Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in GA Area in Complement Factor I (CFI) Positive and Negative Participants at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

For CFI profile, positive or negative biomarker status refers to the presence (carrier) or absence of the risk allele at CFI and at least one risk allele at complement factor H (CFH) or risk locus containing both complement component 2 and complement factor B (C2/CFB).The change in GA lesion area was measured by FAF and analysis of FAF images was performed by the central reading center. A positive change from baseline indicates an increase in size of GA lesion area (worsening; disease progression).

Change From Baseline in Geographic Atrophy (GA) Area, as Assessed by Fundus Autofluoresence (FAF) at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

The change in GA lesion area was measured by FAF and analysis of FAF images was performed by the central reading center. A positive change from baseline indicates an increase in size of GA lesion area (worsening; disease progression).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Less Than 15 Letters Loss From Baseline in BCVA Score at Week 48Week 48

Loss of less than 15 letters from baseline was assessed by the ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters (m). BCVA was measured using an eye chart and was reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters). The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.

Change From Baseline in Monocular Maximum Reading Speed as Assessed by MNRead Charts or Radner Reading Charts at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

MNRead acuity cards were continuous-text reading-acuity cards suitable for measuring the reading acuity and reading speed of normal and low-vision participants. The MNRead acuity cards consisted of single, simple sentences with equal numbers of characters. A stopwatch was used to record time to a tenth of a second. Sentences that could not be read or were not attempted due to vision should be recorded as 0 for time and 10 for errors. The Radner Reading Cards were suitable for measuring reading speed, reading visual acuity, and critical print size. The reading test was stopped when the reading time was longer than 20 seconds or when the participant was making severe errors. A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the monocular reading speed; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.

Change From Baseline in Number of Absolute Scotomatous Points as Assessed by Mesopic Micrometry at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

Scotomatous points were the testing points on microperimetry examination that were centered on the macula and reported a lack of retinal sensitivity within the range tested, a maximum of 68 points were tested within this range. Higher results indicate expansion of absolute scotoma and higher number of abolute scotomatous points. Mesopic microperimetry assessments were performed post-dilation on the study eye only, and the data was forwarded to the central reading center. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study. A positive change from baseline indicates an increase in the number of absolute scotomatous points (more lack of retinal sensitivity); disease worsening.

Change From Baseline in Mean Macular Sensitivity as Assessed by Mesopic Microperimetry at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

Mesopic microperimetry was used to assess macular sensitivity and assessments were performed post-dilation on the study eye only, and the data was forwarded to the central reading center. A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the mean macular sensitivity; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.

Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score as Assessed by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Chart at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

BCVA score was based on the number of letters read correctly on the ETDRS visual acuity chart assessed at a starting distance of 4 meters (m). BCVA score testing was performed prior to dilating the eyes. BCVA score ranges from 0 to 100 letters in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the visual acuity; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.

Change From Baseline in Low Luminance Visual Acuity (LLVA) as Assessed by ETDRS Chart Under Low Luminance Conditions at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

The LLVA was measured by placing a 2.0-log-unit neutral density filter over the best correction for that eye and having the participant read the normally illuminated ETDRS chart. The assessment was performed prior to dilating the eyes. LLVA score ranges from 0 to 100 letters in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.

Percentage of Participants With Less Than 15 Letters Loss From Baseline in LLVA Score at Week 48Week 48

Loss of less than 15 letters from baseline was assessed by the ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 m. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.

Change From Baseline in Binocular Reading Speed as Assessed by Minnesota Low-Vision Reading Test (MNRead) Charts or Radner Reading Charts at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

MNRead acuity cards were continuous-text reading-acuity cards suitable for measuring the reading acuity and reading speed of normal and low-vision participants. The MNRead acuity cards consisted of single, simple sentences with equal numbers of characters. A stopwatch was used to record time to a tenth of a second. Sentences that could not be read or were not attempted due to vision should be recorded as 0 for time and 10 for errors. The Radner Reading Cards were suitable for measuring reading speed, reading visual acuity, and critical print size. The reading test was stopped when the reading time was longer than 20 seconds or when the participant was making severe errors. A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the binocular reading speed; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.

Change From Baseline in National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire 25-item (NEI VFQ-25) Version Composite Score at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

NEI-VFQ-25 questionnaire included 25 items based on which overall composite VFQ score and 12 subscales were derived: near activities, distance activities, general health,general vision, ocular pain, vision-specific social functioning, vision-specific mental health, vision-specific role difficulties, vision-specific dependency, driving, color vision and peripheral vision. Response to each question converted to 0-100 score. Each subscale, total score=average of items contributing to score. For each subscale and total score, score range: 0 to 100, a higher score represents better functioning. A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the visual functioning; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.

Change From Baseline in NEI VFQ-25 Near Activity Subscale Score at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

NEI-VFQ-25 questionnaire included 25 items based on which near activities were measured. Near activities are defined as reading ordinary print in newspapers, performing work or hobbies requiring near vision, or finding something on a crowded shelf. Response to each question converted to 0-100 score. Subscale=average of items contributing to score. For this subscale the score range is 0 to 100, a higher score represents better functioning. A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the near visual activities; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.

Change From Baseline in NEI VFQ-25 Distance Activity Subscale Score at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

NEI-VFQ-25 questionnaire included 25 items based on which distance activities were measured. Distance activities are defined as reading street signs or names on stores, and going down stairs, steps, or curbs. Response to each question converted to 0-100 score. Subscale=average of items contributing to score. For this subscale the score range is 0 to 100, a higher score represents better functioning. A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the distance visual activities; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.

Change From Baseline in Mean Functional Reading Independence (FRI) Index at Week 48Baseline, Week 48

The FRI was an interviewer-administered questionnaire with 7 items on functional reading activities most relevant to GA AMD participants. It has one total index score. For each FRI Index reading activity performed in the past 7 days, participants were asked about the extent to which they required vision aids, adjustments in the activity, or help from another participant. Mean FRI Index scores range from 1 to 4, with higher scores indicating greater independence. A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in the FRI; disease worsening. The data was collected up to Week 48 instead of Week 96, due to early termination of the study.
