Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Any major illness or major surgical procedure within 1 month before screening • Uncontrolled blood pressure • Stroke (cerebral vascular accident) or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to Day 1 • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study Ocular Exclusion Criteria for Study Eye ? History of previous episodes of macular edema due to RVO or persistent macular edema due to RVO diagnosed more than 4 months before screening ? Any current ocular condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, is currently causing or could be expected to contribute to irreversible vision loss due to a cause other than macular edema due to RVO in the study eye ?

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of faricimab 6 mg intravitreal (IVT) injections on best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) outcomes;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of faricimab on additional BCVA outcomes • To evaluate the frequency of faricimab treatment administration • To evaluate the efficacy of faricimab on anatomical outcome measures using optical coherence tomography (OCT) • To evaluate the ocular and systemic safety and tolerability of faricimab • To characterize the systemic pharmacokinetics of faricimab • To evaluate the immune response to faricimab ;Primary end point(s): 1.
