An additional purpose is to determine if the higher doses (1.0 mg and 2.0 mg) of ranibizumab can increase the time between doses beyond that currently needed with the 0.5 mg dose.
Arm A: 0.5 mg ranibizumab on day 0 with retreatment based on defined criteria not to occur sooner than every 28 days Arm B: 1.0 mg ranibizumab on day 0 with retreatment based on defined criteria not to occur sooner than every 28 days Third Arm 2.0mg Arm with retreatment based on defined criteria not to occur sooner than every 28 days
Subjects will be treated with 0.5mg ranibizumab at the Day 0 visit and the as needed based on defined retreatment criteria no sooner than every 28 days since last treatment.
Subjects will be treated with 1.0mg ranibizumab at the Day 0 visit and the as needed based on defined retreatment criteria no sooner than every 28 days since last treatment.
Subjects will be treated with 2.0 mg ranibizumab at the Day 0 visit and the as needed based on defined retreatment criteria no sooner than every 28 days since last treatment.
