- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]Safety and Tolerability will be assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events and CTC v4.0 (if available, otherwise protocol defined grading were used)
- Phase 2a: Response Rate as Defined by Proportion of Participants Receiving Combination of OPT-302 and Aflibercept Achieving at Least a 5-letter Gain in BCVA Compared to Baseline at Week 12 According to ETDRS Criteria [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]BCVA will be measured according to Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Score (ETDRS) criteria
- Mean Change in BCVA [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]Mean change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA). BCVA will be measured according to Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Score (ETDRS) criteria
- Mean Change in CST [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]Mean change in central subfield thickness (CST) on spectral domain coherence tomography (SD-OCT)
