Study Description

Brief Summary: This is a Phase IV, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, 2-arm, multicenter study. The primary objective was assessed by the difference in the mean number of ranibizumab injections applied up to Month 11 between the 2 treatment arms. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of the 2 treatment arms; i.e. Arm 1 ranibizumab monotherapy, Arm 2 ranibizumab with Grid\&Direct short pulse laser photocoagulation combination therapy. There were 3 periods in this study: Screening Period (visit 1), Treatment Period (visit 2 to Visit 13) and Follow-up Period (visit 14). In addition to screening and Baseline (visit 2), there were monthly visits from Month 1 to Month 12. This study included male and female patients (≥20 years old) diagnosed with visual impairment due to ME secondary to BRVO.
