'Objective: to compare the effectiveness and costs of 1.25 mg bevacizumab to 0.5 mg ranibizumab, given as monthly intravitreal injections during 6 months.\n\nStudy Design: This will be a randomized, controlled, double masked, clinical trial in 296 patients in 7 academic trial centres in The Netherlands.\n\nStudy population: patients older than 18 years of age with macular edema secondary to a retinal vein occlusion and a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) score between 78 and 20 letters in the study eye.\n\nOutcomes: The primary outcome measure will be the change in BCVA in the study eye from baseline to month 6.\n\nSecondary outcomes will be amongst others the proportion of patients with a gain of 15 letters or more and/or a BCVA of 20/40 or more at 6 months and the costs per quality adjusted life-year of the two treatments'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria':

Known hypersensitivity to fluorescein, bevacizumab or ranibizumab or any component thereof or drugs of similar chemical classes;\n23. Any type of advanced, severe or unstable disease or its treatment, that may interfere with primary and/or secondary variable evaluations including any medical condition that could be expected to progress, recur, or change to such an extend that it may bias the assessment of the clinical status of the patient to a significant degree or put the patient at special risk;\n24. Ocular disorders in the study eye that may confound interpretation of study results, compromise visual acuity or require medical or surgical intervention during the 6 month study period, including cataract, retinal vascular occlusion, retinal detachment, macular hole, or choroidal neovascularisation of any cause (e.g., AMD, ocular histoplasmosis, or pathologic myopia);\n25.
