Collection of all ocular and non-ocular adverse events [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Safety assessments will consist of monitoring and recording of all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), ophthalmic examinations, evaluation of cataract formation, intraocular pressure by tonometry, vital signs, and routine laboratory parameters.

Extension Study to Compare Long-term Efficacy and Safety of Ranibizumab Intravitreal Injections Versus Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant in Patients With RVO
An Open-label, Multi-center, 6-month Extension Study Comparing the Long-term Efficacy and Safety of Lucentis (Ranibizumab) Intravitreal Injections Versus Ozurdex (Dexamethasone) Intravitreal Implant in Patients With Visual Impairment Due to Macular Edema Following Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) or Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO) Who Have Completed the Respective Core Study (CRFB002EDE17 or CRFB002EDE18)

The study is intended to characterize the clinical benefit regarding safety and efficacy of a long term treatment with Lucentis in comparison with Ozurdex over an additional 6 months and a 3-month follow-up period, following the initial 6-month treatment in the respective core studies CRFB002EDE17 and CRFB002EDE18.

Phase 4
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Retinal Vein Occlusion
  • Biological: RFB002
  • Drug: Dexamethasone
    Ozurdex (Dexamethasone): intravitreal implant as per commercial label (700 µg Dexamethasone;
  • Experimental: Arm A

    The PRN injection scheme applied in the core study will also be followed during this extension study:

    Patients should be monitored monthly (starting at V1E) for VA and treatment is to be resumed when monitoring indicates loss of VA due to disease activity. Monthly injections should then be administered until stable VA is reached again for 3 consecutive monthly assessments (implying a minimum of 2 injections during stable VA). The interval between 2 doses should not be shorter than 1 month

    Intervention: Biological: RFB002
  • Active Comparator: Arm B
    A PRN re-treatment scheme will be applied for the Ozurdex arm during this extension study, i.e. patients may receive an implant at V1E or later as needed: Patients should be monitored monthly and if there is a decline from stable VA stability due to macular edema patients will receive another intravitreal implant. (700 µg; long acting release (LAR)) given that in the opinion of the investigator the patient would benefit from the re-treatment. However, a minimum period of 5 months in between implantations is required.
    Intervention: Drug: Dexamethasone
