visual acuity) A positive change from Baseline (more letters read correctly) indicates improvement.
Baseline, Month 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Central Retinal Subfield Thickness Using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), a laser based non-invasive diagnostic system providing high-resolution imaging sections of the retina, was performed in the study eye after pupil dilation at Baseline and Month 12. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, Month 12
Percentage of Patients With 15-or-More Letter Improvement in BCVA
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12
BCVA was measured in the study eye using an eye chart and was recorded as the number of letters read correctly for a total possible score of 0 to 100. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The higher the number of letters read correctly, the better the vision (or visual acuity). An improvement in the number of letters read means that the vision has improved.
Baseline, Month 12
Percentage of Patients With a 15-or-More Letter Decrease in BCVA
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12
BCVA was measured in the study eye using an eye chart and was recorded as the number of letters read correctly for a total possible score of 0 to 100. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity).
Baseline, Month 12
Time to BCVA Improvement of 15-or-More Letters
Time Frame: 12 Months
BCVA was measured in the study eye using an eye chart and was recorded as the number of letters read correctly for a total possible score of 0 to 100. The time in days to BCVA improvement of 15-or-More letters.
12 Months
Change From Baseline in National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire-25 (VFQ-25)
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12
The VFQ-25 includes 25 vision-targeted questions plus one general health question which assess visual impairment on functioning and specific aspects of health-related quality of life for a total possible composite score of 0 (worst) to 100 (best functionality). A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, Month 12
Percentage of Participants Not Completing the Month 12 Visit Due to Treatment Failure
Time Frame: 12 Months
Treatment failure was defined as withdrawal of the participant from treatment or from the study by the investigator before the final visit because of a lack of efficacy.
