Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) with macular grid laser photocoagulation for the treatment of macular edema after branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).Design: The VIBRANT study was a double-masked, active-controlled, randomized, phase III trial.Participants: Treatment-naive eyes with macular edema after BRVO were included in the study if the occlusion occurred within 12 months and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was between = 24 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters (20/40-20/320 Snellen equivalent).Methods: Eyes (1 eye per patient) received either IAI 2 mg every 4 weeks (n - 91) from baseline to week 20 or grid laser (n = 92) at baseline with a single grid laser rescue treatment, if needed, from weeks 12 through 20.Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome measure was the proportion of eyes that gained >= 15 ETDRS letters from baseline BCVA at week 24. Secondary end points included mean change from baseline BCVA and central retinal thickness (CRT) at week 24.Results: The proportion of eyes that gained >= 15 ETDRS letters from baseline at week 24 was 52.7% in the IAI group compared with 26.7% in the laser group (P = 0.0003). The mean improvement from baseline BCVA at week 24 was 17.0 ETDRS letters in the IAI group and 6.9 ETDRS letters in the laser group (P
