Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) for the treatment of macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).Design: Randomized, double-masked, phase 3 trial.Participants: A total of 188 patients with macular edema secondary to CRVO.Methods: Patients received IAI 2 mg (IAI 2Q4) (n = 114) or sham injections (n = 74) every 4 weeks up to week 24. During weeks 24 to 52, patients from both arms were evaluated monthly and received IAI as needed, or pro re nata (PRN) (IAI 2Q4 + PRN and sham + IAI PRN). During weeks 52 to 100, patients were evaluated at least quarterly and received IAI PRN.Main Outcome Measures: The primary efficacy end point was the proportion of patients who gained >= 15 letters in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline to week 24. This study reports week 100 results.Results: The proportion of patients gaining >= 15 letters was 56.1% versus 12.3% (P
