PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to Week 12, 24 and 48 weeks

Ocular Safety is evaluated by incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs). Ocular TEAEs consisted of progression of disease or were related to the IVT injection component of the UBX1325 drug administration process

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12, 24 and 48

Population: MMRM Model for BCVA Change from Baseline (Hypothetical Strategy) Full Analysis Set. The hypothetical strategy included all subjects but excluded observations post-rescue. The Full Analysis Set includes all randomized subjects who received a single IVT treatment of UBX1325 or sham, have a baseline BCVA assessment, and at least one post-baseline BCVA assessment.

Best Corrected Visual Acuity was assessed using the ETDRS chart starting at 4 meters
