What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. PVD Induction

    The primary efficacy variable was the proportion of patients with total posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) on Day 14 as determined by a masked central reading center (CRC) using 4-quadrant B-scan and optical coherence tomography (OCT)

    Time frame: Day 14 post-injection
