Macular Edema, Retinal Vein Occlusion

Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of OZURDEX® (700 µg dexamethasone implant) in patients with macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion.

Interventions

OZURDEX® (700 µg dexamethasone implant) administered intravitreally on day 0, and approximately every 4 months as needed (based on physician judgment) for up to 12 months.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at Month 6Baseline, Month 6BCVA is measured in the study eye using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 letters (best). A positive number change in the number of letters read correctly means that the vision improved and a negative number change in the number of letters read correctly means that the vision has worsened.

Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at Month 6

BCVA is measured in the study eye using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 letters (best). A positive number change in the number of letters read correctly means that the vision improved and a negative number change in the number of letters read correctly means that the vision has worsened.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all enrolled participants. n in the category is the number of participants with data available for analysis.
