What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Meeting the Primary Outcome Defined as Any of the Below Events Occurring During the 6 Weeks Following Administration, at Least Possibly Related to the Advanced Therapy Investigational Medicinal Products (ATIMP), Not Surgery Alone.

    The primary outcome is defined as any of the below occurring during the 6 weeks following administration, at least possibly related to the Advanced Therapy Investigational Medicinal Products (ATIMP), not surgery alone: * Reduction in visual acuity by 15 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters or more that fails to resolve to within 15 letters of baseline in a 4-week period once prophylactic treatment commences * Severe unresponsive inflammation * Infective endophthalmitis * Ocular malignancy * Grade III or above non-ocular Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction (SUSAR)

    Time frame: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Improvements in Visual Function as Assessed by Visual Acuity

    Change from baseline to Week 24 in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart letter score in the treated eye. The direction of improvement from baseline is an increase in the number of ETDRS letters read over time.

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. Improvements in Retinal Function as Assessed by Static Perimetry

    Change from baseline to Week 24 in mean retinal sensitivity in the treated eye. The direction of improvement is an increase in sensitivity.

    Time frame: 6 months

  3. Quality of Life Measured by QoL Questionnaires in Children and Adolescents

    Change from baseline to Week 24 in EuroQol-5D-Y Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) in children and adolescents. EQ-VAS uses a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst imaginable health state and 100 represents the best imaginable health state. A positive change from baseline reflects improvement and a negative change from baseline reflects worsening.

    Time frame: 6 months

  4. Quality of Life Measured by QoL Questionnaires in Adults

    Change from baseline to Week 24 in EuroQol-5D-5L Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) in adults. EQ-VAS uses a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst imaginable health state and 100 represents the best imaginable health state. A positive change from baseline reflects improvement and a negative change from baseline reflects worsening.

    Time frame: 6 Months
