The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of aflibercept compared to laser in patients diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The secondary objectives of the study are to assess the need for a second treatment modality, to assess the recurrence of ROP in the study and to assess the safety and tolerability of aflibercept.

Administered IVT
Transpupillary conventional laser will be administered according to standard local procedures.
Percentage of Participants With Absence of Active Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) and Unfavorable Structural Outcomes From Baseline to Week 52 of Chronological Age
Active ROP was ROP requiring treatment and unfavorable structural outcome was defined as retinal detachment, macular dragging, macular fold, or retrolental opacity. For participants with both eyes enrolled in the study, both eyes must have met the endpoint. Participants with only one study eye enrolled were responders if the respective eye responded.
Time frame: Baseline to week 52 of chronological age
Percentage of Participants Requiring Intervention With a Second Treatment Modality From Baseline to Week 52 of Chronological Age
Second treatment modality includes any treatment in addition to that assigned to the participant at baseline. This includes per-protocol rescue treatment (laser for aflibercept group, aflibercept for laser group), anti-VEGF agents not part of study protocol (e.g., bevacizumab, ranibizumab, commercially-available aflibercept not provided as study medication), or any ocular surgery for the management of any retinal pathology secondary to ROP (e.g., victrectomy, scleral buckle for retinal detachments).
Time frame: Baseline to to week 52 of chronological age
Percentage of Participants With Recurrence of ROP Through Week 52 of Chronological Age
Recurrence of disease is defined as the reappearance of the disease requiring further treatment (including retreatment or rescue), where both "presence of ROP" and "presence of active ROP requiring treatment" are marked as "Yes", after initial regression. Here, the initial regression is defined as, at a particular visit, absence of ROP or ROP treatment not required for active ROP, i.e., presence of ROP is marked as "No" or the presence of active ROP requiring treatment is marked as "No."
Time frame: Baseline to week 52 of chronological age
Percentage of Participants With Ocular Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
