Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Binocular Distance-corrected Near Visual Acuity (DCNVA) From Baseline

    Change from baseline in binocular DCNVA in subjects aged 45 to 55 years at Month 3 after UNR844-Cl or placebo treatment. Low contrast (10% contrast) DCNVA at 40 cm is measured binocularly using an electronic visual acuity testing system. This assessment was performed with subjects corrected for any distance refractive errors. The system provided distance-corrected low contrast near visual acuity in an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter numerical score. High monocular DCNVA ETDRS letter scores represent good vision; Low monocular DCNVA ETDRS letter scores represent poor vision.

    Baseline and at Month 3

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Number and Percentage of Subjects Aged 45 to 55 Years Achieving 75 or More Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Letters in Binocular DCNVA at Month 3

    month 3

  • Number of Subjects With Adverse Events, Ocular Adverse Events, Deaths, Other Serious Adverse Events, or Adverse Events Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation
