Summary
This study will generate comparative data for 0.5-mg ranibizumab using PRN dosing administered with or without adjunctive laser treatment versus laser photocoagulation (the current standard of care) up to Month 6 in patients with visual impairment due to ME secondary to BRVO. Additionally the results of this study will provide long-term (24-month) safety and efficacy data for ranibizumab, administered with or without adjunctive laser treatment in this indication.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Written informed consent must be obtained before any study assessment is performed
- Diagnosis of visual impairment exclusively due to ME secondary to BRVO

Exclusion Criteria
- Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women
- Stroke or myocardial infarction less than 3 months before Screening
- Uncontrolled blood pressure defined as systolic value of >160 mm Hg or diastolic value of >100 mm Hg at Screening or Baseline.
- 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
- Neovascularization of the iris or neovascular glaucoma in the study eye
- Use of any systemic antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) drugs within 6 months before Baseline
- Panretinal laser photocoagulation within 3 months before Baseline or anticipated or scheduled within the next 3 months following Baseline in the study eye
- Focal or grid laser photocoagulation within 4 months before Baseline in the study eye
- Use of intra- or periocular corticosteroids (including sub-Tenon) within 3 months before Screening in the study eye
