Any visit post-baseline (AVPB) value was derived using laboratory assessments performed at scheduled, unscheduled, and Early Withdrawal visits. Participants who had a shift from Baseline in their post-Baseline UCE values relative to the normal range, are presented in the "To high and To low" categories. Participants whose post-Baseline UCE values were unchanged (e.g., High to High) or whose value became normal, are presented in the "To normal or no change" category.

An event of P is defined as an increase of >=0.3 from Baseline in LOCS III grade for P in either eye at any time post-Baseline. Per LOC III, P ranges from 0.1 (clear or colorless) to 5.9 (very opaque). Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at the post-Baseline time point minus the value at Baseline.

The number of participants with a change from Baseline in IOP of <0 mmHg, >=0 to <4 mmHg, >=4 to <7 mmHg, >=7 to <11 mmHg, and >=11 mmHg are presented. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at the post-Baseline time point minus the value at Baseline.	Baseline; Week 28 and Week 52
Primary	Change From Baseline in Horizontal Cup-to-disc Ratio at Week 28 and Week 52	Funduscopic examination was performed at Baseline, Week 28, and Week 52 to measure the horizontal cup-to-disc ratio of both eyes. The horizontal cup-to-disc ratio is the ratio of the horizontal diameter of the physiological cup to that of the horizontal diameter of the optic disc. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at the post-Baseline time point minus the value at Baseline.	Baseline; Week 28 and Week 52

Primary	Change From Baseline in the Logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (LogMAR) Visual Acuity at Week 28 and Week 52	Visual acuity is defined as the acuteness or clearness of vision. The minimum angle of resolution (MAR) is the angle a viewed object subtends at the eye, usually stated in degrees/minutes of arc. Visual acuity was measured using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts in decimal numbers. The LogMAR scale is used to express the visual acuity in a linear scale as the logarithm to base 10 of the MAR. A lower score indicates better visual acuity; visual acuity decreases with an increasing score. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at the post-Baseline time point minus the value at Baseline.	Baseline; Week 28 and Week 52
Primary	Maximum Change From Baseline in the QT Interval Using Bazett's Correction (QTcB) and QT Interval Using Fridericia's Correction (QTcF)	The QT interval is an electrocardiogram (ECG) parameter that represents the electrical depolarization and repolarization of the left and right ventricles of the heart. The QT interval is a measure of the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the ECG. Corrected QT (QTc) is the QT interval corrected for heart rate by using Bazett's formula (QTcB) and Fridericia's formula (QTcF). 12-lead ECG measurements were perfomed at the following scheduled time points: Baseline; Week 2, Week 12, Week 28, and Week 52/Early Withdrawal. The Baseline value is defined as the value taken pre-dose at screening. The maximum post-Baseline value was derived using all scheduled, unscheduled, and Early Withdrawal ECG assessments. Maximum change from Baseline was calculated as the maximum post-Baseline value minus the value at Baseline.	Baseline; Week 2, Week 12, Week 28, and Week 52/Early Withdrawal
Primary	Mean 24 Hour Holter Heart Rate for Participants With at Least 16 Hours of Recorded Data	Twenty-four hour Holter monitors were obtained using a 12-lead Holter monitor. The Holter monitor is worn by the participant for 24 hours, and the monitor continuously records the heart's rhythm while the monitor is worn. At the end of the 24 hour period, the data from the monitor are downloaded and transmitted to the centralized vendor for analysis and interpretation by a licensed cardiologist.	0-24 hours at Screening, Day 1, Week 28, and Week 52
Primary	Maximum 24 Hour Holter Heart Rate for Participants With at Least 16 Hours of Recorded Data	Twenty-four hour Holter monitors were obtained using a 12-lead Holter monitor.
