Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Diagnosis of branch retinal vein occlusion in at least one eye
- •Visual acuity between 20/400 to 20/40
Exclusion Criteria
- •Active eye infection
- •Ocular hypertension which is not controlled on monotherapy (one medication)
- •Anticipated need for eye surgery during the study
- •Cataract surgery in either eye within 3 months
- •Eye surgery including laser of any type within 6 months
- •Anti-VEGF treatment in either eye (eg, Lucentis®) within 3 months or systemic anti-VEGF treatment (eg, Avastin) within 6 months
- •Use of ocular steroids within 3 months
- •Use of steroids (except for inhaled or intranasal) within 1 month or anticipated use during the study
Arms & Interventions
Ozurdex®
Injection of Ozurdex® (dexamethasone intravitreal implant) into the study eye on Day 1 and Month 5. Patients may receive up to one additional treatment, thereafter.
Intervention: dexamethasone intravitreal implant
Lucentis®
Injection of Lucentis® (ranibizumab) into the study eye on Day 1 and monthly for five months. Patients will receive additional treatment thereafter based on re-treatment criteria.
Intervention: ranibizumab
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12
BCVA was measured in the study eye using an eye chart and was recorded as the number of letters read correctly for a total possible score of 0 to 100. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The higher the number of letters read correctly, the better the vision (or visual acuity) A positive change from Baseline (more letters read correctly) indicates improvement.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Central Retinal Subfield Thickness Using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)(Baseline, Month 12)
- Percentage of Patients With 15-or-More Letter Improvement in BCVA(Baseline, Month 12)
- Percentage of Patients With a 15-or-More Letter Decrease in BCVA(Baseline, Month 12)
- Time to BCVA Improvement of 15-or-More Letters(12 Months)
- Percentage of Participants Not Completing the Month 12 Visit Due to Treatment Failure(12 Months)
- Change From Baseline in National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire-25 (VFQ-25)(Baseline, Month 12)
