Read full original descriptionShow less
1. Are adverse events observed during the treatment period and if so, what are their severity? 2. What is the change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) test using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) acuity chart from baseline to Day 29? 3. What is the change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) from baseline to Day 29?
The expected study duration for each patient will be up to 6 weeks including up to 1 week for screening, a 4-week treatment period and a 1-week safety follow-up period. Patients will be administered Oftac 0.05% eye drops four (4) times every day, for up to six weeks.
