1.Primary Outcome
Title Mean Reduction From Baseline in Central Subfield (CSF) Retinal Thickness at Week 4
Hide Description The thickness of the retina was measured using a non-invasive device that produces cross-sectional and 3D images of the eye. The reduction was calculated by subtracting Week 4 visit value from the Baseline value. A positive number indicates a reduction in thickness compared to baseline, whereas a negative number indicates an increase in thickness. An increase in thickness as compared to baseline may indicate a progression of the underlying disease.
Time Frame Week 4
Hide Outcome Measure Data
Hide Analysis Population Description

2.Primary Outcome
Title Incidence of Events of Special Interest (ESI)
Hide Description An ESI was a protocol-specified event of scientific and medical concern specific to the Sponsor's product or program where ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the Investigator to the Sponsor was appropriate. These adverse events could have been serious or nonserious and may have required further investigation in order to characterize and understand.

Time Frame Adverse events were collected for the duration of the study. This reporting group includes all randomized subjects who received study medication.
Adverse Event Reporting Description An adverse event was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient who was administered a study treatment regardless of whether or not the event had a causal relationship with the treatment. Adverse events were obtained as solicited comments from the study patients and as observations by the Investigator as outlined in the study protocol.
