Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm A: 0.25 mg RO7200220 Q8W
Participants will receive RO7200220 0.25 milligrams (mg), by Intravitreal (IVT) injection, on Day 1 and every 8th week (Q8W), up to Week 44, for a total of 6 injections. A sham procedure will be administered during study visits at which no study drug is administered to maintain masking between treatment arms.
|
Drug: RO7200220
RO7200220 will be administered by IVT injection as specified in each treatment arm. Other: Sham Procedure Sham is a procedure that mimics an IVT injection and involves the blunt end of an empty syringe (without a needle) being pressed against the anesthetized eye. Sham procedure will be administered to participants in the Q8W arms at applicable visits to maintain masking between treatment arms. |
Experimental: Arm B: 1.0 mg RO7200220 Q8W
Participants will receive RO7200220 1.0 mg, by IVT injection, on Day 1 and Q8W, up to Week 44, for a total of 6 injections. A sham procedure will be administered during study visits at which no study drug is administered to maintain masking between treatment arms.

Experimental: Arm C: 1.0 mg RO7200220 Q4W
Participants will receive RO7200220 1.0 mg, by IVT injection, on Day 1 and every 4th week (Q4W), up to Week 44 for a total of 12 injections.

|
Drug: Ranibizumab
Ranibizumab 0.5 mg will be administered to the participants by IVT injection, as specified in the treatment arm.
