  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Peak Serum Concentration (CMax) for Free and VEGF-Bound Abicipar [Treatment Group 1: Baseline to Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline to Week 12]

    2. Serum Concentration Immediately before Next Dose (Ctrough) for Free and VEGF-Bound Abicipar [Treatment Group 1: Baseline to Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline to Week 12]

    3. Time to Cmax (Tmax) for Free and VEGF-Bound Abicipar [Treatment Group 1: Baseline to Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline to Week 12]

    4. Terminal Elimination Half-Life (t1/2) for Free and VEGF-Bound Abicipar [Treatment Group 1: Baseline to Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline to Week 12]

    5. Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve from Zero to the End of the Dosing Interval "tau" (AUC0-tau) for Free and VEGF-Bound Abicipar [Treatment Group 1: Baseline to Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline to Week 12]

    6. Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve from Zero to Infinity (AUC0-inf) for Free and VEGF-Bound Abicipar [Treatment Group 1: Baseline to Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline to Week 12]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Serum Levels of Anti-abicipar Antibodies [Treatment Group 1: Baseline to Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline to Week 12]

    2. Percentage of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events [Treatment Group 1: Baseline to Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline to Week 12]

    3. Best Corrected Visual Acuity using an Eye Chart [Treatment Group 1: Baseline to Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline to Week 12]

    4. Percentage of Participants with Change from Baseline in Full Ophthalmic Exam Findings [i.e. Slit Lamp Exam, Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Measurements, Funduscopic Exam] [Treatment Group 1: Baseline, Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline, Week 12]

    5. Changes from Baseline in General Physical Condition as Measured through General Physical Exam [Treatment Group 1: Baseline, Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline, Week 12]

    6. Percentage of Participants with Changes from Baseline in Vital Signs (Blood Pressure, Pulse Rate) [Treatment Group 1: Baseline, Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline, Week 12]

    7. Percentage of Participants with Change from Baseline in Clinically Relevant Laboratory Values (Serum Chemistry, Hematology, Urinalysis) [Treatment Group 1: Baseline, Week 20 and Treatment Group 2: Baseline, Week 12]
