Abstract
The primary end point was met and ranibizumab showed superiority in BCVA gain over sham in treating ME due to uncommon causes, with a TE of +2.8 letters versus sham at month 2. At month 12, the mean BCVA gain was high (9.6 letters) in the ranibizumab arm; however, the TE was observed to be variable across the different etiology subgroups, reaching a >1-line TE in BCVA in patients with ME resulting from inflammatory conditions/post-uveitis or after cataract surgery. Overall, ranibizumab was well tolerated with no new safety findings up to month 12.
