Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Stable Vision at Week 52
Baseline to Week 52

Stable vision was defined as vision loss of fewer than 15 letters in Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) from baseline. BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly using the ETDRS Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. The percentage of participants with a BCVA loss of fewer than 15 letters are reported. Study eye was defined as the eye that meets the entry criteria. If both the eyes met all of the entry criteria, the eye with worse BCVA at baseline (Day 1) was selected. If BCVA values for both eyes were identical then participant had to select the non-dominant eye, or else right eye was selected as study eye.

Percentage of Participants With Stable Vision
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 28

Stable vision was defined as a loss of fewer than 15 letters in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) compared to baseline. BCVA was measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly using the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. The study eye was defined as the eye that meets the entry criteria. If both eyes met the entry criteria, the eye with the worse BCVA at baseline (Day 1) was selected as the study eye. If both eyes had same BCVA values at baseline (Day 1), then the participant had to select their non-dominant eye for treatment, or else the right eye was selected as the study eye.

Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in the Study Eye
Baseline, Week 16

BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase (positive number change from baseline) in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved and a decrease (negative number change from baseline) in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has worsened.

Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in the Study Eye at Week 16 Using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Scale
Baseline, Week 16

BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly using the ETDRS Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved.

Change from Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)
Baseline, Week 28
Highest Tolerated Dose (HTD) of AGN-150998
24 Weeks

Stage 1 evaluated the safety of a single intravitreal injection of AGN-150998 with doses ranging from 1.0 to 4.2 mg.

Stage 1: Change From Baseline in Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) in the Study Eye
Baseline, Week 4

CRT was assessed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), a non-invasive diagnostic system providing high-resolution imaging sections of the retina. SD-OCT was performed in the study eye after pupil dilation. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

Stage 2: Time Between Baseline Treatment and Recurrence of Active Disease
Baseline, Week 16

Recurrence of Active Disease was based on Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA), Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) values as evaluated by the Central Reading Center (CRC) and the investigator assessments of haemorrhage.

Stage 3: Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in the Study Eye
Baseline, Week 16

BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved.
