Outcome results

Primary

Mean Change in Number of Points Seen on the Leicester Peripheral Field Test (LPFT) in RVL-1201 Group vs. Vehicle Group

LPFT Total Score is the number of points seen in the top 4 rows on the LPFT. Possible scores range from 0 (no points seen) to 35 (all points seen).

Time frame: Mean change from Baseline (Day 1, Hour 0) compared with Day 1, (Hour 6), and Day 14 (Hour 2)

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population: randomized who received at least one dose. Per-Protocol Population (PPP): ITT population with no major protocol deviations (eleven subjects were excluded). ITT analysis was conducted for the primary endpoint, with Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) for missing data.

Comparison: A two group t-test with a 0.05 two-sided significance level had 90% power to detect a difference in LPFT means of 3.50 assuming that the common standard deviation was 6.0, when the sample sizes in the 2 groups were 94 and 47, respectively (a total sample size of 141).p-value: <0.0001ANCOVA

Mean Change From Baseline in Marginal Reflex Distance (MRD) in the Study Eye

The Marginal Reflex Distance (MRD) is the distance from the center pupillary light reflex to the central margin of the upper eyelid. The MRD is measured from an external photograph using a handheld caliper and a millimeter ruler label placed on the subject's forehead as a measurement legend.

Time frame: Baseline Day 1 (Hour 0) and Day 1, Day 14, and Day 42

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population: randomized who received at least one dose. Per-Protocol Population (PPP): ITT population with no major protocol deviations (eleven subjects were excluded). ITT analysis was conducted for the primary endpoint, with Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) for missing data.
