Eligible participants treated according to local routine clinical practice will be enrolled in the study upon signing an Informed Consent.

Participants will enter the study when they receive their first treatment and are followed up for 24 weeks. During the follow up period, participants could receive post-baseline treatment (i.e., ranibizumab or laser therapy) Patients will be treated according to the approved label and standard of care and as per Investigator judgement.

End of study will be defined as completion of the week 24 visit or premature withdrawal visit

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Signed informed consent from parent(s) or legal guardian(s), in compliance with local requirements
  • Male or female preterm infants with a birth weight of less than 1500 g
  • Bilateral ROP with 1 of the following retinal findings in each eye:
  • Zone I, stage 1+, 2+, 3 or 3+ disease, or
  • Zone II, stage 3+ disease, or
  • A-ROP

Exclusion criteria

  • Have a history of hypersensitivity (either the patient or the mother) to ranibizumab or any component of the ranibizumab formulation or to drugs of similar chemical classes
  • Have been previously exposed to any intravitreal or systemic anti-VEGF agent (either the patient or the mother during this child's pregnancy)
  • Have used (either the patient or the mother) other investigational drugs as part of another clinical study (other than vitamins and minerals) within 30 days or within 5 half-lives of the other investigational drug, whichever is longer
  • Have received any previous surgical or nonsurgical treatment for ROP (e.g., ablative laser therapy or cryotherapy, vitrectomy)
  • Participants who have contraindications according to locally approved ranibizumab label

Treatment and study plan

Ranibizumab

Other

Prospective observational study. There is no treatment allocation. Patients prescribed with ranibizumab 0.2 mg in the commercial setting are eligible to enroll into this study.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with absence of active Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) and absence of unfavorable structural outcomes in both eyes during the observational period after starting study treatment.

    Time frame: Week 24

    To achieve this outcome, participants cannot fulfill any of the following criteria:

    • Require intervention for ROP in either eye at or before the 24week assessment visit with a treatment modality other than ranibizumab
    • Have active ROP in either eye at the 24week assessment visit
    • Have unfavorable structural outcomes in either eye at or before 24-week assessment visit

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of AEs

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

    Incidence of AEs will be collected

  2. Assessment of length

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24

    For the assessment of length the participant should be wearing minimal clothing (e.g., a clean diaper). Recumbent length in centimeters will be measured using an infantometer or according to local clinical practice.

  3. Assessment of weight

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24

    For the assessment of weight the participant should be wearing minimal clothing (e.g., a clean diaper). Body weight to the nearest gram will be measured using an electronic scale.

  4. Assessment of head circumference

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24

    For the assessment of head circumference the participant should be wearing minimal clothing (e.g., a clean diaper). The maximum occipitofrontal head circumference in centimeters will be measured using a tape measure.

  5. Assessment of lower leg length

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24

    For the assessment of lower leg length the participant should be wearing minimal clothing (e.g., a clean diaper).The lower leg length (knee-heel length) will be measured to the nearest 0.1 centimeter using a sliding caliper or according to local clinical practice. Measurements should always be done on the right side, unless a physical deformity affects the right side.

  6. Time to intervention with a second modality for ROP or development of unfavorable structural outcome

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

    Time to intervention with a second modality for ROP or development of unfavorable structural outcome will be collected

  7. Proportion of participants with re-treatment of ROP receiving any post-baseline intervention

    Time frame: 24 weeks

    Proportion of participants with re-treatment of ROP receiving any post-baseline intervention at or before 24 weeks

  8. number of ranibizumab administrations needed in the treatment of participants with ROP

    Time frame: 24 weeks

    number of ranibizumab administrations needed in the treatment of participants with ROP will be collected

  9. Full retinal vascularization in 12 clock hours

    Time frame: Week 24

    Full retinal vascularization in 12 clock hours at the 24-week assessment to evaluate fundus features of ranibizumab 0.2 mg in the treatment of ROP
