Study Summary

This study was intended to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of atacicept compared to placebo and to explore the neuroprotective effect of atacicept as assessed by OCT in subjects with ON as CIS. The study was randomized. Study medication was administered via subcutaneous (under the skin) injections.

Primary Outcome

The RNFL thickness was measured for 12 sectors (every 30 degrees) per eye in triplicate by optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements and were then averaged over 12 sectors. The change in RNFL thickness at LOV visit was calculated as RNFL thickness at LOV minus RNFL thickness at baseline.
