Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Ranibizumab 0.5 mg/0.05 ml
Experimental: Ranibizumab arm - Intravitreal injection with standard dose of 0.5 mg/0.05mL PRN
Treatment: Drugs: Ranibizumab 0.5 mg/0.05 ml
Patients will receive the first dose at Baseline, as an intravitreal injection with a standard dose of 0.5 mg/0.05 ml. Patients will receive at least 3 study treatments at monthly intervals (Day 1, Month 1 and Month 2). The last mandatory dose during treatment initiation will be administered approximately 60 days after the first study treatment. If there is no improvement in VA over the course of the first 3 injections, continued treatment is not recommended and the patient may receive alternative treatment at the investigator's discretion.

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. Mean Average Change: for each patient, first average change is calculated as the average of the changes from baseline to Month 1 over Month 12 (or Month 24). Then, mean average change is calculated as the average of average changes across all patients.

The survey consists of 25 items representing 11 vision related constructs (general vision, ocular pain, near activities, distance activities, social functioning, mental health, role difficulties, dependency, driving, color vision, peripheral vision) plus a single-item general health rating question. The score of each individual question ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 which indicates the best possible response. The composite score and score of each of each construct also range from 0 to 100 as they are calculated as total scores divided by the number of questions. The higher the values of total scores represent better outcome. Scores per visit and of the change descriptively by visit.

Summary
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.
