The randomised, sham-controlled, double-masked Phase IIIb OASIS trial has been conducted over a period of two years.
It was designed to determine the long-term safety and efficacy offered by JETREA to patients suffering from sVMA who were administered with JETREA through an injection.
sVMA describes a condition whereby the separation of the central gel vitreous in the eye is not completely detached from the retina.
Small portions of vitreous cling to the macula, which is the part of retina responsible to generate vision.
