Efficacy and Safety of Ranibizumab in Japanese Patients With Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO in Japan)

November 16, 2016 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

A 3-month, Phase III, Open-label, Single Arm, Multicenter Study Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of 0.5 mg Ranibizumab Monthly Intravitreal Injections as Monotherapy in Patients With Visual Impairment Due to Macular Edema Secondary to Branch or Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO)

The purpose of this study is to provide efficacy and safety data of 3 consecutive monthly intravitreal injections with 0.5 mg ranibizumab in Japanese patients with visual impairment due to macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (BRVO or CRVO) to support the applicability of the phase III study results of BRAVO and CRUISE in this indication, in the Japanese ethnic patients.

  • CRVO: BCVA score ≥24 and ≤73 letters ETDRS (approx. Snellen equivalent of 20/320 and 20/40) at Visit 1 and 2
  • BRVO: BCVA score ≥19 and ≤73 letters ETDRS (approx. Snellen equivalent of 20/400 and 20/40) at Visit 1 and 2

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or nursing women
  • History of stroke
  • Uncontrolled blood pressure

  • Prior panretinal laser photocoagulation within 3 months prior to Visit 2 in the study eye
  • Prior focal/grid laser photocoagulation within 4 months prior to Visit 2 in the study eye
  • Use of intra-/peri-ocular corticosteroids within 3 months prior to Visit 1 in the study eye
