Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The Primary Endpoint, VH 0 Response, Was Defined as Having a VH Score of 0 at Month 5 [ Time Frame: Day1 (Baseline) and Month 5 (Day150) ]

    At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification

    Vitreous Haze Scale Description VH score 0 = No inflammation



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. VH 0 or 2-unit Response: Having a Reduction (Improvement) of at Least 2 Units From Baseline in VH Score or a VH Score of 0 at Month 5 (Modified SUN Scale) [ Time Frame: Day1/Baseline and Day150/Month 5 ]

    At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification Vitreous Haze Scale Step Description 0 No inflammation 0.5+ Trace Inflammation (slight blurring of the optic disc margins and or loss of nerve fiber layer reflex)

    1. Mild blurring of the retinal vessels and optic nerve 1.5+ Optic nerve head and posterior retina view obstruction greater than 1+ but less than 2+
    2. Moderate blurring of the optic nerve head
    3. Marked blurring of the optic nerve head
    4. Optic Nerve head not visible

  2. VH 0 or 0.5+ Response: Having a VH Score of 0 or 0.5+ at Month 5 (Modified SUN Scale) [ Time Frame: Day1/Baseline and Day150/Month 5 ]
    At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification Vitreous Haze Scale Description VH score 0.5+=Trace Inflammation (slight blurring of the optic disc margins and or loss of nerve fiber layer reflex)


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. VH 0 Response at Month 6: Having a VH Score of 0 at Month 6 (Modified SUN Scale) [ Time Frame: Day1/Baseline and Day180/Month 6 ]

    At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification

    Vitreous Haze Scale Description VH score 0 = No inflammation


  2. VH 0 or 2-unit Response at Month 6: Having a VH Score of 0 or a Decrease (Improvement) of at Least 2 Units From Baseline in VH Score at Month 6 (Modified SUN Scale) [ Time Frame: Day1/Baseline and Day180/Month 6 ]

    At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification Vitreous Haze Scale Step Description 0 No inflammation 0.5+ Trace Inflammation (slight blurring of the optic disc margins and or loss of nerve fiber layer reflex)

    1. Mild blurring of the retinal vessels and optic nerve 1.5+ Optic nerve head and posterior retina view obstruction greater than 1+ but less than 2+
    2. Moderate blurring of the optic nerve head
    3. Marked blurring of the optic nerve head
    4. Optic Nerve head not visible

  3. VH 0 or 0.5+ Response at Month 6: Having a VH Score of 0 or 0.5+ at Month 6 (Modified SUNscale) [ Time Frame: Day1/Baseline and Day180/Month 6 ]

    At each visit, slit-lamp biomicroscopy was used to assess VH and opacification. For slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a contact or non-contact lens could have been used. The modified SUN scale for VH was used to measure VH and opacification Vitreous Haze Scale Step Description 0 No inflammation 0.5+ Trace Inflammation (slight blurring of the optic disc margins and or loss of nerve fiber layer reflex)

    2. Moderate blurring of the optic nerve head
    3. Marked blurring of the optic nerve head
    4. Optic Nerve head not visible
