Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Patients who at baseline have a BSCVA in the study eye between 20/320 and equivalent to 20/40, using an ETDRS chart measured at 4 meters
* Patients who at baseline have a chronic macular edema (\> 3 months) in the study eye with the following characteristics as determined by fluorescein angiography:
* Evidence that the macular edema extends under the geometric center of the foveal avascular zone.
* Evidence that the edema is only secondary to BRVO (no other relevant ocular diseases, e.g. uveitis).
* Patients who at baseline have a chronic macular edema (\> 3 months) in the study eye with the following characteristics as determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT 3):
* Evidence that central macular thickness is \> 225 μm.
* Ability of subject to understand character and individual consequences of clinical trial.
* Signed and dated informed consent of the subject must be available before start of any specific trial procedures.
* For women with childbearing potential, adequate contraception (negative pregnancy test result, serum or urine at trial entry, after treatment and at end of study).
* Only one eye of a patient may be included to this trial.
Exclusion Criteria
* Have a relevant ocular disease which may be associated with increased intraocular VEGF levels (namely uveitis, neovascular glaucoma, neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic maculopathy, ocular ischemic syndrome, and others)
* Have a relevant systemic disease which may be associated with increased systemic VEGF levels (namely all malignancies)
* Had previous treatment for macular edema (laser, triamcinolone, vitrectomy)
* Pregnancy and lactation.
* History of hypersensitivity to the investigational medicinal product or to any drug with similar chemical structure or to any excipient present in the pharmaceutical form of the investigational medicinal product.
* Participation in other clinical trials within the last 3 months.
* Medical or psychological condition that would not permit completion of the trial or signing of informed consent.
* Arterial hypertension refractory to medical treatment
