Registration Number
NCT00440609
Lead Sponsor
Philip J. ferrone, M.D.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Ranibizumab in patients with Clinically Significant Diabetic Macular Edema (CSDME). It will also compare treatment outcomes for patients receiving 0.5mg Ranibizumab and higher doses of 1.0mg and 2.0mg Ranibizumab.
