Brief Summary

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

This is a multiple-center, multiple-dose, randomized, active comparator-controlled, double-masked, three parallel group, 36-week study in participants with center-involving diabetic macular edema (DME). Only one eye will be selected as the study eye. Where both eyes meet all eligibility criteria, the eye with the worse best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) will be defined as the study eye. The study will consist of a treatment period (20 weeks) and an observational period (up to 16 weeks). Treatment naive participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of the Arms A, B and C, respectively. Participants previously treated with intravitreal (IVT) anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to Arms A and C.

Arm A: 0.3 mg Ranibizumab

Participants will receive 0.3 milligrams (mg) ranibizumab every fourth week up to Week 20, for a total of 6 administrations, followed by an observational period up to Week 36. If a participant meets pre-specified criteria the participant will receive a single dose of 0.3 mg ranibizumab and exit the study.
