Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score Averaged Over Weeks 68 and 72, as Assessed Using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Chart at a Starting Distance of 4 Meters
BCVA letters were measured using EDTRS chart while participants were at a starting distance of 4 meter. The range of EDTRS is 0 to 100 letters. Higher scores indicate improvement in visual acuity (VA).
Baseline, Week 68, Week 72
Secondary Outcomes (14)
Change From Baseline in BCVA Score Over Time
From baseline up to Week 72
Percentage of Participants Who Lose ≤ 15, ≤ 10, ≤ 5, or Gain ≥ 0 Letters in BCVA Score From Baseline Over Time
From baseline up to Week 72
Change From Baseline in Center Point Thickness (CPT)
From baseline up to Week 72
Change From Baseline in Central Subfield Thickness (CST)
From baseline up to Week 72
Proportion of Participants Who do not Undergo Supplemental Treatment With IVT Ranibizumab Before Each Refill-exchange Procedure
Up to Week 72
- +9 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (1)
Port Delivery System (PDS)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will have the PDS implant (pre-filled with 100 mg/mL of ranibizumab) \[approximately 2-milligrams (mg) dose\] surgically inserted in the study eye on Day 1. Participants who meet the disease activity criteria (DAC) at Week 24 or receive supplemental treatment with intravitreal (IVT) injections of ranibizumab prior to Week 24 will receive implant refill exchanges every 24 weeks (Q24W). Participants who do not meet the DAC at Week 24 and have not received supplemental treatment will receive PDS refill exchanges Q36W.
Interventions
Ranizumab will be administered via a PDS implant per the schedule described in the arm.
Participants will receive ranibizumab delivered through the PDS implant. Participants will receive ranibizumab, 0.5 mg IVT injections as a supplemental treatment.

- Masking Details
- The outcome assessor (Visual acuity assessor) will be blinded. * The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) examiner will only conduct refraction and BCVA assessments and will be masked to participant study eye assignment and study visit type. * The BCVA examiner will have no access to a participant's BCVA scores from previous visits and will be aware only of the participant's refraction data from previous visits. * The BCVA examiner may provide no other direct or indirect participant care.
