Study Details

The aim of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal injections of ranibizumab for the treatment of macular edema due to BRVO if the re-treatment regimen is guided by morphological macular changes detected by OCT compared to re-treatment according to SmPC defined re-treatment criteria (in case of increase of CRT and concomitant decrease of BCVA).

Arms

  • Experimental: OCT guided group
    Patients randomized to this group will get the intravitreal injection of 0.5 mg ranibizumab if the morphological macular changes for recurrence of macular edema (microcystic changes with or without increase of central retinal thickness) will be detected by OCT.
  • Active Comparator: Standard treatment
    Patients randomized to this group will get the intravitreal injection of 0.5 mg ranibizumab according to the in SmPC defined re-treatment criteria (re-injection if decrease of BCVA will be detected).

Primary Outcome Measure

change of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measured in ETDRS letters [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
