Inclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patient diagnosed with macular edema due to RVO (either BRVO or CRVO, non-ischemic)
Retinal thickness ≥ 300 μm by SD-OCT in the central 1 mm macular subfield of the study eye at the Screening visit
BCVA score of 19 to 73 letters (approximately 20/400 to 20/40 Snellen equivalent) in the study eye measured by ETDRS method at Screening
< 3 months of macular edema duration
Treatment-naive patients (ie, have not previously received any treatment for macular edema secondary to RVO)

Exclusion criteria

Uncontrolled systemic disease
Presence of/history of any ocular condition other than macular edema that affects visual acuity (eg, cataract, severe macular ischemia, foveal atrophy, age-related macular degeneration, uveitis or other ocular inflammatory disease, neovascular glaucoma, Irvine-Gass syndrome, prior macular detachment)
Any of the following ≤ 3 months before study entry or anticipated need within the coming 3 months:
Intraocular surgery
Laser photocoagulation
Intraocular injection
Periocular steroid injection
Vitrectomized eye
Aphakic eyes with ruptured posterior lens capsule or presence of an ACIOL, iris or transscleral fixated intraocular lens
History of marked IOP elevation in response to steroid treatment that (a) required IOP-lowering treatment, (b) resulted in a >10 mm Hg increase in IOP from predose, or (c) resulted in IOP >25 mm Hg
History of glaucoma or ocular hypertension (IOP > 21 mm Hg), or optic nerve head change consistent with glaucoma damage, and/or glaucomatous visual field loss in the study eye (patients with a history of previous angle closure that has been successfully treated with either a laser or surgical peripheral iridotomy [PI] are allowed as long as the visual fields have been stable for > 1 year prior to study entry and the patient has been and can be safely dilated).
Any active ocular infection (i.e., bacterial, viral, parasitic, or fungal) in either eye at the Screening visit
Female patients who are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy, or who are of childbearing potential and not using a reliable means of contraception
Any condition that may interfere or preclude participation in the study
Use of systemic steroids (e.g., oral, intravenous, intramuscular, epidural, rectal, or extensive dermal) within 1 month prior to Baseline or anticipated use at any time during the study (inhaled, intranasal, and intra-articular/intrabursal corticosteroids are allowed)
Use of immunosuppressants, immunomodulators, antimetabolites, and/or alkylating agents within 3 months prior to Baseline or anticipated use at any time during the study
Use of warfarin or heparin within 2 weeks prior to Baseline or anticipated use within the study period
Known allergy, hypersensitivity or contraindication to the study medication, its components, fluorescein or povidone iodine
Current enrollment in another drug or device study within 30 days prior to Baseline
