Measure Description: The Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) is a slit lamp based opacification grading method. Photographs of slit lamp cross-sections of the lens are used as references for grading nuclear opalescence (NO) and nuclear color (NC), and photographs of the lens seen by retroillumination are used as references for grading cortical (C) and posterior subcapsular (P) cataract. Opacification severity is graded on a decimal scale, scores can range from 0.1 to 6.9 for NO and NC and from 0.1 to 5.9 for C and P. For each opacification type the higher grading scores indicate greater severity.

Title Percentage of Participants With a Decrease From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) of ≥ 10 Letters
Hide Description

The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) is the best vision one can achieve with correction (such as eye glasses) as measured on an eye chart. BCVA was assessed by a trained ophthalmologist using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) eye chart at 4 meters. The modified University of Crete ETDRS chart was used in Ukraine, Greece, Russia and Bulgaria, which do not use the Roman alphabet. The 2000 series revised ETDRS chart was used to assess the change in all other countries.

The letter score was calculated based on the number of letters that were correctly identified; higher letter scores correspond to better visual acuity.

Certain Agreements
Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.
There IS an agreement between Principal Investigators and the Sponsor (or its agents) that restricts the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.
The Clinical Trial Agreement generally does not restrict an investigator's discussion of trial results after completion. The Agreement permits Amgen a limited period of time to review material discussing trial results (typically up to 45 days and possible extension). Amgen may remove confidential information, but authors have final control and approval of publication content. For multicenter studies, the investigator agrees not to publish any results before the first multi-center publication.
