What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Primary Endpoint, VH 0 Response, Was Defined as Having a VH Score of 0 at Month 5
Time Frame: Day1 (Baseline) and Month 5 (Day150)

At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification

Vitreous Haze Scale Description VH score 0 = No inflammation

Day1 (Baseline) and Month 5 (Day150)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
VH 0 or 2-unit Response: Having a Reduction (Improvement) of at Least 2 Units From Baseline in VH Score or a VH Score of 0 at Month 5 (Modified SUN Scale)
Time Frame: Day1/Baseline and Day150/Month 5

At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification Vitreous Haze Scale Step Description 0 No inflammation 0.5+ Trace Inflammation (slight blurring of the optic disc margins and or loss of nerve fiber layer reflex)

  1. Mild blurring of the retinal vessels and optic nerve 1.5+ Optic nerve head and posterior retina view obstruction greater than 1+ but less than 2+
  2. Moderate blurring of the optic nerve head
  3. Marked blurring of the optic nerve head
  4. Optic Nerve head not visible
Day1/Baseline and Day150/Month 5
VH 0 or 0.5+ Response: Having a VH Score of 0 or 0.5+ at Month 5 (Modified SUN Scale)
Time Frame: Day1/Baseline and Day150/Month 5
At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification Vitreous Haze Scale Description VH score 0.5+=Trace Inflammation (slight blurring of the optic disc margins and or loss of nerve fiber layer reflex)
Day1/Baseline and Day150/Month 5

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
VH 0 Response at Month 6: Having a VH Score of 0 at Month 6 (Modified SUN Scale)
Time Frame: Day1/Baseline and Day180/Month 6

At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification

Vitreous Haze Scale Description VH score 0 = No inflammation

Day1/Baseline and Day180/Month 6
VH 0 or 2-unit Response at Month 6: Having a VH Score of 0 or a Decrease (Improvement) of at Least 2 Units From Baseline in VH Score at Month 6 (Modified SUN Scale)
Time Frame: Day1/Baseline and Day180/Month 6

At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification Vitreous Haze Scale Step Description 0 No inflammation 0.5+ Trace Inflammation (slight blurring of the optic disc margins and or loss of nerve fiber layer reflex)

  1. Mild blurring of the retinal vessels and optic nerve 1.5+ Optic nerve head and posterior retina view obstruction greater than 1+ but less than 2+
  2. Moderate blurring of the optic nerve head
  3. Marked blurring of the optic nerve head
  4. Optic Nerve head not visible
Day1/Baseline and Day180/Month 6
VH 0 or 0.5+ Response at Month 6: Having a VH Score of 0 or 0.5+ at Month 6 (Modified SUNscale)
Time Frame: Day1/Baseline and Day180/Month 6

At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used.
