  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Proportion of Subjects Demonstrating ≥ 15 Letter Improvement From Baseline in Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) [2 months]

      Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) refers to the measurement of the best possible vision that can be achieved following refraction or correction. BCVA was assessed following the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol and was measured in the number of letters read correctly on an ETDRS eye chart. An increase from the pre-treatment state in BCVA of 15 letters or more represents a clinically meaningful improvement.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Mean Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity [6 months]

      Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) refers to the measurement of the best possible vision that can be achieved following refraction or correction. BCVA was assessed following the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol and was measured in the number of letters read correctly on an ETDRS eye chart. A positive change from baseline value represents an improvement in vision.

    2. Mean Change From Baseline in Central Subfield Thickness [6 months]

      Central subfield thickness (CST) is a diagnostic measurement used in identifying the presence of edema in the circular area 1 mm in diameter centered around the fovea. CST was measured using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). A masked reading center graded the SD-OCT digital images. A negative change from baseline value represents a reduction in macular edema.

    Eligibility Criteria

    Statistical Analysis 1
    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Active, Control
    Comments Based on a Pearson chi-square test, a total sample size of approximately 460 subjects provided 90% power to detect a difference of 15% between the Active and Control arms assuming the Control arm showed a proportion of 0.50 at 8 weeks. The primary analysis was a test of superiority of the Active arm over the Control arm, and was based on a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test stratified by type of retinal vein occlusion.
    Type of Statistical Test Superiority
    Comments
    Statistical Test of Hypothesis p-Value 0.187
    Comments The a priori threshold for statistical significance was 0.050. Prior to evaluating the results of the CMH test, a Breslow-Day test with Tarone's adjustment was conducted to confirm the homogeneity of the odds ratios between RVO strata.
    Method Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel
    Comments The CMH test was stratified by the type of retinal vein occlusion, i.e., branch vs. central.
    Method of Estimation Estimation Parameter Difference in percentages
    Estimated Value -6.1
    Confidence Interval (2-Sided) 95%

    Parameter Dispersion Type:
    Value:
    Estimation Comments Estimated value was calculated as the percentage of subjects in the Active arm meeting the primary endpoint minus the percentage of subjects in the Control arm meeting the primary endpoint.
