Average Change From Baseline in BCVA (Letters Read) Over the Period Week 36 Through Week 48 - Study Eye
BCVA (with spectacles or other visual corrective devices) was assessed using ETDRS testing at 4 meters and reported in letters read correctly. For each subject, this endpoint was defined as the average of the changes from baseline to Weeks 36, 40, 44, and 48. Baseline was defined as the last measurement prior to first treatment. An increase (gain) in letters read from the baseline assessment indicates improvement. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.
Proportion of Subjects With Positive q12 (Every 12 Weeks) Treatment Status at Week 48
Positive q12 treatment status was defined as IVT injections per planned dosing regimen (one injection every 12 weeks "q12w", after the initial three loading injections every 4 weeks "q4w"). A disease activity assessment (DAA) was performed at pre-specified visits (Weeks 16, 20, 28, 32, 40, 44) to identify q8w (one injection every 8 weeks) need. The estimate for the proportion of subjects with a positive q12w status at Week 48 were derived from Kaplan-Meier time to event analyses for the event of first q8w need, applying event allocations (in case of lack of efficacy and/or lack of safety=efficacy/safety approach) and censoring as described in the SAP. Censored subjects were considered to be not anymore under risk for a q8 need identification at later visits. Corresponding 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) were derived from the LOGLOG transformation. No hypothesis testing was performed. This outcome measure was pre-specified for brolucizumab 3mg and 6 mg arms only.

The National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (VFQ-25) is a validated questionnaire that collects 25 vision-targeted responses from age-related macular degeneration (AMD) subjects. The 25 questions pertain to global vision rating (1), difficulty with near vision activities (3), difficulty with distance vision activities (3), limitations in social functioning due to vision (2), role limitations due to vision (2), dependency on others due to vision (3), mental health symptoms due to vision (4), driving difficulties (3), limitations with peripheral (1) and color vision (1), and ocular pain (2). Each response is converted to a 0 to 100 sub-scale, with the lowest and highest possible scores set at 0 and 100 points, respectively. The overall composite score (0 to 100) is obtained by averaging the 25 sub-scale scores. A high score represents better functioning.
