Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Observation of pharmacologic induction of PVD.90 daysThe primary endpoint of this study is observation of pharmacologic induction of at least a stage 3 PVD, with PVD defined as a complete PVD to the equator except for vitreopapillary adhesion as seen on B-scan Ultrasound and confirmed by OCT where possible by study day 90 as determined by the reading center.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The secondary endpoints of this study is the observation of a complete stage 4 PVD to the equator including vitreopapillary release as seen by B-scan ultrasound and confirmed by OCT where possible by study day 90 as determined by the reading center.90 daysThe secondary endpoints of this study is the observation of a complete stage 4 PVD to the equator including vitreopapillary release as seen by B-scan ultrasound and confirmed by OCT where possible by study day 90 as determined by the reading center.
