Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
  • Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to AMD (i.e., predominately classic, minimally classic or occult no classic) as documented by fluorescein angiogram.
Exclusion Criteria:
  • Previous or concomitant therapy with intravitreous corticosteroids.

  • Any of the following underlying diseases including:

  • Diabetic retinopathy

  • History or evidence of severe cardiac disease (e.g., NYHA Functional Class III or IV), history or clinical evidence of unstable angina, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction or revascularization within last 6 months, ventricular tachyarrythmias requiring ongoing treatment.

  • History or evidence of clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, such as intermittent claudication or prior amputation.

  • Clinically significant impaired renal (serum creatinine >2.5 mg/dl or s/p renal transplant or receiving dialysis) or hepatic function. Patients with results outside these ranges may be enrolled in consultation with Ophthotech.

  • Stroke (within 12 months of trial entry).

  • Any major surgical procedure within one month of trial entry.
