Schedule of study visits surrounding the 8 weeks of investigational product dosing.

1

Baseline Screening Visit could occur within 4 weeks prior to initiating therapy.

2

Demographic information collected at screening including medications taken within the preceding 30 days.

3

Intraocular pressure (IOP) testing was performed using Goldmann Tonometer.

4

Visual field testing was performed using SITA (Swedish Interactive Testing Algorithm) Standard.

5

Two fields on different days for a total of 3 before initiating treatment.

6

Three fields within 4 weeks until the end of treatment.

7

Three fields within 4 weeks until the end of follow-up.

8

Electroretinography (ERG) performed once at Therapy Initiation (Day 0) visit, at Week 8, at Week 12 and at Week 32.

9

At Day 0, patient was instructed on self-administering the drug at home.

10

At Week 4 and 8, subject was instructed to return all used and unused investigational product.

AE = Adverse event

BCVA = Best corrected visual acuity

ERG = Electroretinography

IOP = Intraocular pressure
