Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

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.

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

Time frame: Week 24

Secondary Outcomes

Incidence of AEs

Incidence of AEs will be collected

Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

Assessment of length

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.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24

Assessment of weight

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.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24

Assessment of head circumference

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.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24

Assessment of lower leg length

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.
