Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

Safety and tolerability was assessed by vital signs, clinical laboratory evaluations, ophthalmological examinations, intraocular pressure, the presence of anti-drug antibodies and the collection of adverse events. An adverse event was considered any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Preexisting conditions that worsened during the study were reported as adverse events.

Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)

BCVA was measured using an eye chart and was reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye at Baseline and Week 16. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The higher the letters read correctly on the eye chart the better the vision.

Change From Baseline in Foveal Thickness as Measured by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), a laser based non-invasive diagnostic system providing high-resolution imaging sections of the fovea (part of the retina), was performed in the study eye after pupil dilation at Baseline and Week 16. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement (less foveal thickness).

Serum Levels of MP0112

Blood samples were collected Pre-treatment (Baseline), Day 1 and 3, Weeks 1, 4, 12, 16. Serum samples (liquid portion of the blood after cells and clotting factors were removed) were sent to a laboratory for analysis. Levels of MP0112 were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
