Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Number of participants with ocular and nonocular adverse events
Day 1 to Day 60

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence (e.g. any unfavorable and unintended sign \[including abnormal laboratory findings\], symptom or disease) in a clinical investigation participant after providing written informed consent for participation in the study.

Change from baseline in Best Correct Visual Acuity (BCVA ) by dose level and timepoint - Study Eye
Day 1 to Day 60

Best Correct Visual Acuity was assessed using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity testing charts.

Change from baseline in Central subfield thickness (CSFT) (µm) in the study eye by dose level and timepoint
Day 1 to Day 60

Central subfield thickness was measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Change from baseline in Intraocular pressure (IOP) (mmHg) in the study eye by dose level and timepoint
Day 1 to Day 60

Intraocular pressure was measured per the sites' local standard operating procedures, via tonometry.
