Safety and Efficacy of Two Regimens of Ranibizumab 0.5 mg in Chinese Patients With Neovascular AMD

Random, Open-label Multicenter, Phase IV Study Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Two Regimens of Ranibizumab 0.5 mg in Chinese Patients With Neovascular AMD

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different dosing regimens of ranibizumab (0.5 mg on BCVA by 1+PRN vs 3+PRN) in Chinese patients with wet AMD. This study is to provide long-term safety data in the treatment of Chinese patients with wet AMD.

Inclusion Criteria： Age ≥ 50 y/o, nAMD patients（including PCV） Best-corrected visual acuity（BCVA） Exclusion Criteria： Previous anti-VEGF treatment within 3 months History of intraocular surgery within 3 months or arrangement of intraocular surgery in the next 6 months from baseline Active or recent intraocular inflammation in the study eye Primary Endpoint： Improvement in BCVA compared to baseline Other： Central Macular Thickness after Treatment，Numbers of Injections

Inclusion Criteria:

• Written informed-consent before any evaluation
• Visual impairment due to active CNV,including predominantly classic CNV,minimally classic CNV,occult CNV with no classic component and PCV.
• 50 years old and older
• Chinese
