RADIANCE: A Randomized Controlled Study of Ranibizumab in Patients with Choroidal Neovascularization Secondary to Pathologic Myopia – Corrected Proof
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of ranibizumab 0.5 mg, guided by visual acuity (VA) stabilization or disease activity criteria, versus verteporfin photodynamic therapy (vPDT) in patients with visual impairment due to myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV).Design: Phase III, 12-month, randomized, double-masked, multicenter, active-controlled study.Participants: Patients (N = 277) with visual impairment due to myopic CNV.Methods: Patients were randomized to receive ranibizumab on day 1, month 1, and thereafter as needed guided by VA stabilization criteria (group I, n = 106); ranibizumab on day 1 and thereafter as needed guided by disease activity criteria (group II, n = 116); or vPDT on day (Read more...)
