- Number of Participants Who Experience a ≥10 Letter Improvement of Visual Acuity (VA) in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Chart From Baseline at Week 24: Double Masked Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ]Best-corrected visual acuity (VA) measurements were performed using retro-illuminated, modified Ferris-Bailey Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts.
- Change From Baseline in Visual Acuity (VA): Double Masked Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, 18, and 24 ]Changes in VA were monitored through refraction and best-corrected VA measurements using retro-illuminated, modified Ferris-Bailey ETDRS charts
- Number of Participants Underwent Focal/Grid Laser, or Vitrectomy: Double Masked Phase [ Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks ]Included focal laser photocoagulation, grid laser photocoagulation, and vitrectomy.

- Change From Baseline in Visual Acuity (VA): Open Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 30, 36, 42, 48 and 54 ]Changes in VA were monitored through refraction and best-corrected VA measurements using retro-illuminated, modified Ferris-Bailey Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts.
- Number of Participants Who Underwent Focal/Grid Laser, or Vitrectomy: Open Phase [ Time Frame: Weeks 24 to 54 ]Included focal laser photocoagulation, grid laser photocoagulation, and vitrectomy.
- Mean Visual Acuity Over Time at Each Time Point: Double Masked Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, 18, and 24 ]Best-corrected visual acuity (VA) measurements were performed using retro-illuminated, modified Ferris-Bailey Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts.
- Distribution of Change From Baseline of Visual Acuity (VA) at Each Time Point: Double Masked Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, 18, and 24 ]
Best-corrected VA measurements were performed using retro-illuminated, modified Ferris-Bailey ETDRS charts.
Change from baseline in VA was categorized as follows: Lost 15 letters or more; Lost 10 - 14 letters; Lost 1 - 9 Letters; No change or gained 1 - 9 letters; Gained 10 - 14 letters; Gained 15 letters or more.
- Number of Participants Who Experience a ≥10 Letter Improvement of Visual Acuity in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Chart From Baseline: Double Masked Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, 18, and 24 ]Best-corrected visual acuity (VA) measurements were performed using retro-illuminated, modified Ferris-Bailey Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts.
- Number of Participants Who Experience a ≥15, ≥5, or ≥0 Letter Improvement of Visual Acuity in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Chart From Baseline at Week 24: Double Masked Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ]Best-corrected visual acuity (VA) measurements were performed using retro-illuminated, modified Ferris-Bailey Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts.
- Number of Participants Exhibiting a Decrease From Baseline in Retinal Thickness at the Center Point by ≥25 Percent and ≥50 Percent Using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) at Week 24: Double Masked Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ]OCT, a noninvasive, noncontact, transpupillary imaging technology, was utilized to image retinal structures in vivo. The anatomic layers within the retina, retinal thickness could be measured.
- Change From Baseline in National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25) Composite Score/Sub-scale Score at Week 24: Double Masked Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ]
NEI-VFQ 25, Japanese version v.1.4 for self-administering questionnaires consisted of the base set of 25 questions and 12 subscale scores.
Response categories to each question were converted to a 0 to 100 scale so that the lowest and highest possible scores were set at 0 and 100 points, respectively. A higher score represented better functioning. Questions within each sub-scale were averaged together to create the 12 sub-scale scores. The overall composite score was calculated by averaging the vision-targeted subscale scores excluding the general health-rating question.
Positive change indicated improvement.
- Mean Visual Acuity Over Time at Each Time Point: Open Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 30, 36, 42, 48, and 54 ]Best-corrected visual acuity (VA) measurements were performed using retro-illuminated, modified Ferris-Bailey Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts.

- Number of Participants Exhibiting a Decrease From Baseline in Retinal Thickness at the Center Point by ≥25 Percent and ≥50 Percent Using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) at Week 54: Open Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 54 ]Retinal thickness was assessed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography or OCT3000, a non-invasive imaging technique that uses long-wavelength light to capture micrometer-resolution cross-sectional images from biological tissue.
