Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Distribution of the Last Interval With no Disease Activity up to Week 32 - Study Eye
Up to Week 32

No disease activity is defined as no change in visual acuity and no change in other signs of the disease (e.g. Intraretinal Fluid (IRF), Subretinal Fluid (SRF), hemorrhage, leakage, etc.). Treatment interval distribution. Number (%) of subjects at 12/8/4-weeks intervals up to Week 32 for the study eye. If the study treatment is discontinued before Week 16, then the treatment interval is 4 weeks; otherwise. the last interval with no disease activity is used (if there was disease activity, the last interval is shortened by 4 weeks, down to a minimum of 4 weeks). If the duration of the last interval falls within the following ranges of (4-week, 8-week) or (8-week, 12-week) or ≥12-week then the floor value of these ranges was used.

Average Change From Baseline at Week 28 and Week 32 in Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) - Study Eye
Baseline, Week 28 and Week 32

BCVA was assessed using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity testing charts. Min and max possible scores are 0-100 respectively. A higher score represents better visual functioning. Least squares mean estimate - for weeks 28 and 32 combined.
