Brief Summary:
This was a Phase IV multicenter, randomized, open-label study, with masking of the vision examiner, of the efficacy and safety of intravitreal ranibizumab 0.5 mg in subjects with macular edema following Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) or Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO).
Detailed Description:
This study consisted of 2 study periods, a 7-month fixed treatment period, followed by an 8-month alternate dose regimen period. Subjects could receive up to a maximum of 15 monthly injections of ranibizumab 0.5 mg during the study, 7 injections (Day 0 and at 6 monthly visits) in the fixed treatment period and a maximum of 8 injections in the alternate dose regimen period. During the fixed treatment period, subjects received 7 monthly intravitreal ranibizumab 0.5 mg injections. During the alternate dose regimen period, from Month 7 through Month 14, subjects were evaluated monthly to determine whether they achieved the study-specific visual acuity and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (VA-OCT) stability criteria. Subjects continued to receive monthly ranibizumab 0.5 mg monthly injections until the VA-OCT stability criteria were first met. Upon meeting the VA-OCT stability criteria for the first time during the alternate dose regimen period, subjects were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of 2 dose regimens, the PRN (pro re nata, "as-needed") or the Monthly regimen.
PRN randomized subjects: Subjects received no injection at the randomization visit and at future monthly visits where the VA-OCT stability criteria were met and received a ranibizumab 0.5 mg injection at future monthly visits if the VA-OCT stability criteria were not met.
Monthly randomized subjects: Subjects continued to receive ranibizumab 0.5 mg injections at each monthly visit.
Monthly non-randomized subjects: Subjects who did not meet the VA-OCT stability criteria at any month from Month 7 through Month 14 were not randomized and received 8 monthly intravitreal ranibizumab 0.5 mg injections.
