A Study Investigating the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Elamipretide Topical Ophthalmic Solution for the Treatment of Fuchs' Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy (FCED)

Change from Baseline in Central Corneal Thickness by Visit as measured by Pachymetry for Part A. Part B is reported as a separate outcome measure.

Central Corneal Thickness: by-subject data as measured by Pachymetry and Pentacam. Part A is reported as a separate outcome measure.

Change From Baseline in Endothelial Cell Hexagonality in Percentage Over All 12 Weeks for Part A. Specular microscopy is a noninvasive photographic technique that allows visualization and analyzation the corneal endothelium. Using computer-assisted morphometry, specular microscopes analyzes the size, shape and population of the endothelial cells. Histologically, healthy corneal cells initially have a hexagonal shape. As endothelial cells die, neighboring cells enlarge to cover the empty space once occupied by the cell. This, in turn, causes the remaining cells to lose their hexagonal shape. Assessments were performed using the flex center and full auto methods for Part A and data from the flex center method was summarized. The flex center method was used for Part B. The percent of Part B is entered as a separate outcome measure. A decrease from baseline in % cell hexagonality means worse outcome, a increase from baseline means better outcome.

Corneal Endothelial Cell Hexagonality in Percentage by-subject data: Part B. Data was only listed in weeks where images were good enough quality to quantify.

Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using the using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) scale by visit. ETDRS charts present a series of five letters of equal difficulty on each row, with standardized spacing between letters and rows; there is a total of 14 lines (70 letters), with letter size increasing further geometrically and equivalently in every line by a factor of 1.2589 (or 0.1 log unit), moving up the chart. Minimum score of zero, maximum score of 100. Change from baseline: a more negative score is worse outcome, a more positive score is better outcome. A lower score means less letters were read correctly (worse outcome) and a higher score means more letters were read correctly (better outcome). Part B was listed separately.

Change From Baseline in Endothelial Cell Counts, or density (Counts/mm\^2) over all 12 weeks for Part A. Part B is entered as a separate outcome measure.

Corneal Endothelial Cell Density: Part B, By-subject data for all time points where images were readable. For all time points where there were "Poor Quality Images" or "too few cells to register", there were no data available, and these were not listed below.

Change From Baseline in Endothelial Cell Coefficient of Variation Over All 12 Weeks. Coefficient of variation (CV) is Standard deviation (SD) of cell area divided by the mean cell area of endothelial cell analyzed. CV represents the coefficient, or degree, of variation in the sizes of the endothelial cells (polymegethism). By measuring the variation in size between endothelial cells, the system can measure how much cell loss is occurring. The more variation, the worse the outcome. Part B is is entered as a separate outcome measure.

Part B, By-subject data for all time points where images were readable. For all time points where there were "Poor Quality Images" or "too few cells to register" there were no data available. CoV represents the coefficient, or degree, of variation in the sizes of the endothelial cells. By measuring the variation in size between endothelial cells, the system can measure how much cell loss is occurring. A CoV less than 40 is normal.

Change from Baseline in corneal area affected by microcysts by visit for Part A.

Corneal area affected by microcysts: by-subject data for Part B. No microcysts were present for any timepoints.

Count of participants in number, size and location of bullae by treatment. Part B is listed separately.

Number, size and location of Corneal bullae: By-subject data: Part B.

Change from baseline in severity of corneal stromal folds by visit. Descriptive assessment made by Investigator; severity is not assessed using a scale.

Severity of corneal stromal folds by-subject data by visit. Descriptive assessment made by Investigator in the following categories: Not present, trace, mild.

Change from Baseline in contrast sensitivity over all 12 weeks log score at 3, 6, 12, 18 cycles per degree (cpd) using Vector Vision's CSV-1000E. Standard tables for the VectorVision's CSV-1000E model were used to convert linear results to the log values. Lower log scores equals lower contrast sensitivity and worse outcome. Higher log scores mean higher contrast sensitivity and better outcome. For 3cpd, range is 0.7-2.08; 6 cpd: 0.91-2.29; 12 cpd: 0.61-1.99; 18cpd: 0.17-1.55, unless no gratings were visible. If no gratings were visible, .3 log was subtracted from the lowest score for 3, 6, and 12cpd. For 18cpd .01 log was used, or essentially 100% contrast.
