Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score at the Average of Week 36 and Week 40, as Assessed Using the ETDRS Visual Acuity Chart at a Starting Distance of 4 Meters [ Time Frame: Baseline, and the average of Week 36 and Week 40 ]

    The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in BCVA score from baseline averaged over Weeks 36 and 40 with BCVA assessed using the ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters. ETDRS = Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study.

    The primary objective is to determine the NI and equivalence between the two treatment groups, as measured by the primary efficacy endpoint with a NI margin of 4.5 letters and equivalence margins of ± 4.5 letters.

    A vision score of 20/20 vision is considered normal. A score of 20/200 is considered being legally blind.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in BCVA Score Averaged Over Week 60 and Week 64 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week60, Week 64 ]
  2. Change From Baseline in BCVA Score Over Time [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 96 ]
  3. Percentage of Participants With BCVA Score of 38 Letters (20/200 Approximate Snellen Equivalent) or Worse at the Average Over Week 36 and Week 40 [ Time Frame: Baseline, and the average of Week 36 and Week 40 ]
  4. Percentage of Participants With BCVA Score of 38 Letters (20/200 Approximate Snellen Equivalent) or Worse Over Time [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 96 ]
  5. Percentage of Participants With BCVA Score of 69 Letters (20/40 Approximate Snellen Equivalent) or Better at the Average Over Week 36 and Week 40 [ Time Frame: Baseline, and the average of Week 36 and Week 40 ]
  6. Percentage of Participants With BCVA Score of 69 Letters (20/40 Approximate Snellen Equivalent) or Better Over Time [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 96 ]
  7. Percentage of Participants Who Lose <10 or <5 Letters in BCVA Score From Baseline to the Average Over Week 36 and Week 40 [ Time Frame: Baseline, and the average of Week 36 and Week 40 ]
  8. Percentage of Participants Who Lose <10 or <5 Letters in BCVA Score From Baseline Over Time [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 96 ]
  9. Percentage of Participants Who Gain ≥0 Letters in BCVA Score From Baseline to the Average Over Week 36 and Week 40 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 40 ]
  10. Percentage of Participants Who Gain ≥0 Letters in BCVA Score From Baseline Over Time [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 96 ]
  11. Change From Baseline in Center Point Thickness (CPT) at Week 36 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 36 ]
  12. Change From Baseline in CPT Over Time [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 96 ]
  13. Percentage of Participants in the PDS Implant Arm Who Undergo Supplemental Treatment With Intravitreal Ranibizumab 0.5 mg Before the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Fixed Refill-Exchange Intervals [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 24, Week 25 to Week 48, Week 49 to Week 72, Week73 to Week 96 ]
  14. Percentage of Participants in the PDS Implant Arm Who Undergo a Supplemental Treatment That Requires Subsequent Additional Supplemental Treatments During the Study [ Time Frame: Week 16 to Week 92 ]
  15. Percentage of Participants With Ocular and Systemic (Non-Ocular) AEs [ Time Frame: Randomization to Week 96 ]
  16. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest [ Time Frame: Randomization to Week 96 ]
    Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events of Special Interest

  17. Observed Serum Ranibizumab Concentrations at Specified Timepoints [ Time Frame: Randomization to Week 96 ]
  18. Estimated PK Parameter Values AUC0-6M [ Time Frame: Randomization to Week 96 ]
    AUC0-6M = Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From 0 to 6 Months

  19. Estimated PK Parameter Value t1/2 After PDS Implant Insertion [ Time Frame: Randomization to Week 96 ]
    Apparent terminal half-life

  20. Estimated PK Parameter Value Cmin [ Time Frame: Randomization to Week 96 ]
    Cmin = Minimum Serum Concentration

  21. Estimated PK Parameter Value Cmax [ Time Frame: Randomization to Week 96 ]
    Cmax = Maximum Serum Concentration

  22. Baseline Prevalence and Incidence of Treatment-Emergent ADA [ Time Frame: Randomization to Week 96 ]
