Brief Summary

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

The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of two different dosing regimens of ranibizumab (either monthly injections or injections as-needed based on the stability of a patient's vision) in Chinese patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) . This study was to provide long-term safety data in the treatment of Chinese patients with wet AMD.
