Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial is designed to compare ranibizumab in comparison with Dexamethasone implant after 6 months of treatment. In the study arm Ranibizumab will be given monthly in a pro re nata scheme whereas the comparator Dexamethasone implant is given once at Month 0 with sham injections PRN afterwards.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ranibizumab

Injections consisted of 0.5 mg/0.05 ml solution to be injected intravitreally

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ranibizumab

Intervention Type DRUG

Injections consisted of 0.5 mg/0.05 ml solution to be injected intravitreally. Ranibizumab was formulated as a sterile solution aseptically filled in a sterile glass vial. It was suitable for single use only and the content of the vial was not allowed to be split

Dexamethasone

Intravitreal implant as per commercial label (700 μg Dexamethasone; long acting release (LAR) over 6 months

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Dexamethasone Implant

Intervention Type OTHER

Comparator Ozurdex® (dexamethasone) was formulated as a rod shaped implant to be inserted into the eye by an applicator. The implant as well as the respective applicator were suitable for single use only.

Sham injection

Intervention Type OTHER

Sham injection: Empty sterile syringes were provided so that masking could be maintained. Either empty syringes in the case of sham injections or pre-filled syringes in the case of ranibizumab injections were visible to the patient in the room of study drug administration
