Combination of Intravitreal Ranibizumab With or Without Macular Laser Photocoagulation for ME Secondary to BRVO

December 25, 2022 updated by: Yu Xiaobing, Beijing Hospital

The Randomized Double-blind Controlled Clinical Trial of Combination of Intravitreal Ranibizumab With or Without Macular Laser Photocoagulation for Macular Edema Secondary to Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

To investigate the efficacy of laser photocoagulation combined with ranibizumab intravitreal injection in macular edema (ME) secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in long term.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

To investigate the efficacy of ranibizumab intravitreal injections-driven by achieving vision acuity stabilization compared to combination with laser photocoagulation in Chinese patients with visual impairment in ME due to BRVO.

The result of the trial will be used to support new therapy in the BRVO in China.
