Overview
Brief Summary
The present study provided additional efficacy and safety data for 0.5-mg ranibizumab using as needed (PRN) dosing over 24 months in patients with visual impairment due to macular edema secondary to Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO). Spectral domain high-definition optical coherence tomography (OCT) images was analyzed to gain insights into predictive factors for disease progression and the possibility of reduced monitoring was assessed in Year 2. The results of this open-label study provided long-term safety and efficacy data to further guide recommendations on the use of ranibizumab in this indication.

- •Any active periocular or ocular infection or inflammation at Screening or Baseline in either eye
- •Uncontrolled glaucoma at Screening or Baseline or diagnosed within 6 months before Baseline in either eye

Arms & Interventions
Ranibizumab arm
Intravitreal injection with standard dose of 0.5 mg/0.05mL PRN
Intervention: Ranibizumab 0.5 mg/0.05 ml
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean Change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at Month 12 Compared to Baseline
Time Frame: Baseline to month 12
Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) letters was measured using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)-like chart while participants were in a sitting position at a testing distance of 4 meters. The range of ETDRS is 0 to 100 letters. A positive average change from baseline of BCVA indicates improvement
Secondary Outcomes
- Mean Change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at Month 24 Compared to Baseline(Baseline to Month 24)
- Mean Average Change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA From Baseline Month 12 and Month 24(Baseline and Month 1 to 12 or Month 24)
- Number of Patients With a BCVA Value of ≥ 73 Letters (Approximate 20/40 Snellen Chart Equivalent) at Month 12 and Month 24(Month 12 and Month 24)
- Mean Change in Central Reading Center (CRC)-Assessed Central Subfield Thickness (CSFT) From Month 12 and Month 24 Compared to Baseline(Baseline, Month 12 and Month 24)
- Mean Average Change in BCVA From First Treatment Interruption (Due to BCVA Stabilization) to Month 12 and Month 24(Month 12 and Month 24)
- Number of Patients With a BCVA Improvement of ≥1, ≥5, ≥10, ≥15, and ≥30 Letters From Baseline to Month 12 and Month 24 in the Study Eye(Month 12 and Month 24)
- Mean Change in Patient-reported Outcomes in NEI-VFQ-25 Composite and Subscale Scores at Month 12 and Month 24 Compared to Baseline(Month 12 and Month 24)
