Safety and Efficacy of Two Regimens of Ranibizumab 0.5 mg in Chinese Patients With Neovascular AMD (ARTIS)

Random, Open-label Multicenter, Phase IV Study Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Two Regimens of Ranibizumab 0.5 mg in Chinese Patients With Neovascular AMD

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different dosing regimens of ranibizumab (0.5 mg on BCVA by 1+PRN vs 3+PRN) in Chinese patients with wet AMD. This study is to provide long-term safety data in the treatment of Chinese patients with wet AMD.
