- Percentage of Patients Who Gained ≥ 15 Letters in Their Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score From Baseline at Month 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Month 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]BCVA was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA) chart starting at a test distance of 4 meters. The BCVA score is the number of letters read correctly by the patient. An increase in the BCVA score indicates an improvement of vision.
- Mean Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score at Months 24 and 36 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Months 24 and 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]BCVA was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA) chart starting at a test distance of 4 meters. The BCVA score is the number of letters read correctly by the patient. An increase in the BCVA score indicates an improvement of vision. A positive change score indicates improvement.
- Percentage of Patients With a Visual Acuity (VA) Snellen Equivalent of 20/40 or Better at Months 24 and 36 [ Time Frame: Months 24 and 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]VA was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity chart starting at a test distance of 4 meters. An increase in the number of lines read correctly by the patient in the ETDRS chart indicates an improvement of vision. The Snellen equivalent of 20/40 or better is 69 or more letters correctly read in the EDTRS chart.
- Percentage of Patients Who Lost < 15 Letters in Their Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score From Baseline at Months 24 and 36 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Months 24 and 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]BCVA was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA) chart starting at a test distance of 4 meters. The BCVA score is the number of letters read correctly by the patient. An increase in the BCVA score indicates an improvement of vision.
- Mean Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score at Months 24 and 36 in Patients With Focal Edema at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline to Months 24 and 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]BCVA was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA) chart starting at a test distance of 4 meters. The BCVA score is the number of letters read correctly by the patient. An increase in the BCVA score indicates an improvement of vision. A positive change score indicates improvement.
- Mean Change From Baseline in Central Foveal Thickness at Months 24 and 36 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Months 24 and 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Central foveal thickness was assessed in optical coherence tomographic images by the central reading center. A decrease in foveal thickness suggests a reduction in macular edema. A negative change score indicates improvement.
- Percentage of Patients With a ≥ 3-step Worsening From Baseline in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale Score for Eyes at Months 24 and 36 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Months 24 and 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The severity of diabetic retinopathy was graded on a 10-point scale by the central reading center by comparing patient fundus photographic images with a set of standard images. 1=diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity level 10, 12 (DR absent), 2=DR severity level 14A-14C, 14Z, 15, 20 (DR questionable, microaneurysms only), 3=DR severity level 35A-35F (mild non-proliferative [NP]DR), 4=DR severity level 43A, 43B (moderate NPDR), 5=DR severity level 47A-47D (moderately severe NPDR), 6=DR severity level 53A-53E (severe NPDR), 7=DR severity level 60, 61A, 61B (mild proliferative [P]DR), 8=DR severity level 65A-65C (moderate PDR), 9=DR severity level 71A-71D (high-risk PDR), 10=DR severity level 90 (cannot grade). A lower score indicates less severe diabetic retinopathy.
- Percentage of Patients With Resolution of Leakage at Month 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Month 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Resolution of leakage was defined as total area of fluorescein leakage in the central, inner, and outer subfields of the 0 Disc Area. Leakage was assessed in fluorescein angiographic images by the central reading center.
- Mean Number of Macular Laser Treatments From Baseline Through Months 24 and 36 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Months 24 and 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The need for macular laser treatment was evaluated by the masked (evaluating) physician. Macular laser was administered per protocol-specified objective and subjective criteria starting at Month 3.
- Percentage of Patients Who Gained ≥ 15 Letters in Their Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score From Baseline at Month 36 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Month 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]BCVA was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA) chart starting at a test distance of 4 meters. The BCVA score is the number of letters read correctly by the patient. An increase in the BCVA score indicates an improvement of vision.

Detailed Description:
This study is composed of 3 phases: (1) A 24-month controlled treatment period (monthly treatment with ranibizumab 0.3 mg, ranibizumab 0.5 mg, or sham injection) followed by (2) a 12-month treatment period in which patients randomized to the sham group who had not discontinued from treatment (still masked) could choose to receive monthly ranibizumab 0.5 mg while the 2 ranibizumab treatment groups continued on the same treatment they received in the first 2 years. Patients who had not discontinued treatment by Month 36 were eligible to continue treatment with ranibizumab 0.5 mg as needed (pro re nata, PRN) in (3) an extension phase of the study for up to 2 more years, resulting in up to 5 years possible total treatment time for some patients.
